     Once again, Rescue Me to the rescue!!! Because of this wonderful site we found a great home for our little guy Ike. He was so shy and timid, and after many replies to his post he was matched up with a wonderful couple that had experience with dogs and will give him a very loving, safe and active life! Thank you for helping this poor little boy find a home!!!

     Thanks for all the replies asking about the female black lab. She was adopted by a family in the next town. A single Mom and her teenage son. The dog and boy took to each other instantly. I have since heard from them via email, and she has a new name and sleeps next to the boy. The match was perfect for the dog and family. I miss having her terribly, but we travel twice a year for over a thousand miles each way, a third dog would not be accepted at the hotels we stay.

     Junior Mints, just a magnificent dog, came in as a stray! We do not know how this happened. He was well cared for, and someone spent a lot of time with him. But no one ever came forward. The Josephine County Animal Shelter in Merlin Oregon had people lined up for him... the Coleman family from St. Paul Oregon were the lucky ones! As they said in a follow up 'He is all that you promised and more. We love, love him, and our children are Cross Track runners and he seems eager to join.' Thank you Rescue Me! for this invaluable resource! Our transport volunteer that met them in Eugene noted she'd never seen a more happy adoption! It was love at first sight!

     Little Mama found her forever home today! She will be with a family who has three kids and a Lab brother! So glad we had found the Rescue Me! site. We have, as of today, successfully rescued and found homes for nine doggies this year! What amazing results I have had since someone had told me about your site. I would have a yard full of dogs without it! Thank you, Rescue Me!

     A great lady named Sally went out of her way to meet Valy. She fell in love, and is now the new mommy for her. Rescue Me! was the first rescue website she looked at; she saw Valy, not even a picture, but she knew she had to have her. Now Valy even has her own Tempur-Pedic mattress, and she loves her new home. Thanks for working your magic, Rescue Me! Thanks, Sally, for being a wonderful new mom!

     I Want to say thank you to everybody who helped to save this sweet dog!! I fostered Hanna after she was found in a highway... I always had the hope that one day her perfect family will show up at the door. The time was passing by and for personal reasons I was not going to be able to foster Hanna any longer... Then, a beautiful young couple with a 13-year old son sent me an e-mail and also called to make sure that I received the e-mail; they wanted to meet Hanna as soon as possible. They previously had a blond labrador that passed away, and they thought it was time to adopt another rescue dog. They are the kind of people that everybody would love, responsible animal lovers that adopt not shop. They came to my house and interacted with her for about 40 minutes, they liked her, Hanna loved them and immediately in that moment I knew she had found her forever home. Hanna's Mom says she is loving her new home where she has 1/2 of an acre to run laps with their other rescue dog Jasmine, a young female chocolate Lab.

     We needed a new home for Phil. We prayed earnestly that God would provide a good place with water and space, and people to love him. The family that adopted him has all of that and more. We couldn't keep him but we found a great family who could. I'm so thankful that the Rescue Me site was available!

     Bailey was rescued from a young family that had not the time nor the facilities for caring for a furry family member. They realized this, and we offered to foster her (something we have never done before) till she found a forever home. With us for just two days, she found a very kind young man that was willing to give her the love and attention she craved. This loveable little girl has years of companionship to look forward to. We were torn on wanting to make sure she went to the right home, and not really sure what to do. I found Rescue Me!, and took a chance, and it was a blessing. Thank you to all the kind people who offered to open their home to her. A big thank you to Jeff for this website.

Within 24 hours, little Tasha was on her way to her new forever home in Kansas. She has a wonderful home where she will be so spoiled and be an inside dog. When Miss Jeniffer and her son saw her, it was love at first sight. Tasha loved them instantly and the feelings were mutual. Thank you Rescue Me!

     Due to a job loss and downsizing in living quarters, we needed to find a home for Rascal... A woman who lives close was looking for a companion for her dog. We went up this past Saturday and met with the dog and his owner... Rascal immediately took (although couldn't understand why we were leaving without him) to his new home... we know that he is in good hands. We are so pleased to know that Rascal is running around in a yard with a mate, eating well and being taken care of instead of having to place him in a shelter. Thank you to the woman who adopted Rascal and thank you to Rescue Me! for providing a service for people like us to find good homes for our four legged kids!

