Success StoriesThese are stories of successful matches of animals adopted from Noah's Ark with wonderful homes. If you have adopted a pet from Noah's Ark and have a success story to share, please e-mail us. My Success Story. If you have any pictures, send those along too! Sam and JenniferJennifer was asked by a friend who knew she loved golden retrievers, to go to the shelter where Sam was up for adoption. One look and she was in love with him. Sam is a 9-month old golden retriever. He was released as a puppy to the shelter, adopted, but then brought back to the shelter because he just didn't work out with his adopters. But now he is with Jennifer and two other retrievers who work in the field of pet therapy. Sam is going to be trained to be a therapy dog so he can visit people in the nursing homes. He's eager to share his love for people and will make a great therapy dog by the time he's two years old.
Bennie and SondraBennie was a stray who stayed at the shelter waiting for someone to take him home. When Sondra took him, Bennie had horrible hair and had to go to the groomer and be shaved. Who would have thought such a cute little dog was under all that hair. Now he lives in a home with three shelties and has the run of a big house and yard. He is not a sheltie. But don't tell him. He's happy and healthy. We think he might be a daschund/yorkie mix. He's probably 2-3 years old.
Penny and JenniferPenny (an Australian Shepherd) was taken to Noah's Ark after the other dogs living in her home were treating her badly. One of the shelter workers at Noah's Ark told Jennifer about Penny. They really needed to find her a good home. It was of no fault of hers that she was there, she was not a bad dog, she was scared and a very sweet dog. Jennifer tried talking several people into adopting Penny but had no takers. Jennifer decided that her yard at home was large enough for two dogs and her black lab Duke would like a new playmate. Duke the black lab is 8 years old and Penny who is about 2 keeps him young and active. Penny is such a sweet dog. She stays on patrol keeping the yard free of all rabbits and birds. Sam and MarshaMarsha had been looking for a while at Noah's Ark for the right dog to add to her pack. The dog needed to be a good watch dog since all of her current dogs were old and deaf. The dog also needed to be good with her grandkids. The workers at Noah's Ark had told her that the black dogs were harder to find homes for. She was now determined to adopt one of the black dogs. All of the dogs she looked at were great dogs and she would have taken them all if she could but there was something about Sam that stood out. Sam is a great addition and a wonderful watch dog. He keeps his older yardmate Katie young and active. Ric-O"Shea and SherrySherry made the mistake of telling Jennifer that she wouldn't mind having a Siamese kitten. So every time Noah's Ark got a Siamese kitten, Jennifer would go to Sherry's office and show her the Noah's Ark website and show her the cute Siamese cats that needed homes. It took several attempts but finally Sherry saw one that she could not resist. Ric-O"Shea (formerly Sweetpea) is a wonderful addition to Sherry's house and keeps the dog in check.
Mexican HairlessI was lost from my family but they found me and I am back at home.
Old Lady PugI was taken by Pug Rescue to live out the rest of my life.
HeidiI was taken to GRRNM (Golden Retriever Rescue of New Mexico) in Albuquerque. Once there I was taken to the vet for a check up. Thanks all who helped me and my puppies. Update: I had my black Lab puppies. I am in a wonderful foster home in Albuquerque and getting to enjoy raising my puppies. I will eventually be spayed and carefully adopted out through GRRNM to a wonderful home. Mylee and DianaMylee was adopted on August 4, 2008. She is great and gets along well with the other Boxer in the family Brandi. She was a little skinny when we got her but is already putting on weight and her injuries are healing. We were worried at first that the two dogs would not get along but Brandi is like a mom to her, and we are glad to have Mylee as a part of our family.
