     Without Rescue Me, I would not have been successful in finding a furever home for Foxy. There were lots of interested folks, but I was able to narrow it down to the best family for Foxy. His new family loves him very much! Foxy has a home with a fenced yard, a new mom and dad, a lab/husky playmate and three teenagers to love him and take care of him. He is one lucky dog because his new family are active outdoors and take him everywhere! Thank you so much Rescue Me!

     I lost my sweet companion of 16 plus years. As time moved on, I realized I cannot function without a canine partner so I started searching Rescue Me for a new partner. While on vacation, I decided to see if there was anything and I found little Willow the Shiba Inu on Rescue Me. I was able to call on her and received a return call from Michelle right away, which I was pleasantly surprised at and we arranged to meet that afternoon. The minute I met her I knew she was the right one, but I had competition! Thankfully, I was gifted with the choice and Willow began her life with me by having to travel all the way from Utah to Washington State the next day! She did beautifully! Two long days of driving, a night in a hotel, meeting all kinds of people and other dogs... She handled it like a trooper. On arriving here, she began meeting even more people here in my apartment complex of elders who just love her to bits. She loves the attention. This speaks well for the care she received at the hands of Michelle and her family. Willow is adjusting very well and today, greeted me after my return from work with some hysterically funny yowling, very chatty and happy. There is no doubt in my mind, she's right for me. I look forward to many happy years with her and am thankful for Michelle and Rescue Me. I would have never had this joy without you. Thank you!

     My foster Mom could no longer care for me. A very special person has sponsored me for heartworm disease treatment to be completed at the Humane Society so that I can beat this disease (my foster mom's dream). I will be in a loving, adoptive, cat-free home before the age of three! Many people helped me to come this far, and I'm slowly moving toward my healthy, happy destiny. Thank You for posting me, Rescue Me.

     The hardest decision I made in a long time was to rehome my loyal friend. Life's changes have caused different focuses and my poor little girl got the short end of the deal. I definitely wanted to make sure she would have a good home to go to. Within 12 hours of posting on Rescue Me, I had four emails and a call. I had the ability to selectively interview people to make sure she found the perfect home, and she did. It helps knowing that her new parents are loving and will take care of her every need. Thanks Rescue Me!

     I so appreciate having Rescue Me available to help people find new homes for their pets. It was easy and, within 24 hours, I started to get inquiries about Ellie. Everyone who contacted me seemed caring and genuine about their interest in Ellie. Ellie found a new home with a great couple who seemed to be a perfect fit for her. I will miss her, yet I know she will be with people that will take good care of her and love her!

     After a foster home and a failed re-homing attempt it was clear that Lelo needed to be in a one dog household. Barbara and Maurice saw her post on Rescue Me and immediately called for more information. They were so anxious meet her that they altered their travel plans. Maurice was looking for a walking partner, which is one of Lelo's favorite past-times. Love this Site!

     Thank you to the operators of this Rescue Me site and its patrons. Chase was so close to being euthanized if a home could not be found for him. It came down to less than 24 hours left to save his life. I ended up getting such a huge response that, after sorting through the many replies, a great family was able to be found and a life was able to be saved. Thank you all again. I couldn't have done it without all those who share the undying love for these beautiful dogs.

I had a response to Kobe's post on Rescue Me! the same day I posted. Although I am very sad without my sweet baby, I know he is with a new family that will love him, and they are also going to let us visit. Thank you so much again. Sincerely, Michelle

     Thank you to the family that had Ray. He's a sweet, playful and curious dog. He's quickly adjusting to life in downtown and meeting and being social with lots of friends. Ray has not shown any signs of aggression and has become very comfortable in his new home. What a great companion to have!

     I was contacted by Robert from Tri State Shiba Rescue in regards to this little girl. She had been abandoned in our neighborhood. After a few conversations back and forth he put us in contact with someone in Missouri that offered to foster her. The foster, Chelsea, had lost her Shiba Inu to illness a few weeks prior, and as we talked it became obvious that she loved this little girl. Chelsea and I have kept in touch and they have decided to keep her! If it wasn't for Rescue Me! I don't know if we would have found such a great home for her. Thank you so much! Crystal Buttron

     Shinyuu is now living on the east coast of FL. His new family is terrific with lots of love, space and caring to share! We are so grateful for Rescue Me!, all its supporters and the wonderful people that make these adoptions an easier transition. The special person that has Shinyuu now will no doubt give him all the love and spoiling he has grown accustomed to, and then some! He will also have another dog to play and hang out with. I'm so happy and relieved to know he's in such good hands! Thank you again to everyone that made this possible, and special gratitude to Shinyuu's new owner - Therese! What a blessing.

     Thanks to Rescue Me! we found a fabulous home for Storm quickly and easily! It's difficult to find a quality owner for the Shiba Inu breed. With their strong stubborn and independent personality, it takes just the right person to step into the Alpha role and train them. Thanks to this organization, I was able to find just the right family!

