Evelyn-ADOPTED

Evelyn has gone home with her new family! She still needs to have some things taken care of by the shelter’s clinic, but she doesn’t need to spend another day in the shelter and that’s something we can ALL celebrate!

She took charge of the meet and greet with her new fur sister and she was like, “Hey, I’m Evelyn.” And her new friend was like, “Hey, I’m Molly.” We went on a walk and that was that. No drama, no tense moments. Just ok, let’s go!

She gave her new dad some licks, something she almost never does, from our experience with her these past few days. She was smiling and just trotted right on outta there today!

Congratulations to you all, we wish you lots of happy days ahead!

Evelyn makes adoption # 376 !

Gucci- ADOPTED

Another adorable gray pittie went home today! Our resident pygmy hippo pot-bellied pig wanna be, Gucci, chose her new family. We’re not sure who looks happier in this picture, but we’re all pretty happy for them all!

Gucci strutted right out the door and didn’t look back, that’s when you know they’re happy! Happy tails, to our girl, we hope you have wonderful days ahead with your new humans! Congratulations to you all!

Gucci’s adoption is # 375 !

Jenni-ADOPTED

THIS sweet girl, Jenni, who just came back from foster and was becoming depressed that she was back in the shelter environment is in her new home tonight! She got quite excited about the Happy Adoption Day stuffed cake that we use for pics, so how could we say no? It was the only thing these past few days she seemed genuinely interested in. We wish her and her new dad only bright and happy days ahead. This girl has been through SO much, she entered the shelter back in September of last year, then eventually went to foster for the past five months.

Happy life, sweet Jenni, you are very loved and we are all happy for you!

Jenni’s adoption is # 374 !

Cookie-ADOPTED

Obie & Rubble-ADOPTED

Shortest time ever at TRN! Obie and Rubble have been adopted!!They met their new sister and then their new mom brought her home and came back to pick them up.Congratulations to the whole family! So happy these two dear boys get to stay together!!!Obie and Rubble are adoptions 369 and 370

Rodan-ADOPTED

Some FUN announcements for Saturday!First up, this little man went home with his new dad today! He came in with at least one other buddy, but that dog was adopted yesterday at the shelter (he’d been with us on Thursday this past week). Today, he was nervous and seemed out of sorts without his pal. But once he realized he was leaving, he perked right up!We wish them both years of happiness together! Congratulations Rodan!

He makes adoption # 368 !

Loki & Lizzi-ADOPTED

Lizzi and Loki have left the building!!They picked their new foster mom today and it was a collaborative effort with the A-MAZING medical foster at the shelter and TRN. Their new mom didn’t want them to have to stay another night in the shelter, so we figured out a way to make it happen and they could still get their much needed medications. Clinic staff was fabulous in helping make it happen! It takes a whole team! They went home together and when we rendezvous’d late this afternoon so we could get her their meds, they were both all smiles and kisses when I got to see them again. You two chose well, and we wish you all lots of fun times together!

Thank you for helping us to keep them together, they are so happy together!! We’re pretty sure once Loki’s medical is figured out and he’s improving that we will have that special announcement to share. No matter, they are home and they got to do it together, that was always the goal. So happy for all of you!

They were both interested in the Happy Adoption Day cake stuffies, and had ZERO interest in posing for pics.

Garry-ADOPTED

We knew Garry wasn’t going to stick around long. He is super friendly and just all around CUTE! Congratulations to him and his new dad, happy tails, little buddy!

We couldn’t resist the urge again to include our volunteer Steve and Garry posing together. They were too adorable.Garry is adoption # 367!

King-ADOPTED

This sweet boy, King, went home this past weekend as a foster and his new foster mom was just smitten with him. We’re keeping our adoption fingers crossed on this one! Good luck to King and his extended family!

