Don was adopted this afternoon by a couple of guys who have another dog that looks like she could be Don’s sister. Marilyn did a great job of fostering Don and was sad to see him go, but glad to see him go a great home.  

Our sweet Ivy was adopted last night by a fun family with no other dogs; just what Ivy needed! In September 2014, the police found Ivy chained to a trailer.
