TAJ
In July 2008 we
adopted Taj (black kelpie x). I just want to let you know how he is
going.
Taj has become one of us. He is such a loving gentle animal, yet
very cheeky at times, but we are really glad we adopted him when we
did. All our friends and relatives love him to bits also, especially
the little kids. Taj is so good with them even when they are
pulling at him! Taj just loves to be cuddled and likes attention!
Except when it is bath time!! He is fantastic when travelling in the
car and often gets sad when we go out without him. But when we
arrive home we get a warm welcome cuddle from Taj. It really puts a
smile on our faces, especially after a bad day at work.
Sometimes he thinks he is a little dog when he decides he wants to
sit on a lap! Unfortunately he is a bit big for that. Taj is such a
fast learner, and will pick up on things almost instantly. We took
him to obedience training which he excelled at, and we also learnt a
lot from this.
Taj has so much character; we couldn't imagine life without him.
Thank you so much for bringing Taj to us and into our lives.

She settled in really well and made herself right at home and is now a
part of the the furniture!!
She as an older brother (though he's a third of her size) she plays with
all the dogs on the oval and as the best nature anyone could ask for she
loves the beach and wont come out of the water she loves it so much.

she thinks it fun even if the birds don't.

Flicka now Murphy
Hello K9, Adam McGregor here. My partner Lindy and I adopted 'Flicka'
back in March . He is know called Murphy. I just wanted to drop you
guys a line and tell you how he is getting on. Well he is fantastic! and
settled into our family perfectly. He took a wee while to twig he was
here for good and now feels very much at home. He has a great
temperament, a very loving dog always wanting and giving hugs. He is
still quite excitable around other dogs and absolutely loves chasing
birds at our local park (his favourite past time). He loves the beach,
especially playing the game chase the shadow in the waves. His training
is coming on well, still very excitable but he is getting better
everyday, still very much a puppy.
Many thanks again to everyone at K9, you made our visit very enjoyable
and have given us a great dog, keep up the good work!
Thanks again, Adam & Lindy x

VIVA now MILO
Hi there,just thought we would drop a line to let you know how Milo is
doing now that we have had her for 9 months.
this little girl is the most friendliest, loving and sociable dog we
have ever known. Milo never ever barks she just does silly growls when
she's excited especially when she sees her dinner coming. Milo is now 17
months old and her favourite thing to do is go to the beach to play with
all the other dogs and have a swim.
Milo loves nothing better after a long walk to lay on the sofa in the
kitchen and sleep for hours! Even though she is still young if visitors
come round sometimes she does not even get off the sofa to say hello and
never comes to the front door. Milo is loved by all that see her and
everyone comments on how pretty she is. Milo is registered to Rockingham
city council and her only naughty habit is not coming back when called!!
Thanks K9 for all you do in getting these dogs out to loving families
and giving them a second chance, without you we would not have such a
great dog.

Herman now Jake
I would like to thank you for introducing us
to our wonderful new member of the family!
Herman (now Jake) was adopted from you
about three weeks ago by my partner and I, and might I say, he
really has settled in beautifully! After an initial couple of nights
of him being quite timid and learning to trust us, we knew he had
become comfortable when we spotted him walking with quite a bit of
attitude, and claiming all of the bones (including our other dog's
Layla) in the back yard! He loves cuddling inside with the heater,
and loves his daily walks. He has also become accustomed to drives
in the car to visit the beach, and will sit and stare out the back
seat, watching cars wiz by.
Layla and Jake have now become fast
friends, if they are not running around the back yard playing, they
are curled up together on their beds or kissing each other (lots and
lots of kisses that is!). They cannot be seperated for long as they
really do start to miss each other, it was puppy love at first
sight! Jake is so happy with us and the smile he constantly has on
his face proves it, and the smile and laughs from us show just how
happy we are with him too! We love him dearly, and he will have a
great life with us.
If it weren't for all of your hard
work, care and patience with all the dogs you have to take in, we
would never have found Jake. And now that we have him, we could
never imagine our life without him. After spending our time with
him, it is evident that Jake was abused in a previous life.. and if
it wasn't for all of the volunteers, he may never have had a chance
to know what it feels like to have a loving family and a new life.
Please know what you do is appreciated by all creatures great and
small, and I will never forget where I got my puppy from!
Please see attached photo's of our
beautiful boy.
Thank you - Amy and Jono.

Hugh
now Sammy
Here are some pictures of Hugh (now Sammy) who we brought home two
weeks ago.
He has settled in well and is now
quite at home with his comfy bed and toys. Tommy our 13 year old
dalmatian has learned to cope with a young buck around the place
although I think his speed spins Tommy's brain at times.
Sammy is everyone's favourite and
hasn't proven to be any trouble (as yet). He has even accepted the
cat and the cat is reluctantly putting up with him.
He has eaten a couple of shoes (we
left them near him) and had dug a hole or two but he will be with us
for a very long time.
Thank you for the work you do
re-homing dogs and caring for them whilst they wait for their new
lives.
Wishing you all the best with your
wonderful work
With thanks Tim and Danae

Hans
Been meaning to drop you a line to let you know how Hans is
getting on, he has been with us only 2 weeks now and it
seems like forever.
He completely fitted in from the beginning and made himself
at home, he has been so good we can;t quite believe it, he
is mad for the ball and we have to play for hours with any
kind of ball, if we try to have a rest he puts it at our
feet or on our lap.
He sleeps in the garage, the first night we thought he was
going to be like a new baby and cry about it, but not a peep
out of him till we got up to see him in the morning.
He is not very good taking for a walk and gets a little too
excited and pulls especially if he sees another dog or a
ball, he only wants to play but can seem a little boistrous
to other people and dogs, therefore we have to take him to
doggie school for some social skills.
The first week he was at the vets after a dog nipped his ear
and it swelled and was on anti biotics for a week.
He goes to work with my husband when ever possible, Adrian
is a tradie, and Hans just loves it and loves going in the
car, when ever we just open a car door he jumps in even when
we don;t want him to.
But basically he has been great and much better than we ever
expected it to be.
Keep up the great work - Alison

Keeya now Alfie
I just wanted to give you an update on our lovely boy Alfie (formerly
Keeya). As soon as Alfie came into our lives he was a perfect member of
the family. He was very nervous at our first couple of meetings at the
kennels but soon learnt to trust us and now he is the most loving little
boy. He does have a bit of separation anxiety so he follows me
EVERYWHERE! But since we rescued our Maltese, Gumby, he doesn't mind us
going out so much, they are the best of friends! Alfie didn't have
the best start in life, he is partially deaf and partially blind due to
some ill treatment (he still has scars on his face and his eye is split
and can't be repaired) yet still he shows us so much love and trust.
Alfie loves going for his walks and playing with his toys, although he
doesn't quite understand that you aren't supposed to eat toys so they
don't last long! He can sometimes appear a bit lazy but out of nowhere
he gets a burst of energy and goes crazy around the house and howls at
us until we chase him!
I can't thank you enough for introducing us to this cheeky, playful boy.
You do a wonderful job, thank you. Liz, Andrew, Harrison and Benjamin

Sincerely, Giselle
