Do you have a story to tell about your dog? Please take a moment to read the stories of our friends and share a story of your friend. |
| Dog Orphans started its mission in 1971. From the beginning people have donated money, supplies and their time in keeping a dream of Gertrude and Arthur Adams a reality. It is now 1999, 28 years later, and we still are blessed with the support of many. Today we would like to take the time to thank Arlen Hall and Josh Knapper for their generosity and thoughtfulness. Arlen came to Dog Orphans in December 1998 to adopt a dog. After seeing our orphans he chose a sweet Dalmatian named Libbi. His application was reviewed and we decided that Arlen and his family would give Libbi a good home. Arlen later informed us that he owned a computer software company in Northbridge, Mass. named Rainbow Software Solution Inc. and that he would be able to help us in finding a computer. Several months later he donated a computer system, designed and donated a web site, and also provided us with an on going support person - Josh Knapper. Dog Orphans' staff and board members would like to thank both Arlen and Josh for their hard work, dedication and ongoing support. Because of them many people are now aware of our organization and we have been receiving many phone calls and e-mails inquiring about our orphans and our adoption process. We highly recommend Arlen and his services to anyone. His company can be seen at www.RainbowSoftware.com. Thanks Again!!! |
| Goliath joined our family just a week ago on January 11,2000. Our boys have given him the formal name of Clifford Goliath. Goliath's heart is as big as his size. A stray, very little was known about him. Goliaths weighs in at a mere 113 lbs and he is only about a year old. When we saw him we knew he belonged with all of us. He fits right in with our two rugged boys, Sean and Matthew. He is well behaved and loves to lay in your lap. He loves to wake Mommy up several times a night by gently wrapping his large paw around her head. Thus, Goliath has received his first nickname- Sir Swat-a-lot!! We love him so much and he is already a member of our family that could never be replaced. Thank you to everyone at Dog Orphans. Thank you to Shannon for picking him out at the Leicester Dog Pound. Ron, you are doing such a good thing. There are so many dogs that need to be loved. But the most beautiful thing about it is that the dogs give you back so much more!! Goliath is happy, we are overjoyed, and now you have room for someone new to find a home. Advice for new shoppers, ADOPT DON'T BUY!! There is something special about a pound pup!! Thanks again!! David, Susan, Sean & Matthew |
| Thanks so much for adding Bess to our lives. She is a joy and has developed a wonderful relationship with our two Shelties. She is incredibly affectionate and loving and has definitely made this her home. We will definitely recommend Dog Orphans to our friends who wish to adopt. |
| Thank-you so much for Ruckus. He has certainly lived up to his name but he is a big joy for our family. He loves all the attention and has settled in quite nicely. His favorite past time was trash picking but our child saftey locks have put an end to that. Spaghetti O's was his favorite! He's excellent!! Thanks - Again! |
| We would like to thank Ron and Shannon at Dog Orphans. You two were both so wonderful with the adoption. He has adapted so well from being an outside dog to being an inside dog, he loves to snuggle on a blanket in the livingroom. He has already met his best new dog friend. His name is Wyatt, a beautiful German Shephard who is the same age as Otto. It has only been 3 days and he is already a major part of our family. Thanx again!!!! |
| We would like to let Ron and Shanon know how well Zoe is doing. She is a joy to have. Zoe is like one of the family. We would like to thank Dog Orphans for the work they have done and continue to do. The work that they do allow many dogs the chance to find good homes. Without them we would have never found such a wonderful and special dog like Zoe. Thank you again. Judy, Fred, Mathew, Ashley, Freddy, and Zoe. |
| We adopted Holly three years ago this november and she is a wonderful dalmation. She is very good with our two young children and has adapted well to the new kitten we adopted from you this past July. She is a important part of our family. We are truely blessed to have her in our lives thanks to the wonderful work that you do at Dog Orphans everyday. Keep up the good work because you are truely appreciated. |
| Just a note to let you know that Champ is fine. He loves us (I believe) and we love him. He is a perfect match of we wanted: much better trained than we aniticipated. He is my not-too-large baby!! |
| Hi- Chloe has fit right into our family just perfectly! We all love her and she seems to think we're ok too! She keeps the boys busy and the boys keep her busy - a match made in heaven! She's had a couple of lessons from K-9 University and probably will have a couple more - boy what a difference! We all enjoy her soooo much!! We would like to thank everyone at Dog Orphans, especially Shannon who answered all our questions and concerns and her great knowledge and love for the dogs. Thanks Again! |
