Tristan

It was over 5 years ago, on August 13, 2011, that we purchased Cody (alias Tristan) from Good Karma Rescue. He was about 1 1/2 years old at the time. Kentucky bred. We were looking for a "Collie" and had another one of your dogs in mind but that dog was in the process of being adopted so you asked us if we would consider Tristan. We are very happy you did! Attached are a few recent pictures. He is the most wonderful dog. He has been very healthy. Gets a lot of attention from folks wherever we go. People ask, "What is he?" We usually have to explain that, yes, while he looks like a border collie, his size (about 90 lbs) comes from the Great Pyrenees side. Cody seems to possess the best traits of both breeds. He has been exposed to the woods extensively since he came home with us. On our walks he is alert to anything he detects, stopping to observe with his eyes after hearing or smelling something--he usually draws my own attention to what he is observing. Cody also loves to travel with us in the car, reacting happily, and quietly, to the sight of other dogs and children. He barks only when something truly needs to be barked at. Very intelligent. We've owned many dogs--he ranks near the top in intelligence. There is a bit of independence, what you might call stubbornness, in him in that he is not the quickest dog to want to respond to a command as quickly as we would like. But that's just part of his innate personality that we find endearing (most of the time). He appreciates all the love and attention we give him and he seeks that from us a lot. We couldn't be more pleased and we like to tell people he's a rescue dog and where we got him whenever that opportunity arises.

Trixie

Just wanted to say hello and let you know our sweet baby girl is still doing wonderfully. She is very curious, loves long walks, and playing at the doggie park. She is healthy and happy, and weighs in at 84lbs. We just celebrated her 5th birthday.

Tara

Here is little miss Nixie on Christmas morning - a year ago she was Tara and brand-new to us - it's been quite a year and she's quite a girl!

Tabitha

It's been a little over one year since we adopted Mayzie (formerly Tabitha) and we could not be happier. She is such a fun, loving, goofy & smart dog. She loves going for walks and hikes, car rides, playing with her friends at doggie daycare, visiting work and especially loves her toys. She still plays with the blue tennis ball you gave us the day we brought her home; it may just be her favorite. She has grown quite a bit, now 60lbs. She successfully completed a training course shortly after we got her and she continues to impress us with her learning skills. She has a few tricks and does great both on and off leash. She is so well behaved and is a show stopper when we are out and about. We are always getting asked what kind of dog she is, where we got her from and mostly if they can pet her. Once they do we always hear how soft she is! She has brought us such joy, we couldn't imagine not having her in our lives. Thanks to you, Peggy and everyone involved in rescuing her so we could give her the life she deserves! Best of luck to you in future adoptions - keep up the good work!

Trixie

Trixie and I are enjoying hikes around Indian Brook! She loves being off leash and is giddy with excitement, exploring off trail but then comes right back when I give "her" whistle! We love her so much it's hard to think of what life would be without her. Thank you and Chris and Tammy, and all the volunteers that make adopting rescues possible!
