Willow (formerly known as Poppy)

Posted Sat, 01/21/2012 - 12:26 by be.kind.to.animals

Date Adopted: Sat, 01/07/2012

Breed: Boston Terrier Mix

Why I chose this dog:

She had a good energy level and I knew she would be a wonderful companion. She was interested in her surroundings, but also liked to sit on my lap. She is a great size, which will allow me to take her with me when I travel. She was just an overall sweet girl.

Things I love about this dog

She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and sleep next to me at night. She loves to play, but will settle down and jump in bed with me if I'm going to take a nap. She loves playing with my housemate's dog and they've had a lot of fun chasing each other around the yard or playing tug of war with a rope toy. She's very smart and has been learning things quite quickly, from not biting me to learning "come". I look forward to all the adventures we will have!

Napa (formerly had no name)

Posted Thu, 11/17/2011 - 21:03 by belle1774

Date Adopted: Sat, 04/16/2011

Breed: Pekingese Chihuahua Mix

Why I chose this dog:

We attended the adoption event hoping to see the dog that we were interested in but soon learned she was pending for adoption. We looked around the Wonder Dog office and saw a cute little dog. It was love at first sight. Initially, we didn't think she was adoptable since she was not wearing an "adopt me" bandana. We are so glad we asked a Wonder Dog volunteer if she was available because she was. She was just picked up that morning and she didn't even have a profile online. This explains why she had no name. We were the first and last people to inquire about her. We are so happy we adopted her.

Things I love about this dog

She is very affectionate and intelligent. Our parents are very happy. She is referred to as our younger sister. Even our grandfather refers to her as our parents four-legged daughter.


Millie (Formerly Maya)

Posted Fri, 10/14/2011 - 21:01 by Annieleu_sf

Date Adopted: Fri, 09/23/2011

Breed: Terrier Mix

Why I chose this dog:

My partner and I were looking for a small to mid sized terrier to adopt. We knew we wanted a rescue--there are just too many animals out there without homes. Millie and her brother Marlowe arrived to Wonderdog in mid September 2011. We saw her picture and decided to register our interest and pay a visit on the spot. We took her to Alamo Park for some private time and knew she was the one. We loved her inquisitive brown eyes, her chocolate brown beard, her shiny black coat and her long, lanky legs. We brought her home and a month later she has really come out of her shell. She was nervous and apprehensive at first, but now is the most loving and playful little gal. When we took her for a check up at Mission Pet Hospital, she was an absolute stoic.

Things I love about this dog

We are first time dog owners and feel blessed to have Millie as our first hound. She's so much fun and has helped us be better people. Dogs help humans take life less seriously and enjoy things we forget about like how nice the early mornings are and what fun scouring a beach can be. As well as the unmistakable joy at which she greets us when we come home from work. She also loves to play with us and we haven't laughed so much in a week for a long time.


Inu (Formerly known as Scooter)

Posted Fri, 10/14/2011 - 09:22 by soniaangela

Date Adopted: Sat, 12/11/2010

Breed: Westie Terrier Mix

Why I chose this dog:

I adopted little Inu because he is adorable and he seemed like he needed a lot of love. He was very fearful but I could tell that he wasa very sweet dog and that all he needed was for someone to show him TLC. I have always loved animals especially dogs and had been looking to adopt for a while. I'm so grateful that Inu and I found each other at the right time and place.

Things I love about this dog

I love everything about him!! I'm in love with him.


Odin

Posted Tue, 09/06/2011 - 01:57 by sellyp

Date Adopted: Sat, 08/27/2011

Breed: Terrier mix

Why I chose this dog:

Odin is a very bright young dog. He is giving me so much joy each and everyday. I am so glad I adopted this dog and I really encouraging people around me to adopt one as well. Their unconditional love does CHANGE your life...

Fostering dog is a good option...to see if he/she works well with your life style. I fostered my boy for a week and I just fell in love with him. This shy dog...was turning around so much by socializing him at the dog park and cuddling all day on my couch.

Adopted animals does not take your love for granted...cause they know they once lost that love...yes, I am learning so much from my dog.
