This is sweet Millie who was found on one of our volunteer's friend's farm in AL. Millie is making her home with Joseph and Michele.

Joseph tells us that sweet Millie is a tough little girl as she had to be in order to survive in the wild. Joseph says that Millie seems very happy now and fairly well adjusted to city life. She still does not like motorcycle sounds, and gets scared when she hears them.

Millie does not like the cold weather (glad spring is coming) but she thinks that the snow is cool and edible. She has put on some weight as her ribs no longer show so prominently .

They have been doing some training with her, which she likes because Millie loves getting treats, She is a Velcro dog as she follows them around where ever they go at home. She loves to curl up beside them and sleep. It took several days before they heard her bark, and it is the sweetest, softest hoarse little bark. It is rare that she does bark. She loves her toys and brings them into the living room and works diligently on them and she especially loves treat dispensing toys.

Michele and Joe just love Millie and they think she is realizing that she is in her forever home.

Such a great update on Millie! Millie so deserves this!

This is handsome Remy who was found by a kind lady in Louisiana. She kept Remy in her home during his shelter home. Although no one came to claim Remy he has a wonderful new home with Kimberly and Thomas.

Kim tells us that Remy is doing wonderfully. They feel like Remy has always been a part of their family forever! They love him so much even when he is a total devil!!! He is lucky he is so cute!

Remy has adapted to his new routine, he is eating and sleeping well. Especially the eating part! They have been working with a trainer since they adopted him, which has been a great resource for them. He has mastered sit, lie down, crate, paw and wait! They are still working on "leave it" with other dogs and squirrels. He is a quite excitable little puppy who likes to jump up off all four legs into the air. It is quite something, their trainer is wondering if he has a smidge of a border collie in his genetics?

He is crate trained and often sleeps in his crate for his naps, and also overnight with the door open so he can move around their room. They leave him in the crate when they have to leave him alone, which he still does not love. He mostly just sits and stares while they are gone with an occasional sad little howl(which they were able to see on the Furbo). Poor Remy! They hope the more they practice leaving him alone for a bit and coming back so that he learns that we will always come back for him.

He absolutely loves to play, especially with other dog. He does need to learn some playing manners. Kim said she does not think Remy learns how big he is! He is a bit of an oaf - ha ha! He barks as he is wary of tall men and they are working on that also, but Remy does not know that!

They could not be happier to have Remy as part of their little family and cannot thank SGRR enough for bringing him to them.

Love the picture of Remy holding his brush!

Happy life to Remy!

This beauty is Koda who lived with his former family since he was a puppy. His Mom and Dad moved to the Northwest and left Koda in the care of his grandparents, and they realized that Koda needed more activity than they could give him.

Koda has a wonderful new home with Gary and Barbara. Gary tells us that Koda is doing fine, and he eats very well and is always looking for food, which sometimes includes "counter surfing" which they are working on.

Koda is active, but with the weather and snow they are not in the backyard too much, although he loves the snow and tries to take the shovel away from Gary while he is shoveling the driveway.... he has to constantly play. As he was from the Mobile area it is likely Koda did not see much snow, at least not this amount!

They are still kind of keeping Koda quiet after his heartworm treatment. With the weather getting a little nicer, they walk a few miles everyday and does not go crazy upon seeing other dogs. He is well behaved in this sense and knows the immediate neighborhood. He is strong and loves tug of war with anything! Gary said he will have to change this but with the COVID and working from home on his laptop, sometimes he has no choice than to play tug of war with his left hand.

Happy life to Koda!

Another beautiful/handsome dog. This is Ranger who was found wandering just as Hurricane Sally was about to strike land in AL. A kind woman found Ranger and kept him safe until a foster home was found for him. Although no one came looking for Ranger he has a wonderful new home with Linda and Ben.

Linda tells us that Ranger is doing great!  He loves everyone and is a very loved member of their family, It took him a few weeks to settle in, as he was just perpetually excited! But now he has calmed down and is truly a good boy.

Ranger has completed his basic obedience training and learns very quickly. He loves to go for walks and loves cuddles on the couch while chewing one of his bully sticks. He still likes to go in his crate when he needs a nap!

He has gained ten pounds and a couple of inches. They had his DNA tested and learned that while he looks like a golden he is actually part lab and part grand Pyrenees.

They are grateful to everyone at SGRR for helping to make Ranger a member of their family!

Happy life to Ranger, he looks quite comfortable!

How handsome is Bodhi, Bodhi (fka Sparky) who was brought to an animal shelter in Watumpka, AL. Bodhi is making his forever home with Steve and both Steve and Bodhi are very happy!

