Otto

We want you to know about Otto Buduski! We adopted him this past winter. He is a Shar-pei/Lab mix. We want you to know Otto is everything and more! The vet said he was in very good health and his attitude could not be better. He is very happy! He has a doggy door that he took to right away. He has about 50 stuffed toys that he has been chewing-up. He piles them all around him as he chews them one by one. He sleeps in bed with us and sleeps between us! He loves our 7 yr old, the other two Shar-pei females (his harem), and he loves, plays, and sleeps with the two cats. We absolutely love everything about this baby! Thanks for giving him to us. There is know one like THE OTTO BUDUSKI! Jackie

THEO

My name is Theodore, better known for my killer good looks and floppy ears. I left the shelter less than a month ago, and I am doing fantastic. I go to the beach almost every weekend and every day I am meeting someone new and learning new things. I love walking, playing with tennis balls and I love to play with sticks...

Although I wasn't formally house trained I am proud to say that I have never had any mishaps. Learning is a breeze. I pick up what they teach me in mere seconds - Yes I am smart, I know!

I love hanging out between the rooms and chilling on the futon - it is my special spot!!! Not to mention, I love my friend, Zeus who lives next door.. Rottweilers are so much fun!!! We bonded on the first day.

I love my new family and they love me a whole lot - I can tell by the patience and dedication they provide in helping me become a better dog. I can now go from being a potential to a star :) They are very proud of me and all the progress I have made... I can tell, I am part of their family.

OTIS

We adopted Otis (Now known as Pogo) a few weeks ago. Just want to let you know how happy he and all of us are. He is such a good dog and seems to be enjoying his new home. Here is a picture of Pogo and his new best friend, Griffin (the lab on the left)
Thanks again
Gail Jamison & family

JORDAN

It is me Jordan! I am attaching some pictures of myself in my new home. I miss all of you but I really like it here. As you can tell by the pictures I really like the guy that took me home His legs are very comfortable. I know that my name is Jordan but they have nicked name me Borris. I think it is because this other cat that lives here is named Natasha. Maybe they think I am Russian. I have been exploring my new house and have found all of the good spots – under the bed, the window seal, the tub, the closet and my favorite spot the kitchen sink. I am eating well, they have treats here and everything. Anyway I just wanted to say HI and thank you all for taking such good care of me and for taking the time to find me my new home. Please tell all of my friends that I said HELLO

Love always, Jordan
and new parents
Paul and Melissa……We just love her :)

SHANNA

I wanted to write you and let you know that Shayna is doing very well. She is an excellent dog with a great temperment and wonderful personality. She is great with my 21 month old daughter. She has never had an accident in the house and loves to go for walks which is great for me because I can use all the exercise I can get. She has become a very special part of the family to me. She is always by my side. All in All though, I could not have asked for or have gotten a better dog than my Shayna. I love her so much.

ZIGGY

My name is Ziggy formally known as Charlie. Since I was adopted in June, I have quickly adopted my new home and friends in the neighborhood. I have a HUGE yard to play in and I have frequent trips to the dog park to play with my friends and swim in the bay. My new owners love having a dog in the house again, everyday we walk to the school yard and I get to sniff and explore and I start training with my owner on monday!

SASSY

Hi, Sassy is doing fine in her new home, which she has totally taken over. She loves to jump up on the highest thing in the room, like the top of the china cabinet and the refrigerator, and she loves to run up and down the hallway chasing crumped reciepts from my efforts at working at my taxes. She is almost starting to calm down after a week here, and is happy to have the place to herself sometimes. i think she might miss the commotion of her former shelter life a little, because its very quiet here. She has two windows to choose from, and she also likes to sit on the bathtub rim between the shower curtain and the liner. She has some new toys, like a scratching post and a catnip mouse! Thank you Freeport Shelter for my new best friend!

Regards, JM

JAKE

I adopted my dog "Jake" from Freeport in 2005. He came in with a litter of about 5 puppies. Someone local brought them in. I was volunteering for a short period of time back then and came across Jake in this litter. I bent over and looked down and locked eyes with him. I never picked up any puppy except for Jake. I came back the next day and once again picked him up and took him outside into the back and played with him. That was it. I called my husband and told him we were extending our family. I already had a few house cats and a Cairn Terrier that was 10 at the time.
Jake came home with me and God as my witness, fit right in from day one!!! A personality to die for.

A true large lap dog who has never growled, nipped or hurt anyone!
Here is Jake as a baby with his brother Brody and here he is now!

Thanks Freeport....
Christine

DEXTER

Hi, my name is Dexter. The people at the shelter used to call me Elvis. I was adopted on Aug. 16th, 2008. Some of my favorite things to do are going to the state forest to run free and jump in all the water I can find. I also love to hang around with my people and relaxing on the couch with my sister Bridget. Did I mention she is a Chihuahua? People say we look funny together but we love each other. They also tell me I am the ambassador of my breed and the sweetest dog they ever met. Since I moved in with my new family, I have met a lot of new friends and apparently, I have a fan club. Everybody knows my name here. Being in the newspaper was the start of my fame. Luckily, I have changed many people's opinion about Pit Bulls and it didn't take long. I wanted to thank everyone at the shelter especially Lea and Matt for helping me find my new home. My family also said thank you to everyone for bringing them their best friend.
