Our Success Stories
CHIQUA now
LUCY
Chiqua was surrendered
by her family because they had to move suddenly. She is a cute, lively and feisty
little girl with tons of energy. She entered foster care, but quickly found
a forever family to adopt her. She went to live with an older male Boxer and
three active young kids. She adores the children and gives her new Boxer brother
a run for his money. Her new home is great about tolerating her active personality
and "active" is putting it lightly!!! She's a dynamo!!!
Update June 7, 2006 -
We rescued Lucy from you in December of
2003. At that time she was known as Chiquita but we changed her name to
Lucy. I wanted to let you know that she is doing great. In the
beginning we had a lot of challenges with Lucy as she is very high
energy and she was very difficult to housebreak but of course we stuck
with it and she is a fantastic dog. She is a great partner for our
other boxer, Otis, who is now 8 (Lucy is now 3). As she has grown up
her energy level has tapered off a bit but I still take her running
every morning so she gets her exercise. She loves to play with Otis but
since he is 8 he really doesn’t have that much interest in playing rough
anymore. That is OK because I took a job with an animal shelter about a
year ago (we moved to Chicago so the shelter is in a suburb of Chicago)
and I bring home a lot of foster dogs. The one thing I can say about
Lucy is that she LOVES all other dogs – we have never had a problem with
her getting along with another dog. Currently we are fostering an
8-month-old black lab/beagle mix and a 4 year old boxer. Both were at a
shelter in the south and they were going to be
euthanized that day so we said we would take them and find them
homes. The boxer was not in the best of shape – very skinny and lots of
ticks – but he is also a fantastic dog and getting better every day.
The black lab/beagle has to go but we are considering keeping the boxer
and becoming a 3 boxer household!
Anyway, rest assured that Lucy is in a
good home. I have attached a couple of recent pictures for you. Thanks
for all the good work you do!