| We lost our beloved "Bubba" to cancer the first week of December and we were devestated and thought we would never get another dog. "Bubba" had his picture taken with "Santa Paws" at the Dudley Nursery 2 days before he passed on. That is where I met some wonderful people from Dog Orphans. The next few weeks were long and extremely lonely, and so one day I looked you up on the internet, and came across a face that just melted my heart. The next day I went to your "orphanage" and saw a face the we KNEW belonged with us. Harley. We brought our kids to meet Harley and they all just loved one another. So Harley was to be part of our family. Harley has been with us for 2 months and has brought us much happiness and has filled a "void" that we never thought would be filled. Harley loves to give kisses, sit on your lap..(he's a 68 pound lap dog!) and just in general love the person that's sitting next to him. He's doing very well, and it did not take him long to adjust in our home. As a matter of fact, our cat Hewey loves to give him baths while laying on Harley's bed. Thank you Dog Orphans for giving us another member of the family!!! |
| We got our beloved dog sometime in June. He has been excellent with me and my sister,brother and parents. One of my cats likes him but the other one hisses because she has had a hard life. Something funny about my dog is that if he see's a dog or we just feel like it we howl. Tyson howl's along with us. He is a wonderful and loving dog. Thank you dog orphanage for giving us Tyson!!!!!!!! |
| We adopted waldo from dog orphans years ago before they moved to Douglas. He was a big Akita/Shep mix. He was the best dog and very adaptable, He went to and passed obedience school at age 5! But the cutest thing was after I had my twins, he was like their special guardian. He used to count them as we brought them in from the car and if one was missng because they stayed at grandmas house he would pace and stress out until they came home. He was the best family dog you could ever ask for. Devoted, loyal and trustworthy. Why he was given up we will never know but he was our angel in disguise and we are thankful to have had him. Thanks to dog orphans giving hope to dogs on their "last leg" we had years of wonderful memories. |
| Dear Shannon & Ron, Just wanted you to know that Helena is doing very well with us. I can't believe we've had her almost 2 years! She has great manners and is a total people dog. While we have to keep our other two dogs apart from her, she is a terrific companion - smart, playful and loyal. Hope you are all well. Take Care, Carla Horn |
| my family and i would lik to thank the dog orphans for our little mut maxie. she just turned 1 and she loves to play! she also likes to go swimming in our pool, never seen a dog do that before!! we absolutly love her to death and thank you very much for giving us the highlight of our lifes thank you kindly, the Ayoub Family |
| Hi, For about all my life I have wanted a dog. And about two months ago I presuaded my mom to let me get one. So one weekend we went to your shelter. And I found the cutest little beagle sunshine. And she came home with us two days later. She is now the love of my life. Thank you so much. Haillee |
| We got Maya about a 1 12 ago. We had a dog called Bear for 14 yr. Me not wanting another dog but my daughter wanted to go looking up at dog orphans for one. So we went into the kennel, the frist dog i saw was standing up on the door of the kennel. i walked right by it knowing that she had trouble staying down of people. I took almost every dog in the kennel out to the pen. they all wanted to dig out of it,none of them wanted to play. so i went back in and said there is nothing that i wanted today. The girl that was working that day say to me Did You See that dog in the frist kennel?? i said yes i did. She said why don't you take her out there? i said she is going to be trouble,because of the way she was standing in the kennel. so she talked me in to taking her out there, at frist she was ready to run. i got her into the pen and she run a min. then she stop, and saw that there was some toys in the middle. she run over took a ball and took it to me. and wanted to play. So i said well we'll give her a try. It was the best thing i did she has turned out to fill the hole that bear left behind, and has become my best friend she go'g every where i go. and i go where she go's. We have lots of fun together she is a great dog she has no bad habbit,except my wife dosen't like it when she4 sleep's in the bed, but she never kicks her off!!! so TNX'S for having her there. Joe |
