We adopted Millie (Lollie), a black lab mix, from Adopt-a-Pet in September 2009 when she was about 4 months old. We had been looking for a bit older dog but Millie had the best personality and we just knew she was "the one". She fit into our family perfectly. She loves to ride in the car, play in the snow and catch Frisbees. In early 2011, we decided Millie needed a doggie friend and started looking at the Adopt-a-Pet website for another dog. When our family and Millie visited with an adorable, brown, curly-haired puppy, we again knew we had found our second dog. Roger (Reese), a Chesapeake/Golden mix, is a great addition to our family. He has a mellow personality and gets along with Millie great. We are so happy to have Millie and Roger in our family and we are very grateful to all the wonderful and dedicated people at Adopt-a-Pet for their assistance. Adopt-a-Pet is the best!
thank you!!!

We adopted Tanner just a little over a year ago. When he first came to us he was afraid of all men, and was very shy. He now LOVES EVERYONE he comes in contact with, loves going for walks, being outdoors, chewing on any toy(or sock), and he LOVES to cuddle. Tanner is one of the most loveable, well-behaved dogs I have ever had. My husband and I are so happy that we decided to adopt him, and love having him part of our family!

I am sooooo happy in my new home! Please spread the news! I wish more people would adopt pets just like me. There are lots of pets waiting for good homes where we can feel safe and loved. Puppies don't belong on the streets looking for food and shelter. My mom lets me snuggle in close to her at night. I feel so safe now! She takes me on walks, for rides to the DQ for a bit of ice cream, and plays ball with me. I love to chase rabbits and birds, and I love to try to catch fish. My mom brushes my curly ears, brushes my teeth, gives me warm showers...but most of all she just loves me! I'm so glad she picked me!

We adopted Jack shortly after putting my dog of 14 1/2 years down. Jack helped fill a hole that was left. Jack is quite the energetic little dog. He was so happy to realize that we have a large yard for him to run in, and he LOVES to run! We fell in love with this little guy pretty quickly and the feeling seems mutual. We added one more rescue dog 5 months after getting Jack, and these 2 have definately become brothers. Not only do they have the same markings and coloring, they pick on each other as only brothers do, yet love each other as only brothers can. I wouldn't trade either of these boys in for anything. Thank you so much for bringing Jack into our lives and opening our eyes to the beauty of helping a rescue dog!

We adopted Emma in January of 2009. Even though she's missing an eye, she gets around like any other dog. She's queen of the house and even went on a family vacation to California. Here are pictures of her on vacation and with Willy and Chey, two other Adopt-A-Pet friends. Willy lives with our daughter in California, she was adopted 6 years ago and Chey lives in Moorhead. Emma has been a great addition to our family.

We adopted Charlie when he was about 7 months old. He was very shy and extremely submissive at first, especially around males. Over the past three months he has become increasingly comfortable with males he has met several times and continues to improve around strangers. He is such a sweetheart, he loves to give kisses and cuddle on the couch. He has become the perfect playmate for our 1 year old beagle. They immediately took to each other and have become best friends. He loves to chew on bones, play in the backyard with Ace, our Beagle, and cuddle on the couch. He is quite the gentleman and everyone who meets him instantly falls in love, his nickname is Mister because he is just so sweet and gentle. Charlie had a problem with submissive urination when he first came to us and has continuously improved over the past several months. We absolutely adore him and he was the perfect addition to our family. He is extremely loyal and protective of me and follows me almost everywhere I go. I’m so glad that we took the time to find a dog that would fit our lifestyle because Charlie is a perfect fit. He had brought a lot of joy to our lives over the past three months and I couldn’t imagine our family without him now. Thank you so much for bringing Charlie into our life, we love him very much.
