Yanni

Hi Kathy! I'm so glad you reached out and I'm more than happy to give you a puppy update! "Yanni" now "Dodger" has been an amazing addition to our family. I have always rescued young adult dogs but this was my first time rescuing a puppy. I had no idea what I was getting myself into and very was nervous at the beginning. This experience has been just wonderful. Dodger is such an great boy, I now couldn't imagine our family without him. Dodger's foster mother Michelle was great and told us everything about his personality before we took him home. I wanted to make sure he would fit in well with my other dogs. She gave me tons of tips on how to take care of a puppy and even assured me that if it didn't work out she would take him back. I texted her in the beginning a lot and she was always there with kind word and helpful advice. I was very impressed with the food she had him on. I have always fed my dogs top of the line food and couldn't believe he was being fed high quality, grain free food in his foster home. I did not expect this as I assumed most rescues don't have the resources. I thought this was a great thing to give this baby a healthy start to his life. Dodger's follow up exams at Justin Bartlett Animal Hospital have also been wonderful. The entire staff have been loving and helpful to me, my son and most importantly Dodger. The doctors have all given me advice on how to continue to care for him and have been patient when I ask lots of questions. Not to mention their prices are at least half if not more of what other vets charge! I will be taking all three of my dogs there from now on. As for Dodger, all I can say is he's an amazing soul and a wonderful puppy. I keep thinking I must have some really good rescue dog karma because the universe gave me the sweetest, best puppy ever created. He loved his new home and his new family right from the beginning. He annoys his big brother Koda and his sister Kiyah but they quickly accepted him into our pack. He loves his big yard, rolling in the grass and sleeping next to his mommy in bed. He is extremely loving and affectionate, loves toys and bones and most of all playing with his two legged brother Ryder. His favorite thing so far has been going hiking on trails in the woods off the leash with his family. I can't thank you enough for rescuing this baby at four days old and giving him a loving, healthy start to his life. I'm thankful I had enough room in my heart to give another beautiful dog a loving home. I did not plan on getting a puppy and I certainly did not need a third dog. What I didn't realize was that we all needed Dodger and more importantly he needed us. Thank you for giving us this sweet, beautiful soul to share our world with. All of our love, Angie, Ryder, Doger, Kiyah and Koda
