Posted Wed, 07/28/2010 - 08:59 by Sarah M

Date Adopted: Sat, 09/26/2009

Breed: Pug mix

Why I chose this dog:

My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to get a dog so we were looking around and came to an adoption event and met the 2 little pug mix sisters Madelline and Annette. They were still recovering from there Mange issue but they were the cutest sweetest little girls I had ever seen. It was love at first meet!! We heard about there crazy background and the great work that Elise and Linda had done with them and knew that even though we had been only looking for one dog we couldn't split these girls up. They had come through it all together and we wanted them to forever be together. So fast forward to almost a year later Madelline now Thelma and Annette now Louise are a year and a half and are healthy as can be with full beautiful coats of hair.

Things I love about this dog

Thelma-She is a gentle soul who loves clothes out of the dryer and babies. She is fast and loves to play chase with other dogs. Louise-She is a bull in a china shop:) She loves to swim, chew bones and sleep on a nice warm lap. I could go on forever about how much we love these 2 and there antics. Everyone that meets them talks about what personalities they are. There is not a single day when I am not laughing at there antics.


Buddy

Posted Sat, 07/24/2010 - 16:22 by econtutor

Date Adopted: Sat, 07/17/2010

Breed: Boston Terrier

Why I chose this dog:

I think it would be fair to say that Buddy chose me! After giving three dogs at the mobile rescue a walk, it was clear who I was taking home. When my girlfriend and I walked him to the dog park he had one thing on his mind, lap-sitting time! From his wet kisses to how well-behaved he was, I knew that he was the one.

Buddy, even though his "tuxedo" coat is a little thread-bare at the moment, is the perfect gentleman!

Things I love about this dog

Everything, what's not to love about Buddy! He loves everybody! I can't take him out in public without being stopping for him to give loves to everyone. Everybody smiles when they see him strutting down the street. Of course, who can say no to that hilarious looking "grill". He loves to show off his bottom teeth, we call it having his "treat face" on.


Brodie

Date Adopted: Sat, 07/10/2010

Breed: Boston Terrier

Why I chose this dog:

If you have been a dog owner for a while you just know when the dog you find will be a match for your pack. Brodie seems to fit our pack. I guess the pictures will tell the story....

Things I love about this dog

Brodie like to play "tug-a-war" and he snores. You gotta love a Boston that snores!

Guanciale (formerly Queenie)

Posted Fri, 06/11/2010 - 23:43 by Matthew Gandin

Date Adopted: Sat, 01/02/2010

Breed: Boston Terrier mix (boxer?)

Why I chose this dog:

One walk around the block with her and I knew that she was the one. She is so energetic, goofy and affectionate, yet still content to just hang by my side at home, too. I couldn't have forseen how much she has become an important part of my life.

Things I love about this dog

She just has one of those faces that everyone is drawn too when I'm walking with her. So sweet and affectionate. I also love that she thinks that she is one of the big dogs and always wants to play with any dog in the park.


SCAMP AND GIZMO

Posted Sun, 05/23/2010 - 20:59 by trishamattie

Date Adopted: Thu, 12/18/2008

Breed: Shih Tzu - Terrier Mix (Border Terrier?)

Why I chose this dog:

We wanted to adopt two dogs, we thought we wanted two females and we were looking at a lot of white fluffy dogs...

When we saw the picture of Scamp and Gizmo we thought they were so darn cute, but they were boys and not white and fluffy but tan and scruffy! Plus the ad said they were babies and we wanted a 10 month to 20 month.

Well we couldn't stop thinking about these dogs so we filled the application out, met the dogs that weekend. We were actually looking and meeting the dogs before we were 100% ready, but when we met them and Wonderdog wanted us to take them home that day - WE DID! We went to the pet store and bought everything from A to Z because we had nothing.

That was the first day of the rest of our lives - and we couldn't be happier.

Things I love about this dog

Geez, this could be long - I will add day by day. W love our routine - the one that Scamp the big brother won't let us stray from, and Gizmo is so crazy with his spastic kisses, he's so affectionate and loves his belly rubbed. Scamp is very affectionate too but chooses his inner circle carefully. We love every single thing about these dogs - and spend days and hours just watching them.


Angel & Marley PICTURES

Posted Mon, 05/31/2010 - 12:19 by rebeccawhite

Date Adopted:

Breed: Maltese/poodle mix

Why I chose this dog:

These are both awesome dogs. Angel is very affectionate once she gets over her initial shyness. She doesn't bark a whole lot unless she wants attention. She needs a lot of attention and would be ideal for a retired person. She loves cuddling and snuggling down under the covers at night.

Marley is as mellow as his namesake and very sweet with Angel when when she is aggressive towards (jealous of) him.

Please help these two wonderful creatures find a good home!!!

Chula

Posted Thu, 05/27/2010 - 11:14 by Lexican

Date Adopted: Fri, 08/14/2009

Breed: Pitbull Mix

Why I chose this dog:

The conversation with my boyfriend went like this;
Me: Lets get a dog!
Boyfriend: No
Me: Please! I want a pitbull.
Boyfriend: No, smaller.
Me: I don't want a small dog I want a pitbull.
Boyfriend: No.

I looked up WONDER DOG RESCUE

Me: LOOK!!!!
Boyfriend: Yes, LOOK how big the paws are, its going to be huge.
Me: No... that's the angle of the camera.
Boyfriend: No.

Two days later;
Me: I made an appointment today with the adoption lady just so you can MEET the puppy.
Boyfriend: No big dogs.
Me: Fine you tell her that.

One hour later we had a puppy he named "Chula".

Things I love about this dog

Although I don't recommend it, in a pinch I can walk Chula anywhere with out a leash, she's a very good listener. She may be passive at home, but at the park she's a savage!
