Just wanted you to see Max - the wonder dog! I can not tell you how much we love Max and how much he loves us!!! He has gained three pounds and is just terrific! He has a GREAT day EVERY day! He chases squirrels up the tree a million times a day!!! I think he thinks he has a job. He goes out there every morning and basically stays there all day with the exception of the many times a day he runs inside full speed to give me a kiss and then runs out again at full speed. He LOVES to run and he has the best time at the dog park where he runs and runs and plays with the big dogs. He does much better with the big dogs. He is so lovable and so sweet and has a personality that is amazing. He sits and stays when we open the door and doesn’t try to run away HOWEVER we are very, very careful - just in case he gets the “urge”!!!
So, I just wanted to thank you again for Max. What was a very shy introvert has blossomed into a fabulously funny extrovert!!!— Sharon Henderson

Chico, Judy and Nora
It has been 6 months since Nora and I adopted Chico and I just wanted to let
you know that he is such a fantastic little guy and we are all very, very
happy. He came to us at a very painful time after we lost Nora’s littermate, Nick, but I tell everyone that Chico rescued us. He seemed to know from the beginning that this was going to be his “forever” home and we were his “forever” family. Nora’s spunky personality has returned and she is acting like a puppy again. We go on long walks daily and she is pulling us. After Nick’s death, she didn’t want to go out, walk or even greet anyone, but all that has changed dramatically. Chico is the most loving, devoted dog and follows me around everywhere. He is totally crazy about his
big sister, Nora and they are inseparable. He justs wants to be loved and give love. I cannot thank you enough.
I can’t imagine why he was not wanted, but I really believe that he was meant for us and was waiting (patiently) for Nora and I.— Judy Zeidler

The little black dog we adopted from Rover Rescue was originally named Snickers, but she looked like a Shirley to us, especially since we already had cats named Larry and Mo at home. Shirley adapted well to the household routine, but she was outnumbered by the cats two to one. It only seemed fair that we adopt a companion for her. Enter Shemp, a labrador/doxie mix from Rover Rescue. Now we were complete; these two dogs have added to our lives immeasurably. When we walk by the beach, they are in perfect sync, marching side by side, enjoying the view and the attention from passersby.

The Great Lover
On Valentine’s Day, 2006, I was blessed with the most genuine and sincere Valentine I had ever received, my pampered pooch, Valentino.
I had been browsing the internet when I was struck with Love at first sight. When I saw his picture, my heart melted.
Since arriving to his new forever home, Valentino has made quite a name for himself in the neighborhood. Much like his namesake, Valentino shares the nickname “The Great Lover”. He eagerly greets anyone and everyone on the street, dog park, or market with a gleeful spin and wet kisses!
It seems fitting that I will from now on celebrate Valentino’s life on the date most closely associated with Love and lovers. It was the day that I fell in Love and learned that EVERYDAY is like Valentine’s Day with him in my life!
Thank you Cathy and Rover Rescue for helping us find each other!! We will forever be grateful!

My Little Star
We adopted Blossom 2 years ago now and I really can’t imagine my life without her. She is the most amazing dog. She came from a bad situation, when Rover Rescue saved her. She has since become a celebrity and has been in the newspaper twice, one time on the very front page of the Arizona Republic. The article was about Designer Dogs, and in summary, went something like this:
“When it comes to looking chic, Blossom is as pretty as they come. Blossom is a brown and white Chihuahua belonging to Lisa Kolp who adopted her from Rover Rescue. The little dog’s life since has been filled with attention and a stylish wardrobe most people would drool over. ’When she has her pink dress on, she starts prancing around…You can tell she knows it looks adorable,’ said Kolp.”
I am so happy that I have changed this little girl’s life so much and that I can give her all the love she missed out on for the first years of her life. She is such a sweetheart and she deserves all the love in the world.

Monty Helps Kathy Deal with Cancer
I don’t know what I would have done without Monty’s love and affection as I deal with breast cancer. Even before I was diagnosed he made my life the happiest it’s ever been. Just watching him grow each day and getting smarter and smarter, braver and more loving even to my 7-year-old cat has brought me joy.
When I am fatigued and in bed for days he is right beside me, leaving only to bark at anyone at the door, go outside to do his duty or eat. He actually brings his toys to me so that we can play on the bed. He has been my reason to smile some days and laugh like never before.
Monty has helped our family become closer during this treatment and worrisome time. He has kept us distracted from waiting until the treatment will end. All this will pass and Monty and I will live a long life together. He overcame the odds and so will I.
