Xena


I wanted to write and let you all know how much we LOVE Xena.  She has integrated so well at our home.  She has three brothers Zuri (great dane), Rascal (border collie), and Jaden (cat).  She made herself at home the first day we got her here.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful dog, she is truely a gem! It's a crying shame that anyone would have ever abused her!! Thanks again K9 Bed and Biscuit.

Samson

(Formerly known as Walter)


This is Samson, aka Walter, sitting for a treat. He has been with us for a little over two weeks now. He has a brother named Jack and two sisters, Lucy and Dahlila. Samson has become great friends already with Lucy, but Dahlila. Well that is another story. They played yesterday for the first time. I think it must have been too close to nap time for Samson because he had the grand mal of all meltdowns. I have to lay him on his back and rub his chest to calm him down, and then he is okay again. Given how quickly he has adapted to the other two, I really think in time he will become Dahlila's boy which is the hope. He is a very loving little boy and we are truly blessed to have him.

**Bella**


I adopted Bella this summer and I have loved every minute of her in my home! Even though she is about 10, she is spunky and curious. She immediately fell in love with one of my older dogs and loves to sleep on him.  Bella is grateful to have found a home so late in  her life, and clearly has no intention of going anywhere. She is one happy dog, and I'm happy to have found her!

Maxwell

We adopted Maxell, the 'rough and tumble' pit puppy. We just wanted to say thank you so much! He was an instant hit in our household! He is actually a pretty mellow little guy and is so anxious to please! He follows our 8 month Min-Pin mix around everywhere, and tries to imitate everything he sees our female pit do. He loves our 2 year old daughter, and treats her like one of his litter mates. He is almost completely housebroken already too! We love him so much already and cant' thank you enough for helping us bring more love into our house! We'll send you pictures and he gets a little older, so you can see how well he has already adjusted to our home. I will be sure to recommend you to everyone we know!

Thanks again!

-Sara


SHELBY

  

I adopted Shelby (then named Macy), a young black pitbull last summer. She has been such a blessing to us, she is a great dog and such a doll.  She is the sweetest girl ever! She and her sister Stella (catahoula bulldog) travel all over with me to rodeo's on the weekends and they are such good girls. Shelby is really an ambassador for her breed, as everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She has grown so much already, and I think she has a lot more to do if she is to catch up to her feet! Shelby is perfectly content as long as she has a ball to fetch, rawhide chewy to devour, or is laying on your feet. She fits in perfectly here, and I am so glad to have her.  I wanted to say thank you so much for everything you work so hard to do!

ROSCOE


We adopted Roscoe (then named Rocky) in February 2008. He was the perfect dog from day one. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. He loves to play with his sisters Tibby (St. Bernard) and Annastasia (Maltese). This is our first winter with him and he really loves to play in the snow. We found this summer that he also loves to swim. We take him to the Platte river and he romps in the water. His favorite toy is a red-white-and blue squeky ball  and we can hear him sometimes in the middle of the night playing with it.  On his down time he snuggles with me on the couch.  We couldn't ask for a better baby to adopt and just wanted to thank all of you for what you do!

CHASE

I adopted Chase for my son and his girlfriend.  My husband was not so sure about him. After my son was hospitalized and we realized he would be gone for about a year, we considered returning Chase. I cried for days. He was becoming part of our animal loving family. We decided our family would not be the same without him. Chase still sleeps in his crate in the guest room, but as my husband said... "he is clearly not just a guest anymore!"



Tasha & Pam's Story

I met Tasha the first day I worked as a volunteer at K9 Bed & Biscuit. Back then it was called Double J Pet Ranch. Tasha wasn't up for adoption: she was being boarded. When I returned for my third week of walking dogs at the shelter, I asked about Tasha. I found out her owner had boarded her six months before and had never come back.

It was love at first sight. So, I asked if there was any way I could adopt Tasha. Her previous owner couldn't be found so I was able to adopt her- YAY!  That was more than five years ago. Tasha is still the love of my life and brings so much joy, not only to me, but also my family and friends. Although she's a big girl (100 lbs)H

she sleeps in my bed, lies in my lap and squishes herself into my very small bathroom while I get ready each day. She is pure love!