Steve tells us that Bodhi is doing very well! He is shy with people, loves the dog park, has great behavior, he sometimes barks but he is getting better as they are working on it.

He is healthy, he eats well and enjoys his treats. Steve is hoping for a companion for Bodhi maybe in a couple of months!

Happy life to Bodhi, he deserves it!

This beauty is Zoie who was very loved in her previous home but sadly her former owner could no longer afford her care. Zoie is in her forever home with Patricia who loves her very much!

Patricia tells us that Zoie is doing great! She loves everyone including Patricia's grand dog. Zoie is doing much better in not jumping up and Patricia tells people to turn their back on them if she tries.

Zoie has settled in very well. Her leash skills need some work as she is very strong and pulls but Patricia said that they will get there! Zoie loves Pat's grandson who comes over to slide down her hill in the snow and Zoie runs after him and chases him down the hill, it is hilarious to watch!

Zoie is very active and she loves her bed and all her toys. 

Happy life to Zoie, and good job to Pat for working on her training!

This is Henry FKA Ralphie who ended up as a stray at the Mobile County Animal Shelter, and although no one came to claim Henry he has a wonderful new home with Colleen, Dennis, their family and Boba FKA SGRR Nova!

Henry has did not have an easy early life, he is undergoing heartworm treatment. When they did x-rays they found multiple buckshots and bb's embedded into his tissue. There are too many and too deep, although he seems unaffected by them. Colleen says it gives her insight into his previous life as a stray. 

When they first got him he was toy and food possessive, but now she would say he is much better with training and those behaviors are almost completely eliminated, and he is very responsive to training.

Henry is great with Boba and their cats. Henry and Boba are almost always together. When she took Henry to the vet  Boba laid by the backdoor until they get home. Boba is a very laid back dog and very calming for Henry. Colleen cannot get over how smart Henry is. He is very quick on learning commands and very easy to train. He is a pro on their walks and hikes. He safely learned all the safety rules that Colleen trained him on safe leash walking!

They are keeping him quiet now with chew toys until he can go on runs with them!

These two are just adorable! Henry deserves the best loving home and we think he has found it!

This is Cooper FKA Big Al, who had been seen on the highway for a couple of weeks in Alabama. One day he was hit by a car (not seriously), the woman who hit him stayed with him until she got help. They think Cooper was dumped in that area and was waiting for his owner to come back and get home. Well Cooper has a wonderful new forever home with Elena and Carl and they just love him!

Elena and Carl tell us that Cooper has been a wonderful addition to their home and family! Cooper has the best disposition of any dog they have ever seen. He is loving, playful and very friendly. Everyone that comes to meet Cooper are amazed with his good nature and his striking good looks.

When they go to Pet Smart the people there say that Cooper is most handsome dog that comes in!

Happy life to Cooper, you deserve the best life!

How cute is Bauer! Bauer was displaced in rural Louisiana during Hurricane Sally, and although no one came to claim Bauer, he has a wonderful new home with Tristan, Brenda and Jeff and living in Massachusetts.

Tristan tells us that Bauer is doing amazing. He is eating well and he is behaving much better when they first got him. They cannot believe someone would abandon him because he has been such a good boy for them. He gets along great with Kopitar(their other dog) and they love to run around and chase each other in the backyard!

They have been training Bauer in their own home and Bauer picks up on things very quickly. They plan on taking both dogs to training in the spring. Bauer loves going on walks and does really good on the leash until he sees a squirrel. He is every energetic and runs laps in the backyard multiple times per day to get his energy out!

They are so happy that Bauer has become part of their family!

Happy life to Bauer, he looks so happy!

​How happy does Chloe look! Chloe was picked up as a stray in Alabama and although no one came to claim her she has a fabulous new home with Joe and family and living in Massachusetts.

Joe tells us that simply Chloe is doing great! She is very healthy, well behaved and most importantly a great addition to their family. She has added to her group of friends and loves to chase them around the yard. Their next door neighbor stops by most days to say hello!

Joe and Chloe go for a 3-4 mile walk most days and Chloe has many friends along the path that she says hello to.

Chloe also has converted two people who were self proclaimed cat people, and afraid of dogs into true friends. One quote from one of them, "I was always afraid of dogs but she is so sweet and gentle". How nice is that, good girl Chloe!!!!

Chloe is a grazer for good, which is different for them as their other dogs would finish their bowl as soon as they would put it down, Chloe picks through it through out the day and the vet says she is very healthy!

They could not be any happier with her, and she seems to be very happy with them also! Joe would also like to thank everyone at SGRR for what we do!

Happy life to Chloe, she looks so happy! The last picture is of Chloe and her friend Cooper! So cute!!
