The Show Stopper!

Gage's new family sent in this update today. . .

"He's a show stopper ... EVERYWHERE we go we are stopped by folks who want to know what kind of dog he is, where he came from, etc. No one can believe he was a shelter dog and almost died.!"

"He's doing great, is pushing 90 pounds now, and is a happy, healthy, dopey boy! In addition, we're fostering a very good natured Anatolian Shepherd and Gage is thrilled to have him for the time being.! They're comparable in size and keep each other in check. They are big pals."

And from the looks of these pictures, Gage (formerly Stryker) is loving being spoiled!

Deuce Adopted a Family!

Deuce's dream came true on Saturday and he was adopted into his forever home with everything he ever wanted ... kids to play with, a doggie sibling, and a big yard for his frisbie games! The kids already searched out just the right frisbie for him to have waiting for him when he arrived.

Deuce had been treated for level four heart worms after being surrendered by his owner at a kill shelter. He was anemic and spent almost six months in his foster home ... at first recovering from the treatment and then just waiting patiently for the right family to come along. And come along they did. Though it happened in a round about way, this was truly one of those things that was meant to be. He has already bonded with his new family and absolutely adores the kids. He greeted Belinda, his new Mom, with lots of wet doggie kisses. It was a match made in heaven, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving dog. Have a wonderful life Deuce!

Hey, I'm Chance

I was a sad little dog, left outside without companionship because the family couldn't care for me. This really nice lady read about me on readlarrypowell.com and called Metroplex Mutts to ask if they would take me into their program if she would foster. So now here I am, having the time of my life - I even got to go to doggie daycare today! With the help of my foster brother, I have learned how to use the doggie door and I haven't had an accident in the house since then. I'm also crate trained and I love to spend quiet time there. I would really like to have some children and other dogs to play with. I'm a little guy, so I don't take up much room. I sure would like to spend this Christmas at your house - and every Christmas after - if you adopt me!

Happy Holidays,
Chance