Dear Christine & Staff,
You don't know what a difference YOU'VE made in my life. After my precious "Nimbus" died, I have been able to fulfill my cat fancy by being at the shelter once or twice a week. I have "adopted" my own favorites there. I don't know what their real names are or even most of their sexes, but I have given them my own pet names. They just want to be loved just like everybody else. And since it is a no-kill shelter, it's like they are little orphans. I have
enjoyed every minute of it and if or when we ever move into a country house, I am going to get me another cat, probably from there. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do of bring in on Saturday mornings.
Sincerely,
Pam Love - Greeley
Captain
 
Hello!  I just wanted to write and say thank you for our wonderful new little addition to the family.  We just adopted Captain a week ago from your shelter as a puppy.  He is by far the best little puppy we have ever had!  He already knows how to use the dog door and is nearly potty trained- already!  When I was told he was part pit bull, I was hesitant to adopt him.  I am so glad that I didn't let that stop me because he is the sweetest dog I have ever met.  He loves my other two dogs- and they love him right back.  He now has his own adopted mommy at our house, our Corgi Ally.  My two young children completely enjoy him and he sits on my daughter's lap anytime we are in the car and falls right to sleep.
I just wanted to write a quick email and let you know how much we love our new little guy and just THANKS for all you do for the many animals you help every day!
Love,
Josh, Mandee, Corra, and Jax

Apollo

Apollo, a recently rescued Dobie wanted his former mates at the shelter to have a new comfortable bed, so he and his new family donated a Kuranda bed!  Apollo has two large dog beds at home and a comfy large crate so he is comfortable and happy and wishes the rest of the dogs at the kennel the best of luck. The Cowan's wants everyone at the shelter to know how grateful they are to have him. Mr. Cowan  has reached great success with training and Apollo is hardly aggressive towards other dogs now. He now knows how to catch a frisbee, he loves his dog bed and blanket and he has bonded with both of his new owners. In just three weeks (tomorrow) he has come along way and seems very happy!

Charlie

I just wanted to send on some photos of Cosmo, now Charlie.  We adopted Charlie in February. He is a wonderful addition to our family. He is very loving and smart; he has learned to come to his name, to sit, heal and to lie down. He is also learning to walk off leash. Charlie loves to run with our horses and play with the other cats and dogs on our walks. Thank you so much for saving him!

Kuranda Beds
As of 2/14/09  K-9 Bed & Biscuit has received 13 Kuranda beds!  Those lucky 13 dogs get to sleep on a comfy, elevated bed and not on a cement floor. We are so grateful to all of our Kuranda bed donors!
Here is Timber enjoying his new bed:



Calvin

Coffee is now named Calvin. He is a delight! I tell him he is precious every day. He purrs a lot and likes to sit on my lap. In the morning he jumps on my bed with one of his toys to let me know it's time to play. When I throw a small ball, he runs after it then returns it to me, holding the ball in his teeth. We play other games that make him jump to keep his leg muscles in good shape! He eats the kibbles recommended by the vet, but he also gets treats such as raw chicken liver heart and raw egg yolk. Thank you for taking care of him for 2 years until he found a home.

Tipsy

Dear K-9 Bed & Biscuit,
Tipsy went with us on vacation and did so good! She really has quite the personality coming out! She loves playing and the kids love playing with her. She is so well behaved and trained. We really got so lucky with her. We got her a little bed and put her blanket in there and she will bury her bones in it. Very funny! Then she will dig them all out when it is time for bed and she will bury them under the pillows on the couch. I think she is afraid the cats will get them or something. LOL. Sometimes I think she thinks she IS a cat. She will lick her paws and swipe her face to clean it. She is our main source of entertainment! Thank you so much for bringing her to our family.

Barbie
One of our FAVORITE dogs at the shelter finally was adopted! Barbie (Barbra Jean) is a pitbull mix. Sometimes that scares people off. But if you were to spend ANY amount of time with her, you'd quickly realize that she is the sweetest girl!

Here is her former shelter portrait:


Here she is, happy as can be in her new home!


Her new family gave us an update on Barbie:

"She likes to sleep alot. It's really cute when she crawls on her stomach. She does a really good job on walks and doesn't pull at all. She is very loving."
- Justin Jacquot,  Age 13

"She isn't too active, but she isn't too lazy. She like to play fetch with a tennis ball.  She is really nice and would never bite us.  We like to watch TV together.  I love skateboarding with her, she pulls me on my board. She likes to sleep in my bed.  She is the best dog I could ever wish for."
-Jacob Jacquot,  Age 11

"Barbie is a great addition to our family. She loves to lay around on the couch and is very sweet."
-Cindy Jacquot
