George

We just wanted to give an update on George, whom we adopted from you back in July 2014. Attached is a "family" picture we took back in September, with his puppy brother Toby (adopted from another agency). Toby is about a year younger than George, and although it took a few months for them to figure out how to play together, they are inseparable now. Toby is more of a wrestler, George is more of a runner, but the two found a style of play that works for them. Where one goes, the other follows, and George loves his little puppy brother. Over the summer, George started to learn how to swim - sometimes going deeper than where he could touch. Water still makes him nervous, but he loves to be in the water (where he can touch). He'll go out deeper if there is a ball and other dogs are going after it. We often find George either picking raspberries off the raspberry bush, or picking apples off the apple tree in our backyard for him and Toby to eat. Whenever we are at the dog park, George is always keeping a watchful eye on Toby, just in case! George also LOVES children, as we have seen him with my three nieces (who are now 8 months old, 3 years old, and 5 years old). We had the two older nieces at the house over Thanksgiving, and George and the 3 year old were inseparable - indoors and outdoors. George has the most patient personality with children, which is great as we are expecting our first child in January.

Gracie

We just wanted to send an update of Gracie who we adopted back in August 2014. The first few days were a little trying and we still have a few things to work her through, but overall she has come to be quite a mama Gracie in our house. She loves her walks, chews on any number of treats, rawhides, and bully sticks and being with her people. Thank you for helping us to connect with this furry member of the family!

Gretta

This sweet little girl joined our family a couple of months ago. The gentlest little girl, Gitta (Gee-ta), formerly Greta, joined us as a foster to adopt. Well the fostering obviously went over great and she became a full fledged member of our team. We have 2 children (1 & 3.5) and a small dog who needed a big dog in his life again (RIP Zeus). She was one if us from the beginning, gentle with the kids, loving of all of our family and friends we've introduced her to, and a total best buddy to Vinny the chihuahua. She's our 3rd rescue and our first from NDLB. Thank you NDLB for all of your help! She was the size/breed we wanted, wonderfully tempered, and fully house trained! The staff at NDLB made sure all if her medical needs were met in the process and supplied us with all records and history we asked for. NDLB, you truly are a great way to match people in need with the pups that need them most. Thank you again! We'll be recommending your services to anyone looking for a new best friend. (In fact, one of our friends just adopted from you too!) She's perfect and we appreciate everything you've done for us. -The Nelson Family