| I rescued Mickey, a terrier mix, from the Dog Orphans shelter in March, 1994, when it was located in Upton, MA. Mickey was about 1 year old. Given that he had been left at the shelter by his original owner and adopted briefly and unsuccessfully (returned to the shelter after 1 week), the Dog Orphans staff was extremely concerned that his placement with me be the right one. Needless to say, I made a commitment to Mickey on that day and have been very grateful ever since. He is the best dog who is a devoted and loyal companion with a wonderful personality and a great disposition. He continues to amaze me every day while always providing a constant source of comfort and joy! |
| As another one of my birthdays approach, we also celebrate our 4th year with Bob. In those 4 years our family and Bob have had to make many adjustments, but it was all worth it. Here is an update on Bob. We moved to our 11 acre farm in Rhode Island last year. The addition of more goats, chickens, horses and evan geese have given Bob many hours of chasing pleasure. We think it's all in fun as he hasn't caught or hurt anyone yet. He and his small sidekick, Kiwi get plenty of run time out in the fields. But she is in charge and he accepts that. They share toys and rawhide without incident. Bob is also the embassador of goodwill in the neighborhood. Most mornings he visits the family across the street, banging on the front door with his tail to be let in. After his hello and a treat, he moves along. He seems very popular. As I mentioned in a previous tale, life would not be the same without him. He is very much loved and spoiled. We are grateful to the Dog Orphan's staff for taking such good care of him. |
| We adopted Alex (nickname Goose)back in August of 1988 when the orphange was in Upton. She was a Beagle mix, when we took her home she weighted just four lbs. She went everywhere with us, I used to zip her up in my coat and carry her around. She of course grew from a fun puppy to a loving adult. This past summer was very difficult, we had to put Alex down. We had her in our family for a delightful 14 years. My husband and I miss her so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think about her. We still laugh about the silly little quirks she used to have. I think she thought she was human. I just wanted to take a moment to commend you for all hard work you do trying to place these dogs. Keep up the good work!!! We'll be in touch when we are "ready" for another dog. Sincerely, THE LEO's |
| WE ADOPTED GINGER IN NOV 2002. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER. SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST ANIMATED DOGS YOU'LL EVER MEET. SHE MAKES US LAUGH ON A DAILY BASIS. SHE HAS LEARNED NEW TRICKS SINCE WE ADOPTED HER AND IS LISTENING MUCH BETTER. SHE IS ALSO VERY SPOILED. WE TAKE HER TO PETSMART AND SHE SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE TOY AISLE IS. WE GO FOR LONG WALKS AND GIVE HER LOTS OF LOVE. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK RON FOR ADDING GINGER TO OUR LIVES. WE COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER DOG. |
| (5.19.03)Dear Shannon and Ron, Helena is doing great! She is so playful and loyal. She loves to sleep on the couches and the beds. I think her favorite activity is stealing socks and then running around crazily, while we try to get them from her :) She is such a joy to have in our lives, and I am very thankful we found her. Thanks! Sincerely, Paige Horn |
| my dog has ben with me for 6 years now but erey time i see him is like i just got him |
| It's just short of three weeks since I adopted Lucky! What a find he was! In fact, I had considered changing his name, but realized that his name means Lucky for the two of us....me for finding him, and him for finding me!! The first few days were rough ones....he "sprayed" on every piece of upholstered furniture in my living room, and I had to sleep on the couch for 4 days because my cats would not come out from under my bed! My cats, Lucky, and myself have had to make some adjustments but now we couldn't be happier. Lucky has also given new life to my daughter's "older" dog. The two dogs, and now the cats too, play constantly. I feel as though I run a nursery school for animals! Lucky has the best personality I think I've ever seen in a dog. He's always happy, always "smiling". My family and I, and our pets too, enjoy Lucky so much, and he enjoys our company too. I don't know Lucky's previous owner, but if you could, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let them know that Lucky has found a home, and we have found a wonderful pet. The care and training you provided him is evident, and I appreciate your efforts. Thank you so much for this wonderful dog!!!! Shirley Sullivan |
| We met Princess Ragen a few weeks ago and she is a 9 wk old lab mix. She stold our hearts and breath the first time we met her. A week later we took her home. She has been a wonderful addition to our loving family. She is a delite everyday of the week. She wake about 6 am and plays all day long with her three children ages 17 14 and 5 . She keeps us all on our toes.She spends time outside playing and running and loves to go for walks. She has been a blessing for my daughter who has depression she keeps her happy all day long . Miss Princess Ragen is a bundle of joy and a relieve to this family |