     Two pups adopted in two days! Amazing! I love this site. I check out all my adoptees thoroughly. Big Sis will be likely named Pearl, and will have a new rescue brother next week, a Golden named Duke. They will be living on waterfront property in South Carolina, so they will both enjoy swimming in the summer. God Bless them! I donated 20% of my adoption fee to Rescue Me's Lab Rescue as a thank you in return. Now to adopt out their Mom and friend. Thank you so much, Rescue Me!

     Thanks to Rescue Me!, another one of our pups was adopted. The new owner recently won custody of his children, and he hadn't had a dog since he was growing up. He decided he wanted a lab, since he had them when he was a kid, so he decided on a rescue. The kids don't even know they are getting a dog. They will be so surprised! He named him Luke. He looks like a 'cool hand Luke' to me. He has a cute little swagger, so he's a cool dog. I give back a donation for every adoption I get thru Rescue Me! These little doggies are so lucky this site exists. I am grateful for it as well. Great job, and Thank you!

     Today, one of the pups we found on the side of the road, Itty Bitty, was adopted! The family drove 70 miles to see her, and although they liked all the pups, chose Itty to take home. I had called their vet to make sure they checked out, and the vet knew the family well. Their black lab had passed a while back due to cancer, and they were ready for another pup. They will send me emails with pics of Itty as she grows up, so I feel good about them. They live near the beach, and their subdivision has a dog park with a pond. How lucky Itty Bitty is to find a wonderful family! Now, to adopt out the rest of Itty Bitty's dog family...

     Storm/Pippin's new doggy mom says, 'It's been just over a month that Pippin (formerly known as 'Storm') has been a member of our household. He is sensitive, smart, eager to please and full of fun. We get up at 6:30 each morning, Pippin and I, and go for a short stroll, during which the Pipster takes care of business. Then, it's back into the house, where he lays under the table near me while we read the newspaper. Every once in a while, he jumps up and trots through the downstairs, as a dog on a mission. He'll often return with his well-chewed shark toy, which is fast becoming a flounder (flat), on its way to becoming a minnow (well-chewed).' 'He is becoming more confident in the kitchen, while retaining his good manners regarding the counters and our food. But we don't leave things out to create temptation --- why should he have better self control than I do? :)' 'He is gaining confidence around men, but he is really bonded to me, to my delight, as I am the one who gets down on the floor with him to play and to take evening naps to watch Frasier reruns, sharing a large dog bed where we cuddle and then fall asleep.' 'For our longer 'adventure walks,' I still have him on a 30' line. He is getting really good about coming, and his confidence shows as he romps back into my hugs each time. He is learning about lots of wonderful things, such as streams and bunny smells, sheep and other dogs. He has stopped throwing up in the car, and has begun to accompany me on errands to new and exciting places. He is fast becoming my loving sidekick.'

     As hard as it was to decide to rehome my beloved fuzzy 4-legged girl, this site made it all so easy. We found her a home that couldn't be any more perfect for her in less than 48 hours. I feel like everything that led her to her new family was meant to be. We will miss Daisy Duke a lot. But, knowing how much the family loves and adores her made it so much easier. I would highly recommend Rescue Me! to anyone either re-homing or looking for a new addition to their family. Thank you!

     My beautiful five month old Joey, a black lab, was adopted last week by a young couple who I know will give Joey a good home and be good to him. It broke my heart to give him up, but we have three little dogs and with a big dog, it just didn't work out. I want to personally thank Rescue Me's Lab Rescue website for this opportunity to post my dog knowing that whoever answered would be a lab lover, which they are. There are so many dogs that need to be adopted and if everyone would take the extra time to post on a website rather than dumping them in the street, we would live in a better world. Thank you Rescue Me! for finding Joey a good home. We will miss him forever!

     Sampson is a sweet yellow Lab. We were no longer able to care for him. A very sweet young couple came to see him and fell in love with him. They have called to report that he is settling in well with the other dogs in the home. Sampson was my son's dog and as often happens, he became our dog. My son is deploying to Afghanistan, and the new family has offered pictures over e-mail and a visit when my son comes home. I could not have picked a better family for Sam. We are truly blessed to have found a great home for him.

