Hope Has Come Home!

When I first saw Hope at Walmart I knew she was the dog that I had been looking for. I walked up to her, sat on the ground (in a dress) and felt an immediate bond. After filling out the application I walked to the car and Hope tried to go with me at that time. We knew it was meant to be BUT...Hope came to us after a very rough beginning to life. We were not sure what we were going to get for a dog when we brought her home. Everyone at the shelter told us what a good girl she was but she had some very rough times and we were a little nervous. 
Hope is AMAZING. She is calm, she is super loving, listens and follows directions first time always, walks great on a leash, loves to ride in the car, loves to sleep with her "brother" (a 13 year old human but don't tell her that!!!) she is very good with her 3 year old sister, has never had an accident, has not eaten anything, will not leave the yard even off a leash, and she protects her house. Hope loves her pink bed, leash, collar, and now her pink nails. She is a very pampered pooch! 
I had concerns that people would be afraid of her thinking that she is a "bully breed" however people see Hope and melt. It has to be the eyes! This is GREAT because she goes everywhere with us. 
We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to have Hope in our lives and we are blessed to be able to provide her with her FUREVER home! 

Thank You Paradise!

Bruce (aka Cheetoh)

I just wanted to share some news with all of the paradise staff! About 2.5 weeks ago, I adopted Cheetoh from the shelter. He is doing wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a nicer kitty. He is so full of life and loves to play. I will say since he was just a little guy, we have changed his name to "Bruce". I don't think he minds! I am so happy he gets along well with our other cat, Stella and he LOVES our Shih-tzu, Harley. He is on antibiotics for a URI, but he is improving greatly since we first got him. He sure is full of energy and doesn't like to slow down at all (unless it's cuddling with the dog). I am so grateful to have found this little guy, and I can't wait to spend my adult life with him! He is such a great kitten, and I'm sure will be an even greater cat!

Jake

 Jake is a perfect fit to our family we could not have asked for a better dog/pup. I have so many pictures/videos to share with you of Jake. He gets along great with our out door kitty Spooky, our indoor kitty Jewel, our Parrot Scooter, and our three other birds. Him and the kids are inseparably, he loves to play with my mom and dads 12yr old Pit Bull (Tasha). He is never chained up and does not ever leave the yard unless he is walking with us. We barely ever put him on a leash for the mere fact he doesn't leave our side. He has learned to sit on command, lay down, and roll over ;-) He has his own special bed that Grandma made for him with his name embroidered on it, I take it in my room each night beside my bed where he likes to sleep each night. He goes everywhere with us. He has many toys that he loves...cute story: One morning while sitting on the couch I saw him looking around the house under things and behind things and noticed he was gathering all his toys and taking them to his bed it was so cute to see!!!