Tito-ADOPTED

Our second adoption announcement from the weekend is our gentle giant, Tito! He picked his new mom and her daughter and was truly smitten from the first moment they went in to sit with him. He hopped right up on the couch and plopped that huge head of his right in the daughter’s lap and did his quirky purring thing to let them both know he had made his decision. It took them a bit to agree with him, but after taking him for a walk and snuggling with him in his enclosure, they were hooked. One just can’t help but fall in love with this big lug.When it was time to take the pic, Tito wasn’t sure if it was a toy or maybe a real cake. Sorry buddy, it’s just a photo prop! He was set to have his surgeries yesterday, but when they brought him into the clinic the poor guy was found to have a cold. So that’s on hold for two weeks while he went home to recuperate and take his meds. As soon as he’s feeling better, he’ll be back for his neuter and double cherry eyes surgeries.Congratulations to you all! We hope you have many years of happy times together!Tito makes TRN adoption 365 !

Blaze-ADOPTED

Carnation-ADOPTED

Oh, but we’re not done yet!! We knew Carnation wouldn’t hang around for very long! And she didn’t! Her new mom and dad came in first thing this morning after having seen her right here on our page, met her and quickly decided she was the one for them. They ran home to get their other pup for a meet and greet.

But wait, that’s not all…remember Lucas from a couple of months ago? Well, Carnation now has a fellow TRN alum as a new fur brother! Funny coincidence, she was in the same kennel at the store that Lucas was in during his time with us. After a nice meet and greet, everyone was on their way. But not before adoption pics. As you can see, that was no small feat! Her new bro is such a happy guy, it was wonderful to see him today, too!

Happy tails to the whole family, we’re all so very happy for you and looking forward to fun updates!Carnation is adoption 362!

Toddy Boy-ADOPTED

Another stellar day at TRN! We’ve got multiple announcements, so here goes the first one!

Toddy Boy wants us to know he has chosen his foster mom to be his forever mom. So today, she came in to make it official. She absolutely adores him (who wouldn’t?!), and we are so happy he is settling in and doing so well. We heard whispers that he may have a fur sibling down the road, how awesome will that be?!

Congrats Toddy and Mom, we are so very happy for you both! Mom is in the white shirt in the first pic, this was from when he went home recently.This makes 361 TRN adoptions!

Garu-ADOPTED

What a couple of days it’s been so far this week! CRAZY energy with some of the pups we’ve had!Today, we are so very pleased to announce one of our two remaining long timers has chosen his new humans. And we believe he has made a fabulous choice!

Garu, now Gru, has left the building and he had a smile on his face and trot in his step. He just knew something was different about this walk. There were some tears (yeah ok, most of them were MINE), but so much happiness for this wonderful boy. Best wishes to his new people and to him. We hope this is the beginning of a wonderful happily ever after.

Leonadis was clearly happy about the development because now he doesn’t have to share his favorite volunteers with Garu and his expert cuddling techniques anymore.Gru’s new family already sent us a picture of him at home. That smile pretty much says it all!! Happy life buddy, we already miss you, but we are SO, SOOOOOO happy for you!Gru is our 359th TRN adoption!

Harvard-ADOPTED

You’ve all watched Harvard’s progress over these past couple of months, and many visitors to the store return to see how he is doing. Our volunteers and I adore this sweet guy. Even when he’s destroyed two dog beds, it’s hard to be angry with him! He’s been through so much and he takes it all in stride and smiles and gives sweet kisses and simply enjoys being with the people he loves.

Well, today, Harvard left with his new foster mom and dad. We truly hope this might turn into his forever, and he left with lots of love from his TRN family! Sending good vibes his way and we hope he is sleeping soundly tonight in his new foster home.

He’s been at the shelter since the end of January! So glad his new foster mom came in to see him this past week and brought her hubby in today. Big smiles and a few happy tears when he left today.

Congratulations!

Orphina & Smokefire-ADOPTED

Do you all remember sweet Lobo from last August? He was almost blind, a big husky mix, such a sweet and gentle soul. Well, his mom (on the left in the picture below) came in today and shared the sad news that he crossed the bridge in February. But he had a wonderful six months before his health deteriorated and he let her know he was ready. Rest in peace sweet boy, you were much loved by everyone who knew and loved you!