     I was very hesitant about putting my lab up for adoption, but knew I needed to figure out something because I was moving soon and could not bring him with me. One night I decided to look up a lab rescue site and stumbled across Rescue Me! After reading about some of the other labs up for adoption, I decided to list my dog and see what happened. I was so surprised to get a call two days later from a gentleman looking for more information about my lab. He called a second time and wanted to schedule a time to come and meet him. In the meantime, I received an email from another man interested in adopting our dog, along with a phone call from a woman wanting to possibly adopt our dog! I had to tell them that there was someone coming to meet him on the weekend for a possible adoption, but that I would take their information in case it did not work out. Well, it did work out! Kuzco was adopted yesterday (Saturday) after only being on the website a few days. I felt so good about this adoptive family; it really set my heart at ease! Our loss is their gain! Thank you, thank you!

     I posted my beloved pet, Jitterbug on Rescue Me! and within 24 hours had a wonderful family adopt her. I went to their home to make sure Jitterbug was going to be loved and she was wagging her tail from the second I arrived with her. I always had her outside and her new family wants her to be an inside pet. It was hard giving her up but had to due to moving. I felt very good when I left her that she will be loved and taken good care of. This was the first time I have every used Rescue Me! and it is wonderful. After I posted her picture and bio I couldn't sleep that night worrying if I would find a good home in time. I prayed hard someone would love her as much I had. When Michelle called and wanted her I knew God had answered my prayers. Thank you Rescue Me! for helping me find this wonderful family.

     Our shelter has been actively using Rescue Me! for a few weeks now and I am so impressed with the reach that you give us! We have had several adoptions made through this site. We had a young lady drive 2-1/2 hours from Nashville to pick up a puppy and her parting comment was 'She is so worth the $150 speeding ticket I got coming down to get her!' That made us smile. :) We also have one medium-sized adult dog that was on the brink of euthanasia, but is now being flown out to a home in California. The gentleman is so excited about making her part of his family. We have a young man from Wisconsin looking to drive down in a few weeks to pick up one of our black labs and take him home - that is a long drive - but he thinks Duke is worth it! We can't thank Rescue Me! enough for all that you do to keep our animals moving on to good homes!

     I had a lot of guilt in giving up my dog Gibson due to the fact that I couldn't give him the time/energy he deserved. I work a job that requires me to work nights and didn't find it fair to him that I was always expecting him to sleep and be quiet. I wasn't able to walk him and play with him like he deserved. I was his third home in his short life and he had become very attached to me. I knew I did not want to place him in a shelter and I wanted to be the one to choose what home he went to. He loves children and I knew if he was placed in a home with kids he would be so happy. I found him an amazing couple with two children -- a 4 year old boy and a 14 month old girl. I enjoyed the fact I was able to have a hand in deciding who he spends the rest of his life with and knowing he was never sitting alone in a kennel waiting to be adopted. Rescue Me! was wonderful and I am grateful someone recommended it to me. When I am in a position to care for a dog appropriately, and want to adopt a dog, I will definitely look on Rescue Me! Thank you so much for everybody's inquiry into Gibson!

It was a family from a different state and we spoke on the phone and exchanged emails and text messages. We finally met and they were in love with Brownie, and off he went to a new loving family to get as much as love as I wish I could have given him. Thank you, Rescue Me!!! Once my daughter is ready to have another dog, we will come back to this site, for sure. Thank you, Mayara

     I put Benji up for adoption and we found him a lovely home in less than a week. We fostered Benji after he was found in the highway and hit by a car. We would have loved to have kept him as he is such a sweet boy, but are glad he is with his new family, who don't have cats for him to chase! Thank you for your awesome Rescue Me website!

     Charlie's early months were spent living in a tiny crate. His original 'owners' confinement caused him to have a slight deformity in his rear legs, he walks like an old cowboy. He was rescued after living with a loving foster family for a few months where it was discovered that he likes to swim, and it's good for his legs. His adoptive family have a pool and he is living happily ever after!

     I posted Rocky at about 2:00 pm, by 5:00 pm the same day I had received about 4-6 emails inquiring about him. Everyone who responded seemed like they were great for him but this one family really stood out, the Mom had emailed me first, then the Dad emailed me to make sure the first email went through. They have 5 children aging from 6-15, very active, they play soccer so they are always in the yard practicing. Also the Dad often has to go out of town for his job so he wanted a big dog not so much for protection but to help his family to feel safe. When they came to meet Rocky it was love at first site! He ran to them, they played fetch, and he was in awe with all the attention he was getting! It was a bitter-sweet ending because of the love we have for Rocky ourselves but under the circumstances it would have been selfish on our part to keep him where he was alone for 12-14 hours a day, etc!!!! We called the next morning which was Sunday and they said everything was perfect!!! I can't thank Rescue Me! enough for this site and for the other people who emailed me, I told them to make sure they look up your website as there are plenty of lovable babies in need of good homes!!!!!