| Only a week ago chloe joined our family of four college students, and quite many more great friends. she is doing absolutely amazing. teh amount of love that she has been recieving(and always will) is incredible. everyone thinks that she is the most beautiful, intelligent and loving dog. she personally is my dog, but she gained so many other people who consider her a big part of their lives. Chloe has ajusted so well, i cannot believe it. she went from being in the shelter for awhile, and now she gets along so well with up to twenty people at a time, but do not worry i do not let her get overwhelmed, she loves it. she is my partener for life now, i cannot imagine a day without her around. she has been very alert in protecting me and my friends, and we protect her and make sure hat she gets a belly rub whenever she wants. she sits here beside me now as i scratch under her ears, i am sure that she wants all of you to know that she is so happy and getting so much love everyday. Thank you so much to all the people at dog orphans, you have been absolutely amazing, I have never seen a shelter that has loved and cared for their homeless animals as much as you, thank you again for my amazing companion, Chloe and I will be best of freinds forever, her kisses and loyalty have given all of us so much joy and happiness, and we know that she will feel the same way. thanks again, Chloe says "Hi" |
| Oreo is a great dog. He has settled into his new home after being at the shelter for two years. |
| I adopted Sagan in December of 1998. She is a Shepard Mix. We think that she is part human part canine and is a very important part of our family. She is sensitive, smart, and beautiful. Whenever we take her out for walks, we always get comments on how beautiful she is. We are proud of her!! Her favorite things are going on horseback rides with me - she runs, I ride, walking around the neighborhood, watching the birds in the backyard, and chasing squirrels. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for giving me the opportunity to adopt this dog. - Alison, Elliott, and John |
| Our family got homer about a year ago now. He picked us when we went to go look at him. He has been such a great dog. We are so happy he has joined out family. Homer gets to go to work every day on a golf course (now in new york) and chases geese off the property. When we got homer he did not like to play to much, it almost seemed he did not know how but now he has a bear that he loves to death and plays with out son chasing the bear back in forth on the golf course. We are so happy to have been given the chance to be homers parent and new home. He has certainly brought us alot of joy and peace in our family. We tell everyone we know about dog orphans and what they are doing. Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful dog and a new addition to our family. Chris, Marissa and Cameron |
| In February 2002, we saw Willie's picture on your web site and it was love at first site. When we met him in person, our first impression was "wow.. he's a BIG dog!" but he had such a friendly personality that we knew he was the perfect fit. We brought him home a few days later and after sniffing around the house for a few minutes he fell fast asleep on the new doggie bed we bought for him. He's been the love of our life ever since. Everyone that meets Willie can't believe what a good dog he is... people just seem to gravitate towards him because they can tell he's just a happy go lucky fella. He's got the best temperment in the world and has never caused a minute of trouble since he came into our lives. He still loves to 'shake a paw' and have his belly rubbed. We bring him on vacation with us to Martha's Vineyard and he gets lots of attention because he looks like the official "Black Dog" on everyone's t-shirts. He takes all the attention in stride and just smiles when the kids want to pet him. He is part of our family and we think he's just the BEST! We can't even begin to imagine what could have happened if Dog Orphans didn't exist and Willie never found his way to our home. Thank you for all you do! |
| Bixby is such a character. He became instantly attached to our family. He can't get pet enough. If you stop petting him, he'll lay his big floppy head in your lap. You can't help but chuckle and pet him some more. Even our 10 lb. cat has taken to him quite well. They chase each other around the yard. It's funny to watch the cat chase him too. We love him very much and can't imagine not having him as part of our family. He loves to run in the state forrest. We believe that he thinks the it all belongs to him. He chases and barks at any wildlife that is roaming in his vicinity. He is very protective and barks at anything tresspassing through the yard. Even blowing leaves. Bix makes us laugh quite often and constantly shows us how much he loves us. |
