Alumni Updates

PUPDATE ON CALVIN (now known as Thor)!!!   Thor's family send us this update: Thor, our gentle giant. He loves playing with Gunther. Thor enjoys running in the back yard, chasing balls and he is practicing to catch them. He loves bully bones, going for walks in the neighborhood and the park. Mostly, he loves car rides with his face in the wind ...

Randy's family dropped us a note recently to let us know that he loves rolling in the grass and relaxing with his favorite kitty!  They tell us that he is smart, loving and well behaved - and best of all ... LOVED! We would like to thank the volunteers, supporters and friends of SWB for your support rescuing these wonderful GSDs out of the shelter, like Randy, some facing imminent euthanasia, and giving them a chance to be loved by a family - their eyes say it all <3 We love you buddy  ...

One of our favorite things to share is alumni updates - who remembers Athena?  Happy FOREVER Athena <3 Athena is doing awesome. We completed doggie school. Of course she already knew her stuff and may have made other dogs look bad. I was so proud of her. I did well too... Athena needs daily runs but no longer needs her day kennel. She roams free in the house with her best friend and cat Harley... I can't begin to explain how thankful we are for Athena. She is sweet, loyal and loving. Goofy as heck, but so are we, so ...

WOW what a hunk!! McCoy, now known as Hunter is a hubba hubba boy and HEALTHY!!! Thank you to our supporters that followed Hunter and helped him along his journey ... we ALL love you Hunter <3 Photo credit to Sam Clark ...

MISS VIVIAN you look MAV-O-LUS!!! A few short weeks ago, a small white GSD walked off the Rescue Express and into the hearts of many, including her foster family.  Soon, what was thought to be only a temporary foster home turned into her happily ever after! Miss Vivian recently had her glamour photo shoot, I think its safe to say a loving home shines brightly in her smile - Congratulations again Miss Vivian <3 Photo Credit to Corey Polis ...

Pupdate on Annora <3 Do you remember Annora?  She was THE first dog adoption for SWB AND her foster parents were the first foster failures!!!  We had the pleasure of seeing Annora recently and taking some glamour shots  and wanted to update you - Annora Grace you are sweet and Beautiful <3 ...

****PUPDATE**** McCoy was adopted in February 2017. He was pulled from a shelter in Oregon, severely underweight. His adoptive family shares their family story: He came to us at roughly 58 lbs, every bone in his body visible, and so fragile. Now he is 30 lbs heavier with strong muscles to prove it. He has excelled so much in his training and is developing into an amazing and smart member of our family. It has been an endless adventure with him and we have learned so many things. We have learned that the second we step outside we better be ...

Who could forget Ruger?  This boy packed a HUGE personality in a small package and gained the hearts of several on his journey to adoption.   Ruger was adopted by a sweet retired couple that drove all the way from Idaho to meet him and adopted him right there on the spot - and who could blame them - just look at that smile! ...

Just short of 6 months ago, this sweet shy girl walked out of a local shelter and would barely acknowledge her rescuers. After a quick vet visit and spa treatment, a very special foster family drove several hours to get her and became SWB's first official foster failures!!!! Happy 6 month adoptaversary day Annora Grace and Robyn and Ercel - she looks AMAZING <3 ...

Alumni Athena dropped by this morning to show us her favorite tire and deliver a message from her adoptive family: "Athena is doing great. We are halfway thru our obedience classes. I believe she is the star pupil ?. Doing great with her favorite furry cat friend, goes to doggie daycare once a week, and thriving on her raw diet. So happy we found her. This goofy dog matches our goofy family. She loves her tire and never tires of this game" - we love updates and we know you do too! Love looks good on you Athena ...
