I wanted to let everyone know how much we appreciated all the help, patience and kindness we received when adopting Anubis (right) and Avalon (left). We came in every day for three days before finalizing our decision in July 2005.

"Welches" was the name of the eight-week old male lab mix we adopted, now known as Anubis. He has SO much energy; it's sometimes hard to keep up with him. He’s a character, I tell ya. He loves antagonizing his sister, especially when they are playing outside. He will lay low to the ground, creeping slowly and then pounce on her when he thinks she isn't looking. It's quite a sight!

They both seem to be enjoying their new home, and are playing with each other just as siblings do. We even have to get after them occasionally. I'm not sure what it is about youngsters and the "mine" game... but these two play it regularly... especially with a stick or their chew sticks.

They are now sitting, laying and staying. They are doing very well... ok, pretty well. Anubis seems to be taking to it a little better than Avalon. They are also almost housebroken... what a task!

I must say we are VERY happy with our decision, and the service we received from everyone we came into contact with at the shelter. Please, please keep up the awesome work you are doing!

From our family
(Alex, Joy, James, Michael, Avalon, and Anubis)
to yours...Thank You!!!
