Dumplin

I was adopted by my forever family in October. They didn't even know they wanted a dog until they met me. We met at a school event and when they came to visit me at the shelter, I just knew this was my chance. I showed off a little, did some of my best tricks, and gave plenty of kisses. It worked! When they brought me home, however, I soon realized I had a lot of training to do. I am their first family dog and I knew I'd have to be patient with them. They started by changing my name to Copper. I think it fits me nicely, don't you? I had to learn how to trust this new family of five, but more importantly, the true ruler of this roost: Coco the cat! They bought me yummy food, bones to chew on, and nice cozy beds to sleep in. The kids love to play tug of war with me and teaching me tricks. I can sit, lay down, roll over, shake, walk, and dance. Yes...dance. Cutely, I stand on my two hind legs and spin around like a ballerina. My family loves this! I think I might be
starting school soon, just like my kids. They say I will learn o-b-d-yents, whatever that means. Thank you Paradise Animal Rescue for helping me find my family.
Love and sloppy kisses,
Copper

Thor

We ve been looking to get a new family member for a couple of years. We ve looked at several rescues and just didnt find the right fit for us. We stopped in at Paradise on our way home one day and met Thor. His name is a perfect fit with our other dog Zeus. My wife,(Beth) young son(Aiden) and my self (Jason) all got along great with him. We visited some more and got the paper work to fill out to adopt him. We went home over the wknd pretty sure that we wanted to adopt him. I came by on monday to drop off the paperwork and was disappointed to see that they werent open. So on tuesday Zeus and I went back up with our paperwork and to introduce Thor to Zeus and see how they got along. It all went well and the date was set to pick Thor up and bring him home! He has made a good adjustment in the last couple days to our home. But like any new pet there are growing pains and he has had his timeouts..lol...but he has impressed us with how good and well behaved he is.He will just get
better and better. We love him and are glad he is with us now.
