Biscuit

Thank you so much for letting me adopt Biscuit. She is such a joy!!! I'm going to take her to the dog park after work if the weather is still nice. So yes I know I am a bad pet parent and let her sleep with me, which means I'm not getting enough sleep when she wants to play at 2am, but I can't stand to hear her cry. It breaks my heart!!! I'm loving her to death!!! Thank you again for letting me adopt her.

Delilah (aka Cotton)

I wanted to provide you with an update on Cotton. We have named her Delilah and call her "Lyla". She is an absolute blessing to our home and we love her dearly. Lyla seemed to transition fairly well and is frankly already spoiled rotten. With each passing day, she seems to get more rambunctious and playful; not to mention that she chews on EVERYTHING. We take a long walk around our neighborhood daily and she is doing extremely well with a leash. We love her, we love her, we love her! Thank you.

boof.jpg
Boof

Boof is doing great! He is such a happy, easy-going dog. We have a park that we go to and there our lots of dogs for him to play with and he can run around. He likes the water but is not swimming yet. Our son is now 13 months old and he absolutely loves Boof! I think Boof is his favorite dog. He is not talking yet, but he points to Boof and makes a B sound. Boof may even be his first word! Boof is so good to him- calm and gentle. We love him!

Calli (right, aka Jellybean)

Awesome updates to your website!! You do such great work for these poor creatures... thank you for all you do!
You remember "Jelly Bean" the pup dumped at about 4 weeks of age she is now named Calli and is such a wonderful puppy. She's a great addition to our family even though we really didn't need another big dog. She is super smart and is at the top of her class in puppy training. We recently visited the dog friendly beach of Cape San Blas, FL and Calli and her big brother had an absolute blast!
Thanks again for all you do for the animals here in central Arkansas! You guys rock!

Angelo4.JPG
Angelo

I made it to the puppy classes yesterday. To be very honest, Angelo doesn't need the classes! He was one of the better puppies there and one of the most handsome too! He has such class! He is doing so well so fast, and we kind of read each other. We are just in love with Angelo and he is absolutely wonderful. I don't know if that had to do with you having him at the beginning. He does excellent in the car. He sits in the front seat and on occasion I just rub the side of his face while he sleeps.

Ozzie.jpg
Ozzie

Ozzie is the joy of my life. Thanks for letting me adopt him. Ozzie and Casey share the chair we all use to watch TV. It gets a little crowded till everybody finds their spot, but we all pile in. In the background you can see his bone and a stuff toy that's not so stuffed!! That's his couch where he can look at the front yard. He has a doggie door for the back yard where he rushes out to chase all the lions, tigers, and bears away!!!!(okay, maybe it's a squirrel)

Kaya

Our baby is doing great. She had a good day yesterday and had lots of play time with Xena outside. Kaya really goes after my big dog Xena. Kaya has this little growl when her and Xena are playing, it's so funny. We love her so much.

Thanks!

Ty

Ty is doing so well...we will be getting the pet door in shortly so he can roam the yard all the time. He has gotten more vocal lately he hadn't barked at all and now he randomly makes funny noises. He is at the soccer field with us everyday and has loved it. Thanks again so much, its been great so far.

Toby (right, with Camille)

Toby and Camille sleep together and play fight over the toys. They have really learned how to play together and are so much fun to watch. They can get very loud though. I cannot believe how fast Toby can run. Camille is fast but Toby really outruns her.

We are all a happy family!

Taffy

I am so happy with Sweet Taffy Lou!! And I think she is happy with me too! She loves to be inside, and not very happy to go out... She loves the cat but the love is not mutual. I thank you so much!

josie.jpg
Josie (aka Mona Lisa)

Josephine sometimes sleeps with all of us. She likes to plant herself right between us! You might recall that she is a big ole' girl, so she really takes up some room - hahahha! She apparently really likes Tony best as she ALWAYS smashes herself right up against him. She loves the loft...she loves to be scratched on the head and often meows to me when I am talking to her.

buster.jpg
Buster (aka Bam-Bam, center)

Bam-Bam, now named Buster, is such a special member of our family. We knew we wanted to add another dog to keep our current Chihuahua, Angel, company, and we could not have chosen a more perfect dog. Buster is playful but sweet, hyper but calm, and just a perfect blend of personalities to make our family complete. Thanks so much to Becky for taking such good care of him and making him perfectly adoptable! We love Buster!

huck2.jpg
Huck

Just wanted to pass along how happy our family is with our recent adoption of Huck. We could not be happier or more in love with the little guy! He is so lovable with our family...
He is a very smart dog - loves to fetch a ball and bring it back, he snuggled up next to our cat last night, uses the doggie door, and comes to voice commands. Huck has brought alot of love, laughter, and silliness into our home. Thank you so very much and Happy New Year to you!