Fast forward to the past couple of days and she sees the two cuties on our page and something just hit her about them. Today she and her friend came up to the store and it was like they all just needed each other. The two girls were positively wiggly and kissy and waggy and her smile was so big.

So her house grew by 8 little feet today and those girls just knew when we put their collars and leashes on that this time was different when they walked out of the store.

We couldn’t be happier for them all and wish them wonderful days ahead to make lots of good memories together!

Smokefire and Orphina, congratulations on choosing your new mom!

These sweet girls make adoptions #357 and 358!

Bambi & Cassie-ADOPTED

So holy cow, what a day! We were BUSY! Yay for the dogs!!

First up, our two little cuties, Bambi and Cassie are spending their first night in their forever home and we couldn’t be happier for them! They were so happy to be leaving, they both climbed right into their crate and went happily on their way.

Congratulations to you all, happy trails little ones! Another bonded pair success story!

They make adoption numbers 353 and 354!

Carly-ADOPTED

Well, we sure called this one! Little Miss Carly was adopted today! Her new mom saw our teaser post last night and then when she saw her picture this morning, she came right down to meet her.

Carly hit the jackpot with her new mom and dad and we are so happy to see her settling in already! She has a sad past and came in from a rough hoarding case to the shelter a few weeks ago and is a vey scared and timid little gal.

Here is what her adopters sent as an update this afternoon after they got her home:

“She’s doing well, we renamed her “Willow” because a willow tree is strong but doesn’t break – she’s been thru a lot and is still sweet as can be. She was great in the car, she hasn’t made a sound – we’ll see how tonight goes – I’ll be in touch, thank you for everything

“A little later, they sent this:

“She follows me around, and I’ve gotten a few tail wags – she can jump & she seems to enjoy the yard as in she doesn’t want to go inside yet so I’ve been sitting here with her for a while…she’s going to be a great little companion – excellent in the car!”Willow makes TRN adoption # 353! Congratulations to all three of you!!

Vaquera-ADOPTED

Today marked our 350th adoption since Tucson Rescue Now opened its doors at La Encantada! So grateful to John and Jace for their combined vision and for the honor that it is to continue on in John’s memory as we keep saving more shelter dogs’ lives!

Today was little Vaquera’s day to shine. She is such a cute little gal. Her adopter is committed to helping her to gradually lose weight so that she can feel her very best and be the healthiest she can be. Best wishes to them both! The younger boys were all great throughout the process of doing paperwork, so well behaved, thank you guys!

Vaquera was as uncooperative with taking a farewell picture as she could possibly be, so we thought we’d share that little adventure with you all!

Rocky-ADOPTED

We are so happy to announce the adoption of our sweet boy Rocky!He met two of the resident dogs on Saturday and his new mom went to the shelter on Monday to bring him home to Sonoita. She’s told us he thoroughly explored the house and his new property, and promptly chose his new fluffy dog bed and snuggled himself right into it. He and all the resident pups are settling in well and we are looking forward to hearing updates as time goes by. Rocky, we’re pretty sure you picked a great home, happy tails, buddy, we are really going to miss you and your quirky personality! No one can snore quite like you can.Rocky is #346 of TRN adopted pups!

Blanc-ADOPTED

We have another exciting announcement to make! Sweet Blanc, who just rejoined us at TRN after a two week stint in the shelter’s clinic for a doggy cold has gone home to foster! We’re really hopeful this will quickly turn into an adoption, so keep your fingers and paws crossed that she has found her forever!She seemed to just sense that this last time of being leashed up was different than going out for a typical walk. She didn’t want to sit still while we tried to take a pic with her new mom. But she snuggled right in with a friend of the family, how sweet is that picture? While we did paperwork, Blanc fell asleep on her new little friend’s lap!Oh, and remember Monty from a while back? Blanc’s new mom and Monty’s mom are long time friends, so we will get updates on them both! We love that!

