Success Stories
We LOVE to get updates on our adopted dogs (and cats too) and hear about their new lives! Below are some stories from adopters who were kind enough to share their experiences with their lucky new family member. Submit your story.
Mimi
The best!! Mimi is now a CGC dog! She is the best thing that has happened to us. She now has a little red Doberman brother. I have to say, since she is well trained, he has learned alot from her. If I could, I would have a house full of dobies!! Thank you IDR. [...]
Mylie May
In 2008, I lost my IDR dog–Trooper. I only had Trooper a year when I lost him to megaesophagus. My heart was broken. Within a few months Kat and Rosemary identified a cute little female they thought would fit into my life. I still missed my Trooper and I didn’t know what to do. So [...]
Tasha
With the grief and sense of loss beginning to fade, I’m finally able to pen this tribute to my beloved Tasha. I still mourn her passing but am gradually healing. She came to us in the fall of 2002 from IDR. Tasha had a wonderful life, and she enjoyed our home, bringing much joy to [...]
Xena (Formerly Sugarplum)
We adopted Xena, sorry couldn’t keep a ferocious animal with a name like Sugarplum, earlier this year and it has been an amazing experience. When we got her she was a little husky and shy. Both of those problems have gone away with time, she is now outgoing and looks more athletic. She is such [...]
Mystik
Hi, I’m Mystik Blu. I was a puppy from Tennessee when I came to IDR with my Mom, Marley, and brother and sisters over three years ago named Magic. I just wanted to say that I’m loving my life. I eat only grain free dog food to help my skin and have definitely found some [...]
Sheba
Hi my name is Sheba and I was adopted 4 years ago, I’m about 5.5 yrs old now! I love bones and trying to bury them in the dirt, that’s what’s all over my nose in this picture. I also love my older sister in this picture…don’t tell her, but she’s the boss! My mom [...]
Mallory
Just thought I would share an update on the beautiful girl we adopted just over 3 years ago. She is wonderful and is a very typical velcro dog. She takes special pride in tucking in her 3 human sisters each night!!! She is awesome and a wonderful addition to our home!
Iris
Hi, my name is Iris and today (January 30) I am 6 years old! I am a big, beautiful Dobegirl, full of energy and very smart (sorry to brag). I have been with my Mommy and Daddy for three of the most wonderful years of my life. I spend half of the time in the [...]
Lexus
Lexus came to live at our home the summer of 2008. At the time she was 8 years old, an owner turn in that was deaf (from birth) and on thyroid medication. She kept staring at me. For most dogs that means they are thinking about biting you, but her body language didn’t match. I [...]
Daisy
Our Daisy has made herself right at home. She & Buddy, our other dog, get along very well & do a lot of running & playing in our yard. We found out from our vet Daisy’s real age is 3, so it is like having a 150 lb kid around the house! She wants to [...]
