Maddee

Our sweet and lovable Maddee has found her Forever Family! Maddee has won everyone’s heart who has met her! The pilot who flew her from Va to NJ, Donna, who helped me out with Maddee when she first arrived, Vet office staff in both Vets she visited, groomers as well and any family and friends who met her could not help want to hold her, love her and pamper her. Maddee is not only a beautiful pup, but has the sweetest disposition and deserves the best family. She is also such a resilient dog. She has had 3 major surgeries (her 2 ears and a spay with cyst removal) in 5 months! Maddee spent 6 months in our home, and we loved every minute of it!! Maddee had so many applications! Sarah and Kate first applied to SAYR back in Summer 2023. They wanted Maddee but weren’t complete in the process yet. But, as luck would have it Maddee went into heat and her spay surgery had to wait. So, Sarah and Kate chose to wait all these months for Maddee. I am so glad they made this decision because they are wonderful pet parents! They have Paisley, an 8 year old Yorkie who they treat like a princess! Both gals work from home so Maddee will enjoy their attention all day long! Maddee and Paisley get along well and they live a few towns away from us, so they invited us to visit them anytime. We have been connected now for months sending pictures back and forth and hoping the dogs would get along well, and they do! We will love and miss Maddee forever but we are so happy Sarah and Kate will be giving her such a Wonderful Life and we will be visiting. Congratulations Maddee!!!

Hank

Hank is officially ours! We fell in love with him his very first day as a foster with us. It is like he had been here his whole life. Or at least it felt like he was waiting to be here his whole life. He is such a happy dog and we felt that it would have been unfair to him to continue the adoption process. He loves all the other dogs in the house and truly loves it here. We could not separate him from all his new friends and all the fun that he has been having since he arrived here. Hank is here to stay! Welcome aboard Hank! Congratulations Hank!!!

CeCe

I had fostered CeCe since right after Thanksgiving, 2023. She was my very first foster – and I failed! Cece was very shy, skittish, and hid under the bed. It took 2 weeks for her to come out from under the bed for me and required a highly valued treat! In the third week she would not let me out of her sight. I was so honored that she began to trust me! And it has only gotten better. I am her person, and she is mine. She has started to play a little, and she now will eat in front of me! She keeps improving every day. I could not let her go! I am very thankful to SAY for allowing me to foster her and adopt her. She brings me so much joy everyday! Congratulations CeCe!!!

Gentleman George

On Sunday, January 14,2024, Georgie had his Meet and Greet . God put Victoria and Michael in my life so George would have the PERFECT HOME, bUT, he also knew we would all become best friends! We have a Havanese named Sadie, and so do they. How perfect ! Georgie brought Sadie all his toys and Sadie had lots of toys with her too! They ran, played and sniffed. Of course, Victoria, the perfect pup mom she is, brought lunch! Quiche, salad, and I had blueberry banana bread! It was a perfect day, full of PLAYING, LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND TEARS!!! TOO MANY TEARS!!!! George was with us almost 4 months! My love for him will always be there. And to remember his love, they gave me a special bracelet that has in Morriscode-thanks for loving him Gratitude! George is adapting well, misses us, has my shirt I wore for a month, that I gave him, in his crate. We can visit him anytime, and we all are planning to see each other regularly. George will have a PERFECT, LOVING LIFE, now, just like I gave him as his foster mom. My heart is breaking missing him but he is so LOVED, and always will be with Michael and Victoria! You're in my daily prayers Georgie!

Bonnie

Our sweet little Bonnie has been officially adopted on Monday by the wonderful Paula and Curt. Paula contacted us even before they were approved while they were going thru the approval process. Tom and I had come to love Bonnie so much and knew how truly special she was. Paula asked all the right questions and had all the right answers to my questions and they embodied the family we knew would be the right fit for her. It was made official once they were approved. It was hard for them to wait until Bonnie could go to her new home due to her going into heat and then waiting for her to be spayed, but they realized Bonnie was the one and patiently waited until she was ready. Bittersweet is the perfect word for when you foster leaves with their new family, but Paula keeps me updated on her progress and I have to say she is doing great! At this time she has no furry siblings so she has both their undivided attention. They both are interested in several aspects of volunteering with SAYR, so hopefully our paths may cross again. A final note, they are going to call her Princess Bonnie, it is the name she is most comfortable with and answers to. Congratulations Princess Bonnie!!!
