JASPER

It has been three months since I adopted Jasper from FVHA. He is settling in well. He is still learning manners and some commands. He loves swimming in the lake and being outside in general. He made a dog friend with the neighbor. Everyone who sees him is always asking me what kind of breed he is, and we all try to guess on what he could be. Eventually I will DNA test him to find out. He is doing great.   On Thu, Jun 1, 2023, 3:26 PM Adopt <adopt@foxvalleypets.org> wrote

PRISCILLA

Priscilla is doing great! She adjusted perfectly after two days – I’d say right away, but more perfectly after two days for sure. She will have her first routine vet visit next month. Here’s a photo of the pretty girl…

GRACEON

Graceon is doing very well and adjusting to life with her two big brothers. She has no problem keeping them right in line. She loves to snuggle on the deck with her older brother, Bobby. She loves to go on long walks with her other older brother Giannis. We had our first vet appointment, and she was such a good girl. I’ve included a few photos of her brothers and her below. She has been an absolute blessing to our family. Especially after the loss of our oldest, Lambeau. It’s been so much fun to have three dogs playing in

FIONA

Fiona is doing great! We kept her name as Fiona, as it was a wonderful name and suited her, and she responds well to it. Fiona definitely fits in perfectly here and has made herself right at home. We all adore her so much, and she gets lots of attention and love! She is a great addition to the family! I have attached a few select photos. I have a lot, as I can’t seem to stop capturing her moments.

ZIGGY

He seems to be settling in and has really come out of his shell! He is very playful and loves playing with his brother Jagger (black and white) and sister Papaya (tan and white). It is so fun to watch them! He and Papaya are now best friends and even cuddle together.❤️ He also has been doing well meeting neighbor dogs and getting along with our cats (though he tries to chase them sometimes)! He has been a great listener and is picking up skills quickly. I was very surprised at how quickly he became comfortable with us and the

FINLEY

Everything is going great since the adoption!  Finley has really come out of his shell since we brought him home. He is such a sweet and energetic guy (but also likes a good lazy day on the couch lol) who also loves his treats and food! He loves to go and snuggle with all three of our children in their rooms. He loves all the attention he gets from the kids, my wife and me. He loves his puppy sister as well and tries to play with her. Though she doesn’t always have the energy to keep up with him,