"Jack" (Barney) is doing great and getting used to the family. We had a Blessed Christmas and we hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year.

Oliver (aka Barnabus)

Oliver was so excited to see Santa this year. He jumped up in his lap and gave him a BIG OLE KISS right on the mouth. We love Oliver to pieces, he is so much fun! Merry Christmas to all!!!

sawyer.jpg
Sawyer (right)

Just wanted to tell you how well Sawyer is doing! He is absolutely the happiest dog I have ever seen!!!! He loves his toys, he loves his backyard, and he loves his new-found freedom with his doggy door! Sadie chases Sawyer all over the backyard, and they are definitely tired at the end of the day. I don't believe I have ever seen a little dog wag his tail in so many different directions at one time! What can I say, Charles and I are just super happy! I didn't know life was so dull before! :) Sawyer has brightened up all our lives...Thank you so much for taking such good care of him... he is just perfect.It is amazing how loving and sweet he is. I really admire what you do.

Thanks so much for everything,

Buddy (aka Bingo)

Buddy is such a GREAT dog! I couldn't be happier!!!  Debbie, his foster mother, was so helpful during the adoption process and I thank her for shaping his behavioral patterns and manners. So happy and a good boy! He adjusted so easily to life in New York City and has become the star of the neighborhood! Everyone comments on how handsome, shiny and friendly he is. He is perfectly content with apartment/city living, and has adjusted to ...everything!! AMAZING!! I tell everyone "we" meet Buddy's story and hope they will consider adopting a pet from out of state.

All my best and thank you all so much-
Kristin & Buddy

Stretch.JPG
Stretch (& Vern-right)

Stretch is doing great and I adore him. The best news, though, is that Vernie and Stretch not only like each other, they LOVE each other. They snuggle together and play together all day long. Stretch has managed to bring out the puppy in Vern - and maybe also Vern's paternal instinct?? Let me tell you, they tear around this little house like it's a motor speedway! It's like Vern is a whole new dog - who knew?

Annie Rose

She is just terrific!... She loves her walks... She's a doll and we love her. She loves to give kisses....Annie is home. Safe, full tummy, happy, healthy and loved. Thank you so much for saving this precious little dog. God sent her to us, through you. She's a keeper!

Winston & Juniper

We adopted Winston in November of 2007 and a foster-turned adoption for Juniper in March of 2008. We could not be happier with our new additions. It seems like they have been in our hearts forever. They love to "share" toys. No matter how many toys are in the basket, only one gets played with at a time. Sometimes Winston is chewing and Juniper is as close to him as possible with her head on the floor and eyes on the ball. Next time I look, Juniper is chewing and Winston is trying to "talk" her into giving it back to him. It makes us laugh every time. Thank you OOTW for all of the good work you do!

Patsy is doing great. She smiles at me when I come home...that is the funniest thing!... I took her to meet the vet today and they loved her. Everyone thinks she is such a beautiful dog...

Take Care!

bella.jpg
Bella

Bella adjusted quickly to her new home. She is a very happy and energetic youngster and keeps us laughing all of the time. She is adjusting a little more cautiously to her new playground - the beach. Always curious, a loving snuggler and always ready to give a kiss, she has quickly worked her way into our hearts and feels like she has been with us much longer than the 2+ weeks she has. We especially want to thank Kathy and everyone at OOTW for their hard work and thoroughness in helping prepare Bella for her journey from Arkansas to California, as well as their help in preparing us for Bella.

Thank you Scarlet, Ashley and family for your loving care of Bella.

Thank you Kathy and the OOTW family for your incredible dedication to the work you do so well.

schroeder.jpg
Schroeder

Schroeder is lying next to me playing with the Garfield toy that you put in the kennel he arrived in. We love him and he has brought joy to all of our family especially the grandchildren. Schroeder loves going to the beach for a walk where there are many other of his peers. He's quite friendly with them and is not intimidated by any dog, big or small. He's a wonderful dog and we feel very fortunate to have him.