Our two big pups, Jimmy and his girl Hendrix, were adopted yesterday right after they returned to the shelter! We wish them the best life with their new family!

Solo Vino-ADOPTED

Not to be outdone, Solo Vino also picked his new family on Sunday!

The guys fell in love with him (Solo is pretty darn loveable, so that came as NO surprise!) and they understand not only his medical needs, but also have experience with his breed. That is super important when you’re dealing with an active husky like Solo!

Here’s to you three making wonderful memories together!

And Solo Vino is #341 for adopted pups! That is AMAZING!

Bradford-ADOPTED

THIS awesome boy not only picked new moms this weekend, but he also picked a pretty terrific new brother, too!

Biscuit-ADOPTED

And finally, bringing us to our 328th adoption…This giant goofball who quickly and pretty much instantly bulldozed his way into all of our hearts…BISCUIT! We went from two little 10 pound pups to this giant 110 pound guy. He’s got an amazing amount of jaw strength when it comes to dismantling toys and playing tug with the giant rope we had. He loved that so much that we all agreed he HAD to go home with it. He has a teen guy to play tug with, and we have NO doubt he will be enjoying that!They already have a spa day scheduled for him this week. They met him yesterday and returned today to have lunch at the mall. But before they went to eat, they came by to make sure he was still at the store and to let us know that he has a new home and to not let anyone else snatch him up.Hilarious escapades ensued during the adoption picture. It’s a stuffed cake that says Happy Adoption Day! Well, he saw it and his eyes lit right up. We eventually distracted him with treats, but not before his new family and I all tried to help pry those ginormous jaws apart to save the stuffy’s life. He thought that was a hilarious game, but in the end, his love of all things treats won out and the cake was saved for another day.He made a big mark in a short time with us (only three days!), but we are looking forward to fun updates and following his story. Biscuit, it looks like you chose well with your new family! Happy life big man, we will miss the sound of you drinking water, it’ll be so quiet again.

Maggie & Sammy-ADOPTED

We’re on a roll…how about another great story? So these two little ragamuffins come to PACC, severely matted and in need of a serious grooming. They are shell-shocked after having been found with their deceased owner. Imagine being a tiny 10 pound little dog in such a huge and scary place like PACC. They clung to each other from the start. We brought them up two days this week to TRN. Yesterday, this nice lady and her lovely granddaughter came in and fell in love with these partially shave and still very shaken little peanuts. The granddaughter asked some fabulous questions and the grandmother shared that her husband loves little pups like these two. We talked about giving them time to settle in and feeding them apart so Maggie doesn’t gobble up everything. And off they went together to their new home! Little Sammy was extremely fearful so we felt sending them home in a loaned cat carrier would be safer to ensure they got home safely and no one got spooked and ran off.Happy tails little ones, best wishes to you and your new family!

Monty

Ready for some more wonderful news? Yeah, us too!So yesterday…MONTY WAS ADOPTED!!!! I (Bonny) have known his mom for several years and when I tell you this boy has hit the jackpot with her and her hubby, that’s a serious understatement. Within literally 10 seconds of meeting his new dad, Monty was sitting at his feet, looking up and slathering him with kisses. This boy is just impossible to not love.They are very experienced with dealing with typical old pittie health issues as well as valley fever, so this dog could not have chosen a better forever. He met their granddaughters and loved them, too. We are so ecstatically happy for what his future holds. He met his two new fur sisters and judging by the smile on his face, he’s pretty darned happy!Happy tears on this one, too!

