ahhh....well I hope they are as well received in your home as they have been in mine! :)

Summer and her new life!!
 

I thought I should post here since so many of the people who saved Summer are in this thread and will see this update.

Summer is doing very well in her new home. As you all may recall, I wanted Summer to have a fur brother to play with because she so loved playing with my Armani. She was a bit rough on my girls. Took some time, but SO worth it!!! I received an email yesterday that warmed my heart and I asked her new mom if I could share it.....so here it is:

Summer and Yogi are playing really well together. The other day they were in my bedroom and they started batting at each other playfully. Then Yogi took off into the living room and came back with a toy and they started playing tug of war! I was so cute. I am glad Yogi has such an awesome play buddy. Takes some of the weight off me! Everybody that meets Summer just falls in love with her. She has such a Zen energy about her.


Here are some pics of Yogi and Summer:

Linda what a GREAT update on Summer. I am so glad she is loving her new forever home and her new brother.
Love, love the pictures.

Seeing Summer healthy and enjoying her new home and bother is wonderfully heartwarming.

Wow thanks for the update. I think of Summer often. Looks like a wonderful home And she looks amazing

Summer's story is the perfect example of what I look for when I place a pup. The most important thing to me in finding a home is finding one that is the right fit for the pup....you really have to take your time and evaluate a pup before trying to place him/her. Summer did so well with my male pups, but not so well with the females. So, I decided that she needed a home with a little brother to play with. It sometimes takes longer to place a pup this way, but in the end it is well worth it for everyone....most especially the pup. They don't need any more failures in their lives and, if we take our time, more often than not it will work out. If I had placed her in a home with female pups, it may not have worked out at all...and I know for a fact that Summer would not have been as happy as she is now.

She had one great application from a YTer but there was an alpha female in that home and it would not have worked for Summer since she was also alpha. The YTer totally understood that and actually withdrew her application when she read about Summer's issue with females.

This is why some people who are really great sometimes get turned down by rescue...if a rescue does what fits the pup, sometimes a great applicant wont be the right fit for the pup that caught their eye. We usually work with them to find another if that is what they want.
