We adopted
Scruffy last may, he has made himself at home with our family. He plays with us, walks the neighborhood with us. Although,
car rides are not his thing to do, he gets sick easy. He knows where his spot is on the couch. He even tries to steal the
remote control sometimes! Scruffy has made us laugh, and proud. This has been the absolute best dog, we never had to work
at house training him, from the very first day we got him, he went and scratched at the door to go outside. When we leave
during the day to run errands, he posts himself on the couch or on one of the beds and waits for us to come home. Scruffy
is not the type of dog to take a bath, but take him to the park.....he jumps right into the water. We Love him!!!! We have
since found him a playmate, a german shepherd named Max. They play and scuffle, but get along just great. Thank you ARK for
Scruffy. Walls Family

A few Recent pictures of Landry and his dad, Gary, taken in the backyard. Landry learned to
use the dog door the first day by watching a cat go through it. He is enjoying the yard more now that it
isn’t 100 degrees every day. Landry
has completed four weeks of PetSmart Puppy Education classes and is the star of the class. He is very intelligent
(even the instructor has said so) and learns quickly. He is very food-motivated, which also helps.
Landry gets his third visit to the vet this coming week. Our vet, Dr Neeman, thinks he is in great
shape. I think he looks a little skinny, but it is probably just because he is so tall. Gary
is about 5’11, so you can see in the “Landry Stretch” picture that Landry has grown a bit. Mary.

Jethro is a bloodhound mix I adopted from ARK in April. He is about 1 year old now and doing great!
He is just as loveable and friendly as he was the day I first met him. He LOVES meeting new people and can't sit still
when someone new is around. He has a big backyard to run around in now and loves playing fetch with his tennis balls.
As you can see from his pictures, we often take trips to the lake and he loves to hang his head out of the window to smell
everything. He has been a wonderful blessing, thank you!

Hi my name is Jacqueline, I have adopted this lab/mix at
the 2011 Dogwood festival in Idabel from ARK. I just wanted to put a post and some pictures of her on here so you all can
see how she is doing. She is a healthy 10 pound puppy; she gets wormed and gets flea medicine when she needs it; she is up-to-date
on all her shots; she has a new name which is Tinkerbell. I named here this because when I brought her home to her new family
she was really playfull and a little fiesty like the cartoon character Tinkerbell. She has many family and friends and is
doing wonderful. She comes inside sometimes when it storms but on the storm we had on 4-25-11 she made it through this tornado
and hail and she is wonderful with childern and loves to play ball and catch. She has learned alot; she has learned how to
stay and she is learning how to sit and ride in the back of the truck. She loves to be spoiled and she loves my other dog;
she sleeps with him and when we get her away from him she whines until we put her back with him. He is an older dog so he
is protective over her. She climbs all over him and here is a picture of her and him and a picture of her sleeping. Thank you so much, Jacqueline Renee K.
We adopted Shandie in October of 2008 when she was about 4 months old. She has been such
a blessing. I could not have dreamed up a better dog. Shandie is well trained, does approximately 20 tricks, tracks deer (the
hard to find type) which she loves to do and cuddles like nobody's business. She guards the house and my teenage sons with
gusto, loves the whole family but is definitely momma's girl. She follows me room to room and really loves her "chelly
rubs". This dog is so in tune with her entire family, she knows if someone is sad or sick and she "takes care"
of them. At 40 pounds she is also a perfect size, big enough to scare off any intruder and small enough to cuddle up next
to me on the couch. I want to say a big thank you to ARK for trusting us with this very special dog. Adding her to our
family was one of the best decisions I have ever made. -Denise, Cody,
Ethan, Zach and Chase-
Hello all ! Just a note to let you know Butter is doing great!!

Hello!
I adopted Camo from the shelter in November of 2008!
He was 7lbs when I adopted him & 12 weeks old.
He is
now 40 lbs & will be 2 years old in August!
Camo LOVES to play fetch, run around, & swim!
His favorite place
is either at the lake or snuggled in your arms!
He is the sweetest boy ever & I couldn't imagine life without my
baby boy.
My other dog, Kloey, Took very well to him when I first brought him home.
She is very maternal and cleans
his face for him and snuggles with him at night.
They are both inseparable!
He is a big goof & a klutz!
Camo
keeps the entertainment alive and a smile on everyone's face!
Thank you so much for this beautiful dog!

Here are a few pictures to update you on Tanner; he's turning into quite a character! He now weighs
60lbs and is growing into those long legs.
Over the 4th of July we loaded up the dogs and headed down to Port Aransas,
TX, the dogs loved the beach and water. However, the pool is a whole
different story. He has no interest in getting in,
and doesn't understand why the other two love diving in to get toys.

We adopted Sadie a little black and white Boston mix last September from you guys. I
just wanted to tell you guys thank you. She is the best kids pet ever. She came to us crate trained, but I pleased
to say she has never had an accident . You guys perform a great service and I just wanted to say thank you.
I have enclosed some pictures of "Casey" my daughter changed her name. My son calls her "Queso"
which means cheese in spanish. We can't figure out why he calls her this, but she comes to both.

| A present for me! |
| Christmas 2011 |

| I like my new toy! |
Karlee got a new ball for Christmas. I wrapped it in Christmas paper before I gave it to her. She had
it opened in about 2 seconds. The two pictures show her opening her present and then resting (surrounded by the shredded
wrapping paper) after playing with her new ball.

This is Mr. Sammy
Wilson. My mom works with ARK and does some fostering also. One late afternoon in early fall of 2010, Mom received
a phone call asking if she would foster a small dog, one that was about to be tossed out a window while the car was traveling
down the road just because he was not wanted. My Mom said she would try to help out. Little did we know that this
tiny Chorkie was only three weeks old and had to be dropper fed every three hours. I was in college and could hardly
wait to come home to meet this little orphan. Have you heard of "love at first sight"? This is exactly
what I experienced with this little chorkie. I immediately made plans to take him back with me to college, fully knowing
I had to get up every three hours to feed him AND come home from classes at lunch. (I lived in an apartment.)
Sammy is a very spoiled little man; he is so spoiled that he does not even know he is a dog (literally). He
lives life to the fullest and always has a great attitude towards anyone he meets, for he is so loving. Sammy is practically
our sorority mascot, as well as the fraturnity mascot that my boyfriend is part of. He enjoys riding in the car and
looking out the front window during the ride. Oh, and of course, he is a huge cuddler! Sammy always keeps
a smile on my face and he is truly an example of "a mans best friend". Sammy IS a success story!
Thank you ARK for doing what you do! Beth Wilson

Hi Everyone,
Wanted to give you an update on Freckles. She is growing like a weed and doing great!!!! Freckles
has learned how to Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Crate trained and House broken (Yeah!!!!). She will “Come” on her
own time but we’ll keep working on it. She loves pig ear chews, to roll in the grass, going to the park and now
has a “brother” to play with. He was named Wishbone at the shelter but we have started calling him T-Bone
for some reason, don’t know why.

gotten real good at getting to her ball before she can get it, and making her chase me all over to try and take it away from
me ... (I only let her ha