Sandi & Tara-ADOPTED

There are so many things to update, and all of them are wonderful! Ever have a moment where you feel like your cup runneth over? That is how I am feeling at the end of an emotional and insanely busy week at TRN. In the last two days, we have sent six dogs to their new homes and while some of it is bittersweet, that is absolutely something for us all to rejoice in. I am going to share each one in a different post, but each story needs telling and each adoption needs to be celebrated for what it is: new hope for an old soul to find love and safety in their new home. The first story is the one that so many of you have been waiting to hear about, so I’m going to start there. As you know, Sandi of the bonded pair of Sandi and Tara has cancer that has metastasized. After our plea to find her a fospice home, I was inundated with wonderful messages of hope and a few offers to be their hospice foster for both pups. First, thank you to those who messaged and not one of you asked if they could be separated. That everyone understood why it was so important to keep them together is such a wonderful thing!Very early this morning, I received an email letting me know that she has previously been a fospice for a dog from PACC and that she would like to be their fospice/foster for both Sandi and Tara. Arrangements were made. Kleighrayne, the amazing Medical Foster Coordinator at PACC, was absolutely wonderful this morning with getting everything together that we needed to bring with us for their new mom to meet us at TRN early this afternoon. It truly took a village on this one and we want to thank Cathy and the PACC Pals team for bringing these girls to my attention so we could bring them to TRN and get to know and love them for the past few weeks. She and her sister arrived and met the girls, and of course S&T were their typical wonderful selves. Sandi even wound herself around their legs as only she can. If you know her, you know what that I’m talking about. I presented the foster paperwork and she said, “But I’m not fostering, I am adopting.” Not many leave me speechless, but I was for just a moment. She went on to explain that she was bringing them home together, as HER pups and that there would be no fostering. And so, amid some fresh tears of happiness, we moved forward with everything. As we talked, she explained that the previous fospice she had taken home, she had done through John, the co-founder of our rescue who passed earlier this year. Sweet Bella lived out her final six months on her ranch and she showed me a picture of Bella that brought tears to my eyes (there was a lot of that today). She told me she has been feeling recently that another dog was coming into her life, and so she opened herself up to what the Universe had in mind. And then it all made sense. It is why the plea I wrote last night wrote itself. It explained why I woke up at precisely the moment her email notification popped up on my phone and I felt lead to immediately open it. There are no coincidences, I truly believe that. We’re pretty sure their first mom, John and sweet Bella all had their hands/paws in on this one and are looking down together with smiles. So without further ado…I give to you the ADOPTION pictures and a few follow-up pics and comments from their new MOM since they arrived HOME this afternoon. She already has an appointment with her private veterinarian to see Ms. Sandi, and the girls have met the other dogs in the home and all is peaceful on the home front. Some things really are just meant to be.She has texted to let us know they are settled in already:”Went for a nice walk on leashes so they could get to know my other pups. Didn’t want to eat until my sister n I hand fed them little bites, so their stomachs are not empty. Now a little rest in Bella’s old bed.They are both sound asleep right now. Sandi quietly crept up on the bed by herself. Must have been something she did with her Mom.”Happy tears. Sweet life you two! And mom, thank you for opening your heart and home to these sweet souls.

Beorn-ADOPTED

We are SO excited to finally be able to announce this one! Drum roll please…Beorn has finally been adopted! He struck absolutel gold with his new family. We wished for him to find a family with someone who was home a lot, respectful kids and another dog. Well he hit the doggy jackpot! A couple of weekends back, his second foster didn’t work out. He was returned and our Director took him straight to meet this amazing new family. He never set foot back in PACC, and we couldn’t be happier! He met the kids and was instantly smitten (as were all of them!), he met his new mom and dad and fur brother–Dad and the resident dog he took some time to warm up to. But this family did everything right. They gave him time to settle in, worked with his nervousness and helped him to adjust to his new environment. He is over the moon happy to have kids in his life and his new fur brother and he are playing together and he is loving his new mom and dad almost as much as he loves the kids.It took a bit with this boy, including one foster, twice, a brief adoption, another foster (couple of days) and then he met these great people. Beorn, now Ollie, would like to thank everyone who gave him so much love while he was still a PACC and TRN pup–the staff and volutneers at PACC, Our TRN volunteers, and the different homes he briefly stopped in before he found his forever.Ollie, you’ll always be a TRN pup, and we couldn’t be happier for the family you chose! Ollie is our 320th adoption!

