Pickle

The second I saw pickles I knew he was mine ! I took him home about a a month and a half ago, and it was love at first sight ! I love him so much and he is so happy. I have another cat named Milton, they get along great and play together and groom each other. Pickles is definetly a big personality, he is always speaking to me. Thank you guys so much for everything Dana Kippel

Garfield

Dear Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue, I sent pictures in a separate email. One is with Zoe, who was partly responsible for introducing me to Garfield (with her mom, Lisa Stoler). There's a photo with him on my bed with his new brother, Tom. It was a process, but we are finally in a good place in the home. I suspect eventually the boys will be best friends. Garfield is adored, and has regular visitors. He's beautiful inside and out, and so very SMART! Thanks to Justin Bartlett for rescuing him and ushering him into my life.

Twerp

Hi Kathy! Thank you for contacting me to follow up on our baby! I'm so in awe of the dedication you guys show this cause! I'd LOVE to share some photos and updates! For starters, we renamed "Twerp" when he came home. His name is "Geronimo." (Haha) He didn't seem to know the prior name so it was an easy transition. He's been a great puppy and is loving beyond belief! He's so smart and to date we've been able to teach him "sit", "lay down", "no", "drop it", "in", "let's go", "outside" and we're still working on several others. (I've enlisted the help of a book called "Lucky Dog") He's crate/pen training and so far has knocked that straight out of the park! I have four children whom he simply adores and they couldn't be ANY happier to have him. I have a 9yr old daughter whom suffers from Aspergers syndrome and about the ONLY thing that can calm her down is Geronimo. She has a fraternal twin sister who loves to read to him, and he lays quietly in her lap while she does so. As well, I have ano 8yr old son with hyperactive ADHD and Geronimo's high energy spirit runs the energy out of him until they both pass out in the floor sometimes. (I'll supply a pic! Ha!) My 14yr old son is his favorite and they play for hours! He's also helping the most with training him. My partner, whom was the most reluctant about taking on the responsibility of a new dog is ridiculously smitten with him. She's singlehandedly already his "person"......besides me of course. ;-) He's already become a traveling dog as well. We went home to Kenticky for 2 weeks over the holidays. A 15hr drive. And he blew my mind at how simply amazing he was. We bought a pretty spacious carrier which he laid out in and sleep for 7hrs at a time! Crazy, right??! This dog is a dream! I just want to think everybody at JBAR again for taking such great care of our newest family member before we discovered him. He's brought such joy and happiness to our home! Feel free to share ANY and ALL parts of our update! Hope you guys had an amazing holiday! Best regards, Aretta Combs

Danny

Hello Kathy, We are very happy indeed for having Danny with us now. Our kids have renamed him Apollo and he is already responding to his new name. He is a curious, sweet and playful puppy and we are loving every moment with him as part of our family. He has adapted really well and has gotten along with our 2 year old dog, Athena. They have really hit it off!!

Nicka

It looks like NICKA has adapted to her new home nicely. She is a sweetheart. ❤️ Her attention and disposition is excellent. This will be one of the nicest dogs I have had the pleasure of owning. Thanks for all you do with the animals. Especially the love and care you show to them all.. Susan & I couldn't be happier with NICKA. Happy New Year Sincerely, Jim & Susan Gedville
