Isaac Newton finds a home in the heart of two wonderful people!

Isaac’s search for a new home ended today when his prospective adoptive parents decided he was the perfect dog for them! He has two wonderful, loving people, a cat and a lifetime of happiness in front of him! It always continues to amaze us how such great people find their way here and weave themselves into the hearts of the dogs we love and care for so deeply! Isaac is starting his new life with a new name… Remy! We even got our first update tonight! Remy too, has found the home that fits him just right! It is another great day here at TFDC!

Newton and Family-1

Visitors to TFDC!

We wanted to take the time to thank Shannon for giving up her day off and coming over to get Isaac Newton ready for his new home! Very much appreciated! And we had the added bonus of being able to meet her son Sawyer! Thanks so much for volunteering your time!

The dogs appreciated the gifts Stephen brought today! It is not often they have visitors bearing gifts!

And on the same note…. Zachary spoiled the dogs rotten last week by stopping at Barker’s Dozen before picking up Emmett. Eclairs, cupcakes, brownies and bisquits galore… many hugs to you and Emmett!

Kritter Kronicles also sent a donation from Pawsfest which helped to sponsor Isaac Newton! Thanks Stephen and Jean… your time and effort were very much appreciated!

And all of the others that make the day to day operations here so much easier… Michelle, Molly, Liz, Janet, Roger and Shane… to name a few!

News from our little church buddy – Felix aka Harry

Felix had a busy day today…getting his teeth cleaned and having his fatty tumor removed! He pulled through like a champ! He has a new name to go with his new look… Harry!  Harry attends morning worship, goes everywhere with Anne and Jerry, and has been entertaining everyone he comes in contact with! He loves to race around his new home chasing after a ball or just putting smiles and laughter in everyone’s heart! He is one little guy with one huge purpose in life! We are happy we were part of that purpose! You go Harry!

Rusty gets a second chance and a home dogs dream about!

Rusty went home last week to the fairy tale home dogs dream about! He is the apple of Zachary’s eye and could not be more loved and cherished! He has a lab that lives nearby to play with, takes many walks, hikes and has a lot of play time! Zachary sends frequent updates and keeps us laughing. Rusty’s new name is Emmett. He made the transition smoothly and effortlessly! We couldn’t have asked for a better forever home for Emmett!

Isaac Newton is shepherd mix. He is a tall slim young man. He enjoys playing with his ball and chasing Kongs. He is very fast and very playful. He is an extremely intelligent dog who responds well to positive interactions. He appears to have had a rough start in life and can be unsure and untrusting of people he first meets. However, once he establishes a bond he lets his guard down and becomes best friends. This is one awesome dog for the right person. He is loving and kind and enjoys his people time. Isaac would do well in a chaos free home where he has a good mix of quiet time, active ball playing time and time to interact with his person. Isaac is working on his crate training. He is housebroken and good alone in the house. He gets along well with other dogs and shows little interest in the cats. Isaac weighs 60 lbs.