Abe-ADOPTED

Great news tonight! Adoption #315 goes to a very deserving old man…ABE! He hit the jackpot with a family who adopted another wonderful TRN pup about a year ago. They all met today and we are so happy to announce that tonight, he sleeps in his new home with his new fur sister and his wonderful new humans! Happ Tails, Abe! We will give Peaches some extra love for you, too. She already misses you, so fingers crossed that it’s her turn next!

Chita-ADOPTED

Princess-ADOPTED

Remember our sweet girl Princess? Well, we got great news yesterday that she was adopted at the shelter! We wish her the best and will surely miss her smiles and requests for belly rubs at the store with us.Happy life sweetheart, best wishes to you and your new family. The pictures are of her freedom ride and interacting with her new male fur sibling.

Audrey-ADOPTED

****UPDATE: This gorgeous pup was adopted today after she went back to the shelter this afternoon. Must have been the positive side effects of her spa day at TRN! 🙂 Good luck and happy life sweet girl!****

Thor-ADOPTED

Could you use some great news for your Wednesday night?Well, our TRN volutneer who is fostering Thor has decided to make it official! That beautiful boy is off the market, she will be finalizing his adoption this weekend.Congratulations to mom and Thor, we are beyond ecstatic for you both! Can’t think of a better outcome for this sweet gentle soul!#HappyTears #311

Bloomie (Blue) ADOPTED-

Adoption #310!…So one of our amazing volunteers fell in love with this boy during his time at TRN. So much so that she realized the idea that someone else might snatch him up did not work for her. So…SHE did! His adoption is all done and it is oficially official!Bloomie, now Blue, is settled into his new home and has a great mom and a fur sister that you’d think he grew up with. Such a happily ever after for him!Congratulations to all three of you!

DOOG-ADOPTED

Adoption #3!!! Finally, for the perfect trifecta, drum roll, please…DOOG has left the building! He found his new family today and while he is a nervous guy, his new parents are up for the challenge and his new brother and sister have given their approval. They know due to his nervousness, he is a possible flight risk, and they are well prepared to keep him safe as he learns he is secure and well-loved. We couldn’t be happier that he has found a new furry friend to play with and learn how to just be a silly confident boy. We sent him home with his two favorite toys, and as he left, he grabbed one last stolen toy on his way out. We are surely going to miss his goofy antics, but we are so thrilled to have been a part of his next chapter. As you can see in the pics, getting everyone to look in the same general direction at the same time was no small feat! They promise to send pics and video as he settles in, and we will most certainly share the updates as we receive them. It’s entirely possible that as he left today, our volunteers and staff shed some happy tears. It’s been an emotional day for a lot of reasons, but we couldn’t be more happy for these pups and their new families. Seems a fitting tribute for 9/11, a reminder to us all that life does indeed go on and there is still much joy to be found. We honor the past, while we celebrate the adventures that lie ahead.

ZOEY-ADOPTED

***Edited to add update: Please check out our update on the beautiful Zoey that was posted today. We will double up our efforts and we’re counting on all of you to help us by sharing her posts when she returns to TRN this week! Onwards and upwards, no looking back!***Adoption #2! Beautiful Ms. Zoey has found her forever family! They spent some quality time with a few of our deserving pups today, but we’re pretty sure in the end it was Zoey’s smile that won their hearts. So, so happy for this sweet girl, she has waited a while for her happily ever after and she picked a great family to be her forever. We are pretty sure she is going to be spoiled, and she has most certainly earned it!Best wishes to you all as you begin your new adventure together!

TANK-ADOPTED

First adoption this afternoon is the glorious Tank! His mom is new to Tucson and is so happy to have this big strong boy in her life. She said she feels like she is now part of a family here and we told her that she is, she’s officially a member of the TRN family! We are so happy for them and one of our most wonderful-est (yes, it IS a word) volunteers helped them to get home and settled today. She and her daughter Lexi will be enjoying life with our favorite big lug, Tank! Congratulations to you all!Happy trails to you; we can’t wait for updates as you begin your new life together!