     Casper (now Jake) is off of death row! He was adopted by a family that has another lab and a 30 acre farm for him to run and play on. I have met the great staff at the Crawford County Humane Society. They love these dogs and have held over, for at least this week, putting the dogs down. They are overwhelmed with new strays coming in daily. The 16 dogs I put on here are all sweet good-natured dogs. Their tails never stop wagging. They all want homes. But there is only so much room. As long as there is interest, these dogs have a chance so please tell everyone you know about these dogs. Jake's new family drove a total of 4 hours to adopt him. And guess what... they feel like the lucky ones. Thank you, Rescue Me!, for helping us get the word out on these awesome dogs!!!!

     7-month old Jake came to me because he was abandoned by his former owners. He immediately became part of our family. Unfortunately my work schedule made it very difficult to keep him. In less than 24 hours after posting Jake on Rescue Me!, I received a response from a wonderful family who will give Jake the life he deserves. Thank You, Rescue Me!

     As hard as it was for me to do this, and give up my precious chocolate lab Gin Gin, I had no choice as my husband's health is not good. We both decided that we would try and see what could happen and we were extremely pleased that a man wanted her as his pet and not as a hunting dog as she is 4 1/2 years old and was never trained as a hunting dog. I thought it would be impossible to do, but with Rescue Me!, within a just a couple of days, I had many calls with people wanting her (even without a photo). He drove about 3 hours just to meet her and fell in love immediately with her. He is retired and has a lot of room for her and will truly take very good care of her! Like anything, it's an adjustment for the dog as well as myself and my husband and the man who is giving her a great home. We will stay in touch with each other and he knows that if something does not work out that he will bring her back to us. Thanks so very much and I truly hope and pray that all the animals are adopted with good people that will give them a good home with lots of love like the man who adopted our loving dog.

     Sampson is one lucky old fella! I put him on this 'Rescue Me' site on Saturday, Feb. 16th and he was adopted by a lovely family in less than two days! I took him to his forever family on Monday. He has a new mom and dad to take care of him. His original owner died last May. He has a kennel mate to hang out with and the big bonus is, he has two kids to play with him. That is the best part of the story. I know he will make this family feel loved, it is the greatest gift a dog can give. Have a good journey Sampson, you deserve it! I cried for you, with a joyful heart, on my drive home. I will miss your hefty bark at feeding time with your 'old pack' - but knowing you are cared for makes me happy. I am so Happay, Happay, Happay! (Duck Dynasty fans will get that!)

     We have been looking for a yellow lab for the last several months as we lost our oldest lab Mulligan at the age of 12 from congestive heart failure. She was not only a companion to our 6 year old Lab, Marley, but a member of our family. We had found a couple other yellow labs but they had been adopted by the time we inquired about them. Then we found the listing last Sunday morning on Rescue Me's Lab Rescue about Nugget. She has a face just like our beloved Mulligan. I knew she was the one to complete our family once again. I have a pretty stressful job troubleshooting hospital printing and network issues all over the world. I can get called day and night. I love to spend time with my dogs as they help keep me grounded and focused. I can have a very busy and bad day, but walk in the back door of my house and have two big loving dogs that can't wait to take care of all my stress by wanting to play or go for a walk. Nugget has fit right into our family. She and Marley love to play together, and follow me and my wife wherever we go. They curl up at the end of the day by the fireplace, or between my wife and I and make us very thankful for the day. If you have never shared your life with a Lab, or any four-legged friend I highly recommend it. Adopt one today and you will see that your life will change. You may think you are saving their life, but when you look back after a few years you will realize the life that was saved may be your own. I look forward to every morning just to start the day off walking my dogs. Making sure they are healthy and happy makes my life healthier and happier. They will teach you a lot about yourself that you may not have ever realized if you had never taken a chance and adopted. Nugget and Marley are laying on either side of my office chair as I am typing this, ready for out next adventure in life together. Thank you again for providing as great an organization as Rescue Me! You provide a great service to our four legged furry friends. Without you, we would have never found Nugget. Our new Golden Nugget!