| Jada has been with me for a week now and is doing great. What a spoiled girl she is. She is very happy and loves her home. She goes to the farm every day and is very good with all kinds of animals. She loves people and is very loyal. Already she has become very protective of me and keeps an eye on my every move. She spends all but 5 hours a day right by my side, except for the weekends when she is with me all day. She is learning very quickly and already has learned a couple new tricks. She really is a joy and I cant imagine being without her another day in my life. I love her so much and have never been this happy. We make a great team and I think that we were truely meant to be together. I can't thank Dog Orphans enough. |
| We adopted Bess from Dog Orphans in July 2000. She was our first adopted dog and gave me my introduction to shelter and rescue work. She is a great representative of a beagle, all nose and completely fun loving. At 7years old she still has the energy and antics of a young dog. Bess now has 2 more beagle buddies to share her life and has befriended a number of foster beagles over the past few years. Her love of life and kindness has helped her beagle 'sisters' recover from their abuse and neglect. She can teach any dog how to play! I want to let you know that I will always remember the day I took that rather long ride to Dog Orphans, met, and was chosen by Bess, to give her a forever home. Thank you Ron and Dog Orphans for adding so much to my life. |
| My daughter & I have been visiting Dog Orphans 1-2 times a month for the last 6 months looking for that "someone special" to join our household. We finally found her. It was love at first sight. She knew right away that we belonged to her. This is the perfect match for our family and for Annie. We just click. It took us a long time to find her, and it was worth the wait. Just like having a baby, you cant remember your life before or without her. Thank you Dog Orphans for bringing Annie into our lives. Sincerely, The Leveille Family |
| Casey came to us at the end of November 2004. He is a beautiful buff colored cocker spaniel, who is also blind. Casey has had a hard life and it has been hard for him to accept new people in his life. But he gets better every day. It is such a joy to come home and have him greet us with a wagging tail. He gets along great with our other cocker named Harley. They are best buddies.Casey can be a lot of work with all his eye meds, but he is worth it. We absolutly love him, and we know he loves us too. We are so glad we found him. Thank you dog orphans for giving us Casey!!! |
| It's an unfortunate fact that pet owners often outlive their pets, so when my husband and I lost one of our much loved English Springer Spaniels to cancer, we didn't think we could be "parents" to any more dogs. As fate would have it though, one of the Board members of Dog Orphans called me (thank you, Evelyn!) and informed me that an English Springer Spaniel had just been dropped off at the kennel. We went to see him and it was love at first sight. Buddy is now a much loved member of our family, a constant companion and provider of fun for our other Springer, Elmo, and a source of entertainment for all those who cross his path. We can't imagine our lives without him. |
| It's been a while since Bear joined our family, but we haven't forgotten Ron and the great experience we had at Dog Orphans. Bear is doing so well...she is still very shy, and as we have learned this is a trait of the breed that will never completely go away. She has come out of her shell so much, you wouldn't know she was the same timid creature I brought home! She is particularly attached to me (Robin), so much so that she is also known as Velcro-Dog. She has many names: Slinky (when strangers are around-we're working on getting rid of this name), Bear-Bones (sung to the BAD BOYS theme from Cops just for fun, and Kangaroo Dog for her ability to come up the stairs and only touch down once! We have started private lessons to help with her fear of strangers, and will hopefully be in classes with other people soon. She learns so quickly and is so very smart, too smart sometimes, like learning how to open the door to the the deck so she can try to let herself out. She is a handful, but is also full of love and affection. I am hoping to begin agility training with Bear once we get through our obedience and socialization classes. She's going to be a champion! She gets along well with her new older sister Heidi (I am sending a picture), and takes great joy in terrorizing the cat, Cocoa. But don't worry about the cat, Bear has never harmed her, and Cocoa takes equal joy in waiting on the back of the couch for Bear to go by and then using Bear as a springboard before the chase begins. Yes, the house is a zoo! I hope that people will give other dogs like Bear a chance to join a loving home. She was such a timid little thing when we first saw her, and a more than a little intimidating when she barked in her kennel, that I am sure she was overlooked by many people. I won't say it is always easy, you have to make the time and have patience with dogs, like Bear, that have issues with trust. But seeing her trust grow and watching her learning to play and enjoy life is well worth it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. On behalf of Bear, Thank you, Robin & Bob |