Diva-ADOPTED

Diva is off on her grand adventure!She was adopted today and was so anxious to jump in the car with her new mom and dad! We tried to get pictures, but she couldn’t sit still in the store. We’re pretty sure she sensed this was different than her usual walks while at TRN. Congratulations to all three of you! We hope you have lots of fun together!For those keeping track at home, this makes #303!

Bloomy-ADOPTED

Tru-ADOPTED

Ralphy-ADOPTED

Caratini-ADOPTED

CARATINI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

He was adopted by a lovely couple who has previously adopted a little female chi from PACC. Their meet and greet went well, he will have a friendly little gal to teach him how to be a dog and that humans are great sources of yummy treats!This is #302! Happy life little man!

JR-ADOPTED

Well look who’s smiling now Isn’t this photo a contrast from the one I posted earlier of JR? That’s because he just got adopted and we are thrilled for him. This sweet boy deserves all the love in the world and now he’s going to get it. JR is our 301st adoption.

Kenzo-ADOPTED #300

Well the Hollywood script writers couldn’t have come up with this story line. It’s just so perfect. We are all convinced that this is John at work because he would have just loved this. Guess who worked his magic on his foster Mom and came in this evening to be adopted? The most deserving old warrior of them all. Yes Kenzo, now Kevin is our 300th adoption. We’ve had the champagne chilled and the banners stored away. We had the bakery ready with the special candles so we were all set to celebrate when the big 300 was reached. This one’s for you John

Iris & Icarus-ADOPTED

What a very special day. Do you remember the delightful lady who adopted Icarus? Her name is Stacey and she just adores the senior dogs. She particularly wants to help the dogs that have extra health problems like dear old Guero. Guero was one of the last remaining dogs at the sanctuary and a really sweet boy. Stacey set about building an extra ‘house’ for her dogs, complete with their own AC system! It’s pretty much completed now so she came in today to adopt Guero along with our other remaining sanctuary dog Iris. Here is Stacey with her Mom and Guero and Iris, getting ready to go to their perfect furever home. For those of you who are keeping track, that’s adoptions number 298 and 299!! So the next one’s the big 3-0-0!There are several people who have helped make this wonderful double adoption happen. Thank you to everyone involved with caring for the dogs while they were at the sanctuary, especially Holly for her countless hours of transport to and from Benson to the TRN store and Stesha & Jesse for caring for the dogs while they were in Benson. Stacey had invested a lot in the special accommodations for the dogs so several of our volunteers got together to cover the adoption costs and some medical costs. (yes we do have the best volunteers in the world. ) Thank you all so much. One particular person deserves a special mention and it’s another Stacey. This Stacey is our very own TRN Foster Coordinator, an unsung hero who works behind the scenes to coordinate these amazing connections.

That is adoption number 267 for TRN

Rocco-ADOPTED

There are times when this work can be incredibly sad, when we bring a beautiful dog to the store day after day and no one comes to adopt it and we watch the hope slowly fade from their eyes. And then there are days like yesterday when something happens that make it all so worthwhile.Rocco was surrendered to the shelter for euthanasia, there wasn’t anything wrong with him, he was just 15 years old. So the shelter decided not to euthanise him and we started bringing him to the store. A wonderful mother and daughter had just lost their two senior dogs and loved seniors so they adopted Rocco. Last week I did a post about Macura (Now called Lucky) she is a gorgeous dog that we had adopted out to an elderly gentleman about 18 months ago. It was a beautiful match and Macura/Lucky stayed by her owners side every hour of the day. Sadly her owner passed away and his family asked us if we could find a new home for her.You can see where this story is heading right? Rocco’s new Mom’s had said that they would like to get a friend for Rocco if the right dog came along, so we gave them a call. They came to the TRN store yesterday, Rocco and Macura walked up to each other, kissed noses and that was it. They are inseparable! Rocco and Macura had made the decision, they will be together for the rest of their days That’s our 266th adoption.
