Jesse (formerly known as Bo) has been with us for 2 years now. Gone is the shy, tentative guy we carted home from DC that day. Today we have a confident, happy dog who thinks he’s made it to dog heaven!

He spends his week days lounging close by while I work from home.

Weekends he’s with us on outings, family visits and leisurely car rides. His heart is big enough that he’s “adopted” a few neighbors who recently lost their dogs. He tolerates their cuddles and coaches them on how to give doggie massage. He is very social – is wonderful with our grandchildren and accepting of visitors – human or canine.

He has a penchant for snow and mud…loves to run and then roll in what ever is nearby to cool off!

He has full run of the house when we’re not home – and is so joyful when we return. Jesse meets us at the door with a toy in his mouth and two minutes of his unique grumbling.

We can’t thank you enough for rescuing this guy. He’s a beautiful dog – inside and out!

We adopted Ahby, then Meg, as a puppy in September 2008. She is the most lovable dog we have ever known!

Bixby is a 1-year-old lab/chow/??? mix. We adopted him in July of 2009, as Kelso, when he was 6 months old. We told Homeward Trails what we wanted in a dog, and they matched us up perfectly and quickly.

Everything is going great. He is well behaved and has a special relationship with every member of the family, especially with our daughter, age 10. We love him. Thank you, Homeward Trails!
