Linus's first day home

I came to Paradise rescue to look at an available female puppy.We were all set for a female, we'd had her name picked out for months!! Once my eyes fell on her brother my heart was his!! I couldn't stop looking at him. I took a contract to fill out while taking time to think. 3 1/2 hours later I dropped off my contract to getr approved to take a puppy, not knowing for sure which it would be. I went back to see them again, trying to tell or remind myself that I didn't want a male. As soon as I bent down, he came to me and stayed right at my feet. My best friend and I just laughed because it was as if he chose me too!! I thought my kids would still want the female. So I took them to see which puppy they would want, and they both picked him!! I couldn't believe it.
He is a perfect addition to our family! We love him soooo much!! I had been praying that the Lord would lead us to the puppy He wanted us to have so that I'd know it would be a perfect fit!! I believe with all my heart that He did just that!! We planned on a medium size female, but God knows better!!
I look forward to keeping on touch here with our family as it continues this awesome journey available thanks to Paradise Animal Rescue!!

Joe-Joe

After seeing Joey's picture on Paradise Animal Rescue groups facebook page I knew I had to inquire. I read that he was 7 years of age and this worried me. Most people who adopt are looking for puppies or for young dogs. So, I knew it would be a challenge getting Joey adopted out. I discussed it with my husband and we just knew what we had to do. I made an appointment with his lovely foster mom Diana and he came to my house to meet us and our little dog Darla. Things went well that day and we decided to give him a forever home.

After taking Joey to his new home it was clear he was happy. He made himself right at home!! It was if he belonged there. He's very chill, cool and collective. He has to be at my side at all times... he loves to cuddle and just be as close as possible. Joey loves walks and car rides with his new sister.

We are so happy to have Joey in our lives and we have tons of love to share with him.

Thank you to Paradise Rescue, DIana-Foster Mom and Debbie Irwin for helping.
