Captain is an elite member of Hope Rescues first rescue.  And he
was the first Hope Rescue member to find his forever home.  He
was such a wonderful gentle dog and he kept his crate very, very
neat.  A young couple came to us looking for a little dog.. and they
went home with Captain.. all 70+ pounds of him....
My name is Lacey Dodd.  My husband Eric and myself
adopted Captain, a two year old, a year ago last month. I
was really afraid that we had made a bad decision one
because of his size and two because of his age. We
went there to look for a small breed dog and as it turned
out we took home the biggest dog they had at the time.
He weighed 72 pounds at the time and came up to my
hips when standing up. It was impossible not to fall in
love with him though. The cutest thing about him was that
he has a bobbed tail, and when he's excited his whole
body wiggles because of his lack of tail. His favorite
thing to do on the weekends when he's ready for us to
get out of bed is to stick his cold nose on Eric's back.
Needless to say, he usually succeeds in waking us both
up. He has been such a joy to have in our home and I
wouldn't change our decision to get him for anything. If
anybody out there is afraid to adopt a dog that isn't a
puppy don't be. He was 2 years old and completely
house broken and trained. Thank you Hope Rescue.

Dooney (aka Lucky Girl) was found on the door step by a
Good Samaritan who gave her food and water. After
taking in the nourishment from this kind person Lucky left
and one by one brought her puppies to this good person's
house for her to save as well.  Homes were found for all
the puppies and then she called us to see if we would take
the mommy.  The lady's little girl named Mommy "Lucky"
so we kept the name.  When she was found, Lucky was
underweight and had an imprint around her neck where a
chain had been her permanent restraint.  But now "Lucky
Girl is very happy with a new "leash" on life with a most
loving and happy home.

Hi Jackie and Kim,
I just wanted to update you on our little girl Dooney, known to you as Lucky Girl.
She has been such a joy to have as a pet. She's always so excited to see us
when we get home and she loves to go outside and play with her big brother
Captain. She really loves to snuggle with Captain at night. Captains not always
real hip on the idea, but he's getting better about it. If we had the room, I'd take
even more of your rescues home. I love that we could help by saving two of them
though. We'll write again soon.    Lacey and Eric