| 8/15/05 - Thanks to Dog Orphans, my family has a wonderful, playful yet protective, and goofy addition in our family. Candice and Ron helped me, my six-year-old son and my husband adopt Miss Emmy about three weeks ago. I think it only took a day or two for Miss Emmy to adopt us! Talk about a match made in heaven. Miss Emmy and my son, Andrew have become the best of friends in such a short time. Where one goes, the other can be found (most of the time in the stream chasing frogs). I cannot imagine our hosehold without Miss Em any more than I could imagine it without Andrew. Thank you Candice, Ron and Dog Orphans. |

| We met juno in early August 2005. we quickly fell in love with him and had to adopt him. At first him and the cat didnt get along but have made progress and are getting better. We also soon found out that Juno could jump the 6 ft fence that sourrounds his kennel. He is a loving dog that loves attention, car rides and treats. Juno and I love walking in the woods that surround my house looking for other creatures. We have come in contact with many deer and he doesnt know what to do. Overall i am pleased to say that adopting Juno was the best thing I have done. Thanks |
| Why did you pull my dog's tail? |
| We took Zepplin home in February of 2006 and what a blast he has been! He likes to sleep in comfort, no floors for him - couches and beds only. He especially likes popcorn and movie time with our son (they lay in bed and enjoy almost every night)and playing outside with our daughter. He snores VERY loud, likes to eat oranges and bananas, sleeps stretched out on the sunporch soaking in the sun - plays with all his toys, his tennis balls being his favorite! Overall Zepplin has been a great addition to our family. He fit in easily and quickly to our routine, being super loveable, especially to our 9 year old daughter. He steals her toys when she doesn't pay enough attention to him (according to Zepplin), but she will just say, as she pats him and kisses him "Oh Zepplin, you are just such a bad boy, my sweet baby..." Please!!!! He is definitely spoiled - but with his super sweet manner you can't help but spoil him. You can touch his mouth, ears, stomache, kiss him on the lips and he doesn't care - as long as he is getting love he is like putty in your hands!!! We love him |
| Hi to all at Dog Orphans. We just wanted to update you on Shea. We first saw him on your website and decided to make a visit to your shelter. I think we knew within the first half hour we wanted to take him home. As it turns out, it was surely the right decision. He's a great dog! He settled right into our house like he'd been here for years. We bought him a really nice dog bed but he looked at it and decided "no" I want the old quilt lying next to it. He loves it. When he comes back from his walks around the neighborhood getting to know all his new dog friends, the first thing he does is roll all around on it and take a little nap. I have to say he has a very fast pace when he walks. He'll even run if you run with him. He's getting better with commands, also. He's very smart. He's learning not to be so anxious when he sees a treat but to wait until you give it to him after he sits or gives his paw. He's done this well in only three days (we adopted him April 30). We put him on a holistic low fat dog food, so we're hoping he can lose a few pounds, even though we love him as is. We'll keep you updated about him, but he's doing great so far. Thank you Dog Orphans, and especially you Sandy, for taking such good care of him and letting us have him in our lives. Sharon, Paul and Jason Bangs P.S. He just ignores the cat although she is still a little scared of him. |
| Just wanted to let you know how fortunate we feel that Dakota has come into our lives. She came home with us on June 3rd and has settled right in. She is such a love and just wants to be patted all the time. She enjoys her walks in the woods and all her toys that she plays with. It was destiny that brought us to Dog Orphans to find Dakota. Also Dakota would like to send a HI to Montana. Again thank you so very much. |
| Just an update on Dakota. We were so fortunate the day our path led to Dog Orphans and we found Dakota. She has added so much to our lives. She is the most loving dog we have ever had. Dakota has adapted very well to her new surroundings. She will sit by our glass door to watch the squirrels, birds, turkeys, chipmonks and our resident groundhog. She loves to go on walks out into the woods where there are a lot of interesting smells for her to investigate. Dakota does like her comforts though. She has 2 beds downstairs and has decided that she likes our bed upstairs where she can look out the windows and see everything that is going on. We will be forever grateful for finding Dakota and in being able to adopt her. She has become a very integal part of our family!!!! |
