Apollo just turned 4- we adopted him 2 years ago and just love him! He is a big goober who loves to snuggle, go for walks, guard the house, and heard the cats. He favorite thing to do is sneak into bed after I have gotten up and spoon with his Daddy.
It’s been a blessing to give this amazing companion, and our families best friend a second chance at life.
In June 2009 I was lucky enough to have Addie, now Shelby, come into my world. She was a very underweight adult female who was rescued from a flea market in South Carolina. She and her 2 puppy’s were brought to WI and Shelby became part of our family. She is now a happy and healthy dog who loves sleeping on her bed, playing in the sprinkler during the summer, and being the best companion I could ask for. I can’t thank White Paws enough for Shelby.
Mallie has had the good fortune of finding her Furever home with a wonderful family.
Nakoya is the most loving, most well behaved, sweetest dog in the universe. I love her more than oxygen. She is my soulmate.
Koda has been with me for about a year and a half. She is such a love bug and is so silly! Not a day goes by that she doesn’t make me laugh! She loves toys and especially tennis balls. She also likes to watch for squirrels in the backyard.
Cadence (formerly Lacy) came to White Paws with her brother Dusty. Cadence’s foster fell through so I offered to watch her for a week or two until another foster could be found. When I picked this little lady up off her transport, I immediately knew…she would never leave me. She is an amazing little girl, very smart and willing to learn. She is a loyal companion and accompanies me to work every day. She has been with me for over a year now and it is hard to imagine a single day without her. Thank you White Paws for helping yet another dream come true and bringing my companion to me.
Holly (aka Polly) came into our lives last July, after our old GSD crossed the rainbow bridge. Holly was very shy when we got her, but she is coming out of her shell nicely. She has been through both beginning and advanced obedience classes, and she earned her Canine Good Citizen last week. Holly loves long walks on the golf course, chicken, and sleeping on the bed. She is the perfect dog for us, and we are so grateful that she came into our lives.
In August of 2013, Phil and I fell in love with an 8 month old White German Shepherd named “Xander”. We picked him up, in Chicago, and drove him back home to our Indiana home. From the very first minute, he met us…in our minds (and to this day….he is PERFECT). Phil and I had lived in Hawaii for many years. There is a Hawaiian word, “pono”. “Pono” means “do the right thing” or “righteousness”. Xander fit that definition ideally and thus, we changed his name. (He didn’t seem to mind). After 18 months, Phil and I needed to move to Los Angeles for 5 years (2 1/2 remaining). The trip across country was a blast! Pono shared our SUV with us (his “two-leggers” and his cousins….two scarlet macaws, “Hakuna and Matata”. We resembled Noah’s Arc! Pono loves L.A. He enjoys the beach and ocean as well as his Agility Classes and an occasional “Dog Camp Day”. Our neighbors LOVE him…he is always so happy and adores every living thing. My husband and I frequently say, “How did we get so lucky to find “Pono”–we don’t have the answer to that but we are forever grateful!
This is a sequel…in July of 2016, we adopted Holly (the white shepherd) from White Paws. She was very, very shy, and we knew it would take some time for her to come out of her shell. In the past year, she has completed beginning, advanced, and advanced two obedience, and she has earned her Canine Good Citizen. She was (is) so wonderful, we decided we had room in our homes and hearts for a sister. Enter Layla – a virtually all-black GSD mix from Texas. Layla had recently weaned her puppies, and was looking for a forever home. We started her in obedience shortly after she came to us, and last night she graduated from beginner class with a score of 196/200 – only one point away from first place. She is a wonderful dog with a great sense of humor, and she has helped Holly with her shyness. They are great friends, and we feel so fortunate to have them in our lives. They have been to the coffee shop and to the farmer’s market, and we look forward to beginning Layla’s obedience training in the very near future. White Paws dogs are just the best!
