Just a note to say thanks again for all you've done in helping us meet and adopt Tuesday.  We think he's a great addition to our family.  He is smart and has a ton of personality.

Thor has become a big part (all 75 pounds) of our family. We decided to keep the name Thor for two reasons: 1) It was his original name and he responds better to it and, 2) Since Thor means "God of Thunder," ...

When we recently moved to Seattle, ...

I am so happy to say my wife and I are the proud new parents of a fabulous rescue. Rainy (formerly Amanda) is everything we could've asked for in a new family member.  When Rainy came into our world, it was like someone ...

We first saw Calvin in a plea sent out by AFF. I remember seeing this tiny white pup in a cage at the shelter, in danger of being euthanized. His neck was rubbed raw because his previous owners didn’t care enough ...

I wanted to share how honored we feel that AFF allowed us to become Beethoven’s forever home.

Beethoven truly is an incredible dog. He has been dubbed “everyone's best friend.”  He ...

When we initially called Animals First Foundation about fostering a cat, we had no idea we would fall so hard for our Sitka.  We planned on only fostering her for a couple of months, then adopting some kittens of ...

We can't begin to put into words how happy we are with the Hanz!!!

It is hard to believe it's only been a few months since he's come home. He has made tremendous strides with his timid nature and is growing ...

Hey, it's me, Ruby Dee. Just saying "Hi," and thanking you for the great home. Mom hasn't had Internet, so hasn't been able to send my note until now, but I am loving it here! I get to sleep on the bed and beg ...

Grommet is doing well.  We have started on his training and, he is listening better and mellowing out a bit.

We had some cute pictures and wanted to share them.

Patrick, Kim & Grommet the ...

Grommet is a wonderful addition to our family.  He plays hard and sleeps hard.

The pit bull biased reactions we were expecting, and get from people, are washed away as soon as they see how much he just wants ...

Linus is a stunning mix of Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd.  How someone could have kept this friendly, beautiful and loving dog tethered constantly and never allowed in the house or played with is a mystery.

It seems like Lucy has been part of our family forever - but it's really only been a few months. As our older dog Grendel started to show real signs of aging, we decided it was time to add another dog to the family, both ...

We lost our beloved 13 year old lab in March 2007.  We started talking about adopting another dog in the hopes that it would help us not miss Angus so much.  We weren't sure if we were ready, but I put the word ...

Every morning I wake up, and I'm pleasantly reminded that Noah is a permanent part of my family. He is either snuggled up against me, or he's licking my face telling me, "Hey!  We're hungry! Is 5:30am too early?" ...