     Jeff, We have a wonderful loving addition to our family! Suki Aya fit right in the with our family. You could tell that she was well loved and taken care of, but the owner just had life changing events that prevented her from keeping Suki with her. I promised her that Suki's home would be full of love and caring, which has proved to be true of both Suki to us, and us to Suki! Thanks for providing us a great avenue to find our wonderful Suki Aya Shiba Inu! Mara

     Well I have had 'Faithy' now for quite a while, 5 yrs, but do to my divorce and health, I could no longer keep her, and so I wanted to make sure I found her a great loving home, and that is when I found Rescue Me site, I posted her picture and information about her, and not even within 10 minutes I received a phone call from someone that was very interested in her, we discussed her and her personality etc for a few minutes, he sounded extremely excited and I was a little apprehensive, & I was going to miss her so badly! However all that calmed down when he came in and met her for the first time, she went up to him and licked him on the face which is NOT something she normally does to a stranger, that made me feel a little more at ease, I did cry when she was about to leave and gave her a big hug and kiss, and then they took her home, and she has been taken to the vet, and groomed, and gotten her teeth cleaned, and she is once again in a LOVING HOME! and I could not thank Rescue Me enough, for helping me find that perfect LOVING HOME for her!!! He Loves Faithy and Faithy LOVES HIM!!!! And I am SO Relieved!!!! Belle

     Chester was an escape artist that was harassing and fighting with neighborhood dogs when he got out. We could not get our fence secure enough to keep him in! After listing Chester on Rescue Me, a couple emailed whom already had a Shiba and wanted another as a companion. They had a big yard, a secure fence, and after meeting them we knew they would be good for Chester. We are very happy that Chester has found a good home with people that have time for him and a companion Shiba!

     The Rescue Me site helped us find a family to adopt both Dante & Kizen, allowing them to stay together. After several weeks of trying to find a home for the boys they were headed to a shelter when we posted them on the Rescue Me site. The Diaz family saw their profiles, contacted us, and adopted both of them at their initial meet & greet. Wonderful outcome - the boys found a new home within a few days of posting. Thank You for your site, and to the Diaz family!

     I cannot thank Rescue Me! enough!! Within 24 hours, I found the perfect home for our little Shiba Inu pup, Sheebu. She was adopted by a family that has 2 young daughters, a 1 1/2 year old Shiba Inu male pup in need of a companion, and a wonderful, caring young couple who will give her a fantastic family life. And, I have made a new friend in the process - Sheebu's new 'Mom'! Thank you for providing this wonderful service.

     I have a bunch of people who are interested in him. I am actually surprised that I had such a response for him. He is a good dog, but I know how hard it is to adopt out dogs. He has been in the house alone for about a month now needed to be placed in the next week or two. I have two dogs of my own, or I would have taken him in myself. I am grateful for the response of people interested in Jack that use Rescue Me! I have heard of it, but wasn't sure how popular the site was until now.

     Dear Jeff, Thank you so much for your website. It was very easy to create a search that found a perfect fit for us. After a Shiba Inu mix we were hoping to adopt from a shelter 90 minutes away was adopted by someone else first, I found your site. There were three Shiba Inus listed within two hours of us. Kenta was only 15 minutes away! His owner was extremely gracious and we are thrilled to have such a wonderful addition to our family! We never would have known he needed a home even though he was so close to us. I will donate to your organization before the year is over. This is a fantastic service you are providing. I'm so glad Kenta didn't have to go to a shelter before finding a new home! Susan Tighe Math Tutor Silpada Designs Representative

     Hi Jeff, I found your website to be exactly what pets all over the nation need! A central clearinghouse if you will, for good people trying to do the right thing for their animals. Feel free to use my comments. I was amazed at the quick responses, and yes, Junior is now in the hands of a neighbor down my street. She has a Golden Retriever and a Lab, both of whom Junior plays with on a regular basis. Now he gets to do it full time! She loves Junior and has teenagers who will enjoy his energy more than my elderly cat does. Your website is thorough, easy to navigate, and allows confidential inquiries. I will use it again if I'm in a position to adopt an animal. Thank you for what you do. I made a small donation. Sorry it isn't more. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Karen

     Hi there! It was a very emotional decision to have to place our Shiba into another home that would suit her needs better. RescueMe.org helped generate a lot of interest in our dog and I couldn't have been happier about the result. We found a family who was really excited to adopt her, and that make the transition a bit easier on me and my husband. Thanks for creating a great service! - Kristi Clark

He has found a wonderful new home. This is the first time I have ever had to surrender a pet and it has been difficult but finding a good home for Koda has made it easier. Thanks so much. Janet

     Jeff, Your site was IMMENSELY helpful during Tanner's journey...It was easy to use and I got responses back immediately, which was a HUGE plus since Tanner's situation waffled between precarious, potentially deadly to uncertain.... It all worked out in the end as one of the users of your site called and ended up fostering him until his Mom (the one that originally found him left for dead along a country road) was able to get on her own two feet, find a stable living situation where she wasn't being threatened or forced to take him to a kill shelter and obtain steady employment. Thanks so much for this amazing site!!! I was just a neighbor grasping at straws to help save this little guy who was directed to Rescue Me....Honestly, I don't think Tanner's situation would have had a happy ending without you!!! God bless you for your kind and generous heart in helping save our 'Best Friends'... Gratefully yours, Tara

     Hi Jeff, We were able to find Juno a good home. Last week I received a call from a young couple, no kids, nor planning to have kids, no other pets, just purchased a house with a fenced in yard and were looking for this particular breed. I had them meet Juno to gauge her reaction. They fell in love with her and I took Juno to them. She seemed to bond with them right away. A little shy at first but soon was walking on her leash with them without me around. They recently called me and let me know that she is doing remarkably well adjusting. She is able to roam the house on her own and sleeps next to their bed at night. This was something we could not offer Juno because of the cats. I was very happy with the website and believe it truly benefitted Juno. I will make sure to send a donation soon enough. Regards, Jim Zanine

He will have a much happier life and although, I miss him....he's really better off. Anyway...I didn't find this home through Rescue Me.....never had one hit. So I tried Craig's List and was innodated with responses. I picked and chose through all the notes and met this lady and she was awesome. Guess, ya won't be posting this in your news letter. hahahhaha. Sorry. Thank you for checking on his status and take care. Brenda
