Our dearest Aiko (Alice) came into our lives in March 2013 as a puppy, but she grew up fast! Aiko in Japanese means “little loved one,” and that is exactly what she is to anyone who meets her. She has brought nothing but happiness to us since the first day we met. She is the… Read more »

We’ve named our new family member Charlie, and he is great!  He’s very sweet, is doing great with crate training and potty training, and is a lot of fun. He follows me around constantly… he’s always aware of his humans!   This is the photo of Charlie that we included in our Christmas card this year… Read more »

Things are going really well with our new puppy. We named her Skye. She gets really excited for food and can’t calm down when she knows it’s coming. With her sharp claws it’s been an issue, but we keep working on it and hope she realizes soon that no one is going to take it… Read more »

I adopted Eddie on August 1, 2013. He is an older dog and had been overlooked for adoption for about 4 months. I saw his picture online and fell in love with him right away. I called and asked about him and was told that he pulls on his leash but is very sweet. I… Read more »

Gamble is doing fantastic. We actually changed his name to Dexter. His tail has not stopped moving. He has no issues eating or sleeping. He will sleep both in his crate and the bed but prefers to sleep in the bed with me and I have no issue with that. We have had very few… Read more »

I adopted Sammy after losing my Sahara of 15 years who was also adopted from NEAS. Sammy is a crazy little Boxer that is constantly on the go, 150 MPH at all times. My Mom suffers from Alzheimer’s.  Here is Sammy with her.  When it comes to Mom, he knows exactly where he belongs!

We adopted Mishka (formally Parcha) this past February 2013. She was the sweetest most friendly dog ever! And she continues to be, the moment she met us she was jumping up and so excited to be considered for a forever home. We asked her, are you our puppy? and she immediately gave us a big… Read more »

My family which includes 7 children were home during the last snow storm of 2013 in March and everyone was getting a bit claustrophobic. We decided to head to the animal shelter and see who “new” had arrived. We had been looking on line but lets be honest, not many people want to allow a… Read more »
