Update On Bandit (aka Mozzie)

Update on our little boy Bandit, he came to us on this great day on May 7th of 2011 formally known to PUP as Mozzie. We just wanted everyone to know that he has made him self right at home here with us. He is our very spoiled boy who always sleeps under the covers on his back. He is a very smart boy who was trained very well before he came here but he did make a couple Oops on the floor but does great now. As you can tell by the pictures he loves his toys, he brings one to bed every night. All of us in the Okerson family want to say thank you to PUP for helping us find our baby boy and for all the time and help you give.

Thank you again from
Bandit, Brian and Kelsey Okerson

Dioge (formerly Cricket)

When we met Dioge at Petco we kinda knew we loved her and wanted to adopt her, but she needed to meet my husband to make sure all of us loved her. We went back to Petco the next day and without a doubt all of us LOVED her. She fits right in with the family and she loved by all that meet her. She is great with our girls and other dogs. She is sweet and non-aggressive. She is a runner, a sleeper and loves belly rubs!
It's only been 2 weeks, but we already know she is with us forever. We can't thank PUP enough for bring her to us. She is the best dog ever!!!

Ted (formerly Jake) update

We adopted Ted (formerly Jake) back in 2009. I love him so much and he is doing quite well. He loves his 'ice cream' and reminds us if we forget to get it after dinner. Ted is the perfect dog and I cannot thank PUP enough for all the work they do.
Sincerely, Jeff & Kari Nipert

Ranger On Course

Ranger (adopted last April) and I have been having so much fun! I was looking for an activity to channel his energy and intelligence and agility seemed a good fit. We started classes last September and his first trial was this June. He has been in three NADAC Agility Trials and qualified three times - once in Hoopers and twice in Jumpers. He has a blast on course and does a happy leap in the air as the spirit moves him.

Many Novice dogs and many small dogs are initially uncomfortable working at a distance from the handler, but Ranger is quite willing to get out there and work away from me. This works out well, since he can move so much faster than I can! Currently we are working on his distance commands and obstacle discrimination so he can do more while I do less. This little guy is a perfect dog for a beginning agility handler - he makes me look good!

Thanks so much for bringing us this special dog!

Raymond (formerly Luigi)

Raymond is flourishing! He has been with us just over a year. He is so happy and healthy. He LOVES to go for long walks, and recently finished a 7 mile hike -- with energy to spare! He is fit and fun and incredibly snuggly. What a sweetheart. We love Ray. Here he is on his deck, enjoying the sunshine.

Wally

I had begun to think about adopting a small dog earlier this year. I have a 37 year-old Amazon parrot (Beaver) who loves dogs, but had not found the right candidate. That is, until I clicked on a news article for PUPS and then visited their website. When I read about Gandolf (now known as Wally), it was all over. I filled out the application form right then and there. I shared his photos with coworkers and friends.

When I finally met Wally, he was a bit nervous and so was I, but I knew it was a good fit. When we got home, it was like he had lived there all his life! The bird was thrilled, and I ended the first day with Wally asleep on my lap and the bird on my shoulder.

Thank you, Pups, for providing the platform for adoption. Wally, Beave, and I are forever grateful!
