Parker
An update from his new family: We were thinking of you this morning when Parker looked all sad.
We think he was worried about his old buddies at Central Texas GSD Rescue. We told him
everything would be fine and he did a few tricks (for treats, of course) and he was fine.
It has been a little over 6 months now since P came to live with us and it was rocky at first. The ice
storms, the newness and not knowing if this would be his forever home or just another stop. But it
all worked out fine and he’s become such an amazing part of our lives. He is my walking buddy, my
yard work buddy, my cooking buddy and my napping buddy. He is very protective of me and is
always at my side every where I go.
He loves playing in the backyard with us and going to visit his grandparents on Galveston Island
where he can’t act crazy and enjoy the ocean surf. He has also been working really hard on
making kitty like him but she does have her issues. He hasn’t given up yet and every now and then
she shows she really does care.
I think his shining moment was his graduation from Dog Manners class where he was the star of
the group. He led our team to victory and won several of the challenges they presented.
Overall, Parker (P) is the best thing I could have ever done, he’s my best friend and I think it was
perfect timing when we came along and met each other. I have attached two pictures, one of me
after a long day of play in my new pool and one of me graduating from Dog Manners. Take care of
yourself and all of his old buddies.

Greta Garbo
An update from her new home: She is great! She is so attached already. She is still eating very well and is
learning to walk on a leash well. She got a little crazy when she saw deer last night, but, corrected well
after a little bit. We bought her some new toys and she loves them. They squeak. I am still adjusting to
having her follow me everywhere. She wants to be with us constantly. Another update:I thought you might
want to see how Greta is thriving. She has stolen our hearts. She is training well and I can take her on a
installed next week around the back yard. I cannot imagine life without her.

This sweet boy was in rescue for quite a long time before finding the wonderful home that he
deserves.

Update from his new home: This guy is a great Dog. He has come completely out of his shell and has become
a great member of the family. He has a crush on "Diva" the Mastiff down the street. We are walking everyday
and he is getting better with people, still barks and still gets a bit shy around new people, but is improving. We
go to the fenced in school lot and he runs like a fool, always leading with his head. He and my roomies dog
Dylan play all the time and have started sleeping together on my bed when I am at work.
Thank you so much for a great dog

Abby .
Her new family reports that Abby is doing great. No accidents, no issues just wonderful dog who is happy with
everyone and everything. She goes right out and does her business and back in the house where she is beautifully
behaved. Those who didn't get to meet Abby you missed a really good dog.

Paco
Paco came to his foster family as a little puppy and now he is all grown up.
He and his foster families dog, Lizzie (adopted from GSD rescue in 2005),
are best friends. They chase squirrels and birds in the yard during the day
and curl up next to each other on their dog beds at night. These two are
inseparable. Paco also shares his home with other foster dogs, cats, and
inseparable. Paco also shares his home with other foster dogs, cats, and
even chinchillas!
He's the perfect fit for their home.

combining her physical and mental exercise. If we ever actually compete in agility (we might do it locally if she
continues to enjoy it), we'll let you know so maybe you can come see her and brag on how great a dog your
adoptees turn out to be. :)

Sophie
Update from her adopters: She is doing wonderful. She has and she
She has learned a million tricks. She is so bright! She rings bells to
go out, she pushes the back door open to come back in, she wipes
her feet if it is raining outside, she sits, lays down, goes to her room
to sleep, and loves to cuddle.

tennis balls, but also her other toys! She is also a lovebug and I smooch on her every chance I
get! She was left alone for almost the whole day yesterday and she did fine. She rides with
Dean every morning to take Greyson to daycare and he said she seems to really enjoy it. When
for some scratches and rubs. This afternoon I took a nap and she got up in the bed with me and
snuggled right up next to me with her muzzle snuggled under my chin. I realize not the best habit
to start, but who can resist that! :-) She sleeps in our bedroom through the night and noses me
in the morning (if I'm not already up) when she is ready to go potty and eat. She is an absolute
love and is doing wonderfully!

Bella
We made it home to Cypress safe and sound on Sunday. We took a family vote and everyone decided to go
ahead with the name Bella instead of Stella. She did okay in the car on the way home and she seems to fit
right in with the
family. The kids love her but she seems to like to hang around me the most so far. I think she's probably still
a little nervous about the whole move.
Thank you so much for working with us to bring home this beautiful little dog. She is such a good girl and I
think we are all going to really enjoy having her as part of our family!

Cash - Here is an update on Cash 1 yr later -
"I wanted to give you an update and apologize for not writing sooner. My big boy CASH (now
92 lbs) is now an ambassador for the Greater Houston German Shepherd Dog Rescue. He
has welcomed several foster dogs into our home along with his sister Carlee, who was adopted
around the same time as CASH in February 2007.
Cash is doing great and he has helped me through several new challenges, including a move
to a new home with acreage. He does an excellent job leading the pack around the "yard" and
through the barn to the back acreage. He does get upset when one of the smaller dogs gets
through the doggie door first so you'll occasionally hear him talking about it. He is my scout as
he hangs to the corners of the room so he can see all the activity. He also protects me when I
am on the riding mower working the property. Many a time you can find him following the
mower or sitting under the shade tree, until I get too far away and then he relocates for a
better view.
Cash has done a great job in accepting the other foster dogs. He does let me know when he
needs some alone time with me and I make sure to give him lots and lots of love.
He has been a fantastic addition to my family and has helped me through the loss of my
previous GSD. I look forward to many years with CASH.
I just wanted to thank Dane for being that emergency foster for several months. Beverly you
do a great job for Central Texas and I sure do hope our new Houston based group can work
with Central Texas to continue finding great permanent homes for these GSDs that end up in
shelters.
Here are a few updated photos of CASH and friends. Thanks again for allowing me this
opportunity to bring CASH into my home