     A pretty yellow and cream lab wondered onto our farm looking for a place to keep warm. We seem to get more than our share of homeless animals. I couldn't leave her wondering the countryside so I invited her up to the house for food and a place to sit. She wanted indoors but we already had dogs inside and she was going through a heavy molt, so she stayed in the garage on a huge dog bed. She played with our three dogs while I looked for her owners, asking every logical place if they knew about her. I also looked up Rescue Me's Lab Rescue and put her picture here with a post for a new home. We had her spayed and kept looking for another home for her. It's a good thing Kathy and Lee called about her because she was stealing my heart and I knew we couldn't have another dog at this time. Within a week of putting her on this rescue site she was spayed and went to her new forever home. She and I went up to the dog park in Lincoln, were she met several other dogs. She loved it. We met up with Kathy and Lee there too, they seemed pleased to be taking her home. I'm confident she is in a nice home now because of her post on Rescue Me!

     Hi, Having to find a home for my friend Hank was really hard on me. When Hank's new friend Nell called to find out more about Hank I admit I cried. When Nell came to meet Hank I could see how easily bonded Hank could become with Nell. It hurt but I knew that living with Nell was what was best for Hank. At first Hank didn't like Nell's husband but with understanding and a quick walk they became fast friends. It helped that Nell's husband tossed Hank's favorite toy, his basketball. Hank was happy to take a truck ride with Nell and her husband to go live with them. Nell has been nice enough to send me pictures of Hank and let me call to see if he was ok his first night away. Nell is a wonderful lady and it is clear she will be a wonderful friend to Hank. Thank you Nell, and thank you Rescue Me!, for making a hard experience just a little bit easier for me and my family.

     I had to make the dreaded decision to find a new home for my chocolate lab (just turning six). I posted his photo and information on the Rescue Me website and within hours had a phone call from a wonderful family who recently lost their black lab due to old age. They drove many miles to meet and play Frisbee with Dillon. I could see a special bond forming between Dillon and the 10-year old boy, and the whole family quickly fell in love. It was incredibly hard to let Dillon go. But I will hold onto the image of Dillon and the ten year old playing on the lawn (big smiles and a wagging tail) and know that my dog will continue to live a charmed life.

     Rescue Me! is a wonderful site. Two very good potential adopters found Reggie on this site and contacted me. I am certain I would have been able to adopt Reggie to one of the families that contacted me through Rescue Me!, however, after caring for Reggie for 4 months, getting him to good health, healing his wounds, and training him, someone in the family of his deceased owner decided they now wanted Reggie. We felt that due to his age, it would be less stressful for him to go to a home with people he already knew, so we went that route. If this family member did not decide to take Reggie, I am sure one of the adopters that Rescue Me! found would have been the home Reggie went to. Thank you Jeff for creating Rescue Me! and for having such a wonderful and far reaching site. The fact that we as temporary homes for these dogs can list free of charge is such a great help since so many of us who volunteer to foster these dogs end up spending a large amount of our own money to care for them as most of them come to us in need of much medical attention due to the fact that they have been neglected. I spent over $600 out of my pocket for Reggies care and medical expenses, so the fact that I could list fee of charge on Rescue Me! was extremely helpful. Thank you Jeff for helping us help these dogs who are in such dire need of having a guardian!

     Thanks, Jeff and thanks Rescue Me! .... You are a life-saver! I am elderly, my husband passed, and I had to move to Virginia to be with my children so they could assist me in everyday living. I had been worried sick about finding a good home for my two Black Labs, Lady and Rennie. I found Rescue Me! and posted my two Labs and after several weeks I found homes for them. The first to go was Rennie. Her new 'mama' came from 70 miles away with a teenaged daughter and they both fell in love with Rennie right away. Rennie seemed to love them too. They live on a big farm and Rennie happily went with them. This is wonderful! Not only did Rescue Me! help me find a home, it helped me find a Good Home.. which is so important. A week later a man and his wife took Lady to live with them...a very nice couple who have two other dogs for Lady to hang out with. Again, Bless you and Thanks from the bottom of my heart to Jeff Gold and Rescue Me! ..... :-)
