New Beginnings Happy Endings

January 15, 2007 - Robbie

ps ~ April is now a New Beginnings rescuer who just placed her own first foster, Asha!

Hi -

Robbie was adopted this afternoon by April Deinken of Minneapolis.  He was a bit shy at first but warmed up and checked things out.  April was all prepared for him, and Robbie was especially delighted that she had sqeaky toys!  He is going to be well loved.

June 8, 2007 - Sasha

Sasha is adopted! Two weeks ago, I took Sasha to meet Stacey and Chad O. in Fargo, and they fell head over heels. Once Sasha was spayed, they became her proud new parents. I miss the little stinker but it certainly sounds as if she's in loving hands...and not too far to visit!

Note from Sasha's new mom, Stacey:
Hi! All is well here. Just took Sasha into Petco today to be groomed--she looks like a totally different dog! I miss her wild and crazy hair, but she really needed a summer cut!

We went to the lake this past weekend and Sasha absolutely LOVED it!!! She loves to ride on the pontoon and chase dragonflies around the yard. She is such a good little girl, even though she is spoiled already!

Stacey

Update: Sasha now has a new sister: Carley:

From Stacey:
Hi everyone! I have enclosed pictures of Carley, our newest addition to the family! Carley is a cairn terrier that we found at a rescue group in Detroit Lakes. She was brought there when the neighbors complained that there was a dog with puppies living outside. So she was rescued from the low-income household that had 12 other dogs (plus her 5 puppies!). I sure hope those other dogs found good homes too! Carley is a very friendly little wiggle-butt, and we are happy to have her living with us!

Sasha's not quite sure what to think yet, she's a little jealous that she has to share mommy's lap with a newbie. It might take a couple weeks, but I'm sure they will become fast friends!

10-22-07: Rosie

Hi everyone,

Rosie picked Judy M. of Midland, MI to be her forever mom. Rosie joins brother Spike (Shi-poo). Judy loved Rosie from afar...we've been conversing via email and I have sent her picture after picture. She was so sweet with Rosie today. Rosie was VERY timid...but I know she will come around. Judy had a brand new fluffy bed in her car for little Rosie. Judy had adopted another mill baby from Anty. Karma has since passed away and now Judy has her heart full of Rosie! The pics aren't great...the wind was wild!!

Update:

Hi Gina and Don,
    Little Rosie girl is doing great. The trip home was uneventful 
except for one incident when we were just about home, some dip
pulled out in front of us in a construction zone and I had to stop 
fast and poor little Rosie and her bed slid down under the dash.
I had to leave her there until I could get to a place where I could 
pull off, and then I picked her up and held her the rest of the way.
I know that is not recommended procedure, but she really liked it. 
Her little tail was whipping back and forth like crazy. Tonight
she sat on my lap for a long time while I talked with Roger and a 
friend who came over to meet her. She was so relaxed and just
laid her head on my leg and enjoyed being petted. I know she will be 
fine here.
    Thank you both so much for all you do. And thank you for Rosie - 
she's a honey.
Judy
p.s. She is lying on the carpet next to me while I do some computer 
stuff!

10-21-07: Dominick

Hi everyone,

Dominick is now in his forever home with Marie S. It was so fun to see him walk right in and make himself at home. She had new fluffy beds for him (3!), a basket full of toys, a beautiful harness and some good treats. She took him outside for a bit and he introduced himself to the neighbor dog (Bella, poodle). They'll need a little time to get used to each other!

So I'm a little sad...even though we were telling Dominick he was a bull in a china shop! But he just loves life and is so full of joy. Marie will be spending the day with her children and grandchildren outside with Dominick. I can't wait for updates.

9-28-2007: Catcher

That's right, Catcher is with his forever family! Cathy and her husband, Frank, couldn't be more sweeter. Mick and I pulled up beside them, and even before we could actually stop our vehicle, they were getting out of their car, trying to peek into our windows! You could hear Cathy asking Frank 'Do you see him, do you see him???'

I quickly called Joanne so she could be part of this, and handed the phone to Cathy even before I brought Catcher out to meet them.
Joanne is right, when she said Cathy was crying. She was instantly in love! Frank had the biggest smile, and tried to contain his excitement, but it wasn't long before they both showed how happy their were. (Like you wouldn't have noticed when they came out of their car!)
 
Cather greeted them, by standing on his hind legs, looking up at Cathy and giving her kisses.

  As soon as Joanne and Cathy ended their conversation, Catcher was in her arms, with Frank right beside them. Catcher nestled in, and gave a little.

All three of them just seemed to fit together, as if it had always been. It was truly amazing!

  It was also difficult to leave them. Again, Cathy and Frank are the nicest ppl ever. They are delightful, give you the impression of being old friends, and on and on and on! DELIGHTFUL!

Joanne - GREAT MATCH!!!

10-14-07: Tammy and Maxine

Special Note: Tammy and Maxine were beloved fosters of Nick and Robin Lloyd, NBSTR volunteers extraordinaire. Robin passed away unexpectedly in October of 2007, but we all continue to feel her presence in our rescue...her guiding spirit and loving support...and never more so than the wonderful adoption of these two girls that Robin sacrificed for in order to foster them in the first place.

The Anderson's could hardly wait for their 2 new pupsters to get up the driveway to their house. They were outside waiting for them with open arms and yummy treats.

Tammy and Maxine made themselves right at home and barely even acknowleded my presence. (sad for me, great for them! LOL) They will be treasured princesses. This was a placement from heaven, this is the perfect home for them.

Thanks again to Nick and our beloved Robin, who I know had a hand in this from above! The happy family picture is attached.

Oh ya and we got an extra $50 donation and a new transporter for that area. Doug would like to help any way he can!

9-26-07: Daisy

Hi Kaye,

    Here are some photos of your visit with Daisy.  Sandy wanted me to send you.  You will be happy to know that she is doing very well in her new home.  She is getting around like she has been here all her life.  When I got home from work today she ran right up to me to say hello.  It was a very special moment.  Thanks again for this wonderful gift.  Wally Sandy & Jen
