Sugar's New Year and New Life

Sugar (Sienna) joined our family in January. What a nice way to start the new year! We've already had lots of fun times, from morning walks to "wind in the hair" car rides, romps in 12 inches of snow in February and helping plant flowers in April.

We truly thank Tricia for bringing Sugar into the Metroplex Mutts program. We also thank Sarah and Matt for fostering Sugar with lots of love during her stay there.

We think one reason Sugar is such a loving, wonderful dog is that the Metroplex Mutts program is such a positive experience for the dogs
lucky enough to be rescued by them. So, thank you from the
McLaughlin family for our funny new family member!

Lola (Wanda)

After searching for adoption events from local rescue groups, I decided to make the drive to the Unleashed Dog Park where MetroplexMutts was having an adoption event. I had seen her photo online, but when I saw her... she had to come home with me. It will be a year this coming July since Lola and I are together. She is a fantastic dog. She is everything anyone could ask for and more. Thanks MetroplexMutts for rescuing her so that I can give her the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.

George Picks Out His New Home!

I adopted George (previously Andy) about two months ago. I went to Unleashed dog park, where Metroplex Mutts had brought some of their dogs to introduce them to potential adoptees. Within the first few minutes, George walked up to me and seemingly announced that he was coming home with me. It was love at first sight. George is the sweetest little guy. He loves our daily runs on Katy Trail almost as much as he loves playing tug of war with his favorite toy. He also loves curling up on the couch. He is a delight. Thanks so much Metroplex Mutts!!!

Lucy (formerly LuLu)

We adopted Lucy one week ago and it's like she has been here forever! She has won the heart of her older "fur" sister, which was no easy task! Lucy quickly learned that when the kids get their back packs on and I say "Let's go!" that means we are going for a ride!! She rides shotgun and sits just like a lady. She enjoys her daily walk thru the neighborhood and has to be given a treat just to come inside! That girl loves the outdoors :) Thanks Metroplex Mutts for giving us the opportunity to have Lucy...We love her! The Stolle Family

Maya (Cobie)

We adopted Maya (formerly Cobie) in November. She is the perfect dog for our family. She has traveled with us and our corgi, Rupert, to Oklahoma for both Thanksgiving and Christmas where she has learned to swim, romped with great-danes and other huskies, and had all kinds of holiday treats slipped to her under her new relatives' tables . She even got to experience her first white Christmas! She has won not only our hearts, but those of everyone she meets. She loves to play with Rupert and can keep up with the rowdiest of dogs, but when it comes time to settle in she is just a big snuggle bug. Whether it's sneaking into our bed and curling in between us or stealing a tiny dog bed from a friend, she makes herself right at home. But we especially love when she wakes up and announces herself with a loud "Whooo-woo-WHOOOOO!" Her personality makes us laugh every day. We are very blessed to have had this opportunity to bring her into our home.
Thanks, Metroplex Mutts!

Reiser (Orion)

We adopted Reiser (formerly Orion) in November. He is the BEST.DOG.EVER! Not only is he heartbreakingly cute, but has the sweetest and most loving disposition. Reiser loves to follow us throughout the house - leading us wherever he thinks we need to go next, and leaning up against me in the kitchen while I cook. He is very good at tug-of-war and catch, and it was hilarious to see how quickly he learned to slow down before he hit the hardwood floors. He is very good natured and easy to play with - no jumping, barking, biting or any of the things you'd expect from a puppy his age. You only have to tell him something once. He just wants to be near us, and we with him. We can't thank Metroplex Mutts and awesome foster Mom Natalie enough!

Rocky

We adopted Rocky in November. He is such a sweet dog that was looking for love and a place to call home. After 2 months he has brought joy to our home. He loves his new sister, Honey, and they fall asleep together every night on a dog bed big enough for both of them. Rocky is so loveable!!!! Now I know that dogs can smile because he lights up our house every day with his puppy qualities. Our favorite right now is is ability to jump from carpet to carpet without touching the hardwood floors in between. It's hilarious to see him run and jump down the hall. His new nickname is "Prancer", he would have been a great reindeer for Santa with his leaping abilities. Rocky had a fun Christmas with us as well. I hope you enjoy his Christmas picture with our other dog, Honey. Thank you Metroplex Mutts - by you taking the time to foster Rocky, we now have a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you very much, Melodie & John