Thanks again for all your work in getting him to us.

Pete & Millie

Things are going well - Pete and Millie are being wonderful puppies and bringing so much life into the house. We are very happy and really needed this type of energy to fill the house with life again...its great to get back in shape, we know they need lots of exercise and this is good for us.

Thanks,

MurrellakaMillie.jpg
Millie (aka Murrel)

We love Millie. She's the sweetest little thing, not a mean bone in her body. She met the little boys next door, and was great with them. She seems happy--I hope so, because we certainly are. Out of the Woods knows how to raise a happy healthy puppy!

Morgan

Morgan has won the hearts of almost all my customers. He loves little kids... He gets very excited when we come home, he wants attention and rolls over to have his belly rubbed, then he licks your face. He is a love bug!!

Chester

Chester is doing great. Making so many friends, both humans and dogs! He is quite popular. We are preparing to move to Virginia Beach this May/June. Looking forward to spending some time on the beach and swimming with Chester. Hope all is well with Out of the Woods.

Best Wishes,

joey.jpg
Joey

All is good here. Joey is great. He has learned all the obedience commands. I leave him out of his crate when we leave the house, he is such a good boy, he doesn't do anything he's not suppose to. He is 33 lbs now and we just love him.

dottie.JPG
Dottie

Dottie has learned to sit, sit up, lie down, and shake her paw for a treat. At night she snuggles with me on the couch for awhile watching TV, she just loves to be close to you.
She loves the snow, and runs and sticks her head down into it. I think we made a great choice in adopting Dottie. She is a great part of the family.

sam_gus.jpg
Gus (aka Sam)

It is going wonderfully!!! We are so happy to have him. His official new name, according to my boys, is Gus. I think he's lucky considering their other suggestions were Fenway and Yawkey (it's a Red Sox thing). He likes his quiet time, but he also enjoyed playing in the snow with the boys... He's an absolute joy. We couldn't be happier...We really appreciate all you've done. He is a perfect addition to our family.

Thanks,
Deena H.

socks.JPG
Socks

Just wanted to update you on Socks- we have decided to keep her name as it fit's. It has not even been a week and she has fit right in! Socks is such a joy. She is full of love and very playful. She enjoys her walks and a little free time off the leash with other dogs at the park. She has gotten into the habit of waking up the family one by one in the morning with a sniff and kiss (what a great way to wake up!). In the afternoon it's time to go to school to pick up Finn, she sits and wait's on the grass whining till he comes out. We are very happy to have our home complete with Socks.

Clovis is doing great! He started doggy school (basic training) last Saturday. He is quite character, and very much still a puppy. We are really enjoying him!

Thanks again and all the best,

Lucy

Lucy has been a wonderful addition to our family. When we first adopted her, she was a bit timid. But now, she is a bundle of joy! She just can't seem to get enough attention and love, nor can we stop giving it to her. I am so thankful for such a wonderful organization. Because of you, we now have Lucy - my baby girl.

hannah.jpg
Hannah

OOTW...if I didn't know that my sweet lab was still alive when this girl was born, I would think she was Sammie reincarnated...no kidding. I had to leave for periods during the weekend, and when I came back, she met me at the door with a toy in her mouth and all looked to be fine. This is the only dog I've had over in the last year that my special needs kitty has not been terrified of. In fact, if Hanna (new name I think though my son wants to call her Zoë) is laying down, both cats have no qualms about approaching her and sniffing. All in all, we all had a wonderful weekend and she acts like she's been there for months. She's a keeper as far as I am concerned.

Thanks!

vern.JPG

Malvern (aka Vern)

Just thought I would let you know that Vern is really learning the ropes around here. He likes to lie in the sun and he snuggles up to me all night. He's walking on a leash and doing amazingly great. Verne seems to adore me and really wants to please me. I am totally in love with him! His personality is really coming out now that he's relaxing in his new environment. Thanks for everything. I'm sure you are all missing him, but hopefully it's good to know he's happy and secure in his new home.

lilac.jpg

Lilac

We wanted to say hi and tell you how great Lilac is doing. Lilac is doing wonderful. She is so sweet and gentle for a dog that probably was not raised with any manners she is just the sweetest girl. She has become a little princess. She fits in wonderful with teenage girls she just loves her beauty sleep and late night TV. I can't say enough about what a wonderful dog she is and how much we love her. Thank you for letting us adopt her.
