Abby was a wonderful addition to our family. She was 7-years-old when we adopted her, and she made herself at home with us right away. Even though she was a tripod, she loved going to the dog park to chase balls. She would find a [...]

We were privileged to be Maile's (Maya) guardians for 13 years. We adopted her when she was 9 months old. Her foster mother called her the "White Tornado," she lived up to that nickname for the first year we had her and then she settled [...]
