“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor;  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.  But woe unto him that is alone when he falleth;  For he hath not another to help him up.”  Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.  Fortunately for us, our new mom & dad - Julie & Daniel - and their lovely family are taking us in to their forever home where we’ll always be together!  The love that some are willing to share is amazing!  Mom reports that we’ve really bonded with their daughter – she’s our buddy!  We play with her during the day and sleep with her all night!  We also keep mom company during the day!  We’ve been on our best behavior so far and we intend to always be!  Mom says we’re a great addition to the family – you betcha!  Stay tuned for new pictures and stories of our forever home adventures!  Thanks MSRH – you kept this band of brothers together!

“My philosophy, like color television, is all there in black and white.” I’m young, I’m cute and I needed to be in a forever home.  I’m not sure if that’s what Monty Python meant with that funny quote but my philosphy worked out just fine for me!  I’m in the loving forever home of my new mom and dad, Beckie and Wayne!  They’re special people – not only did they adopt me but they gave something extra to help others here at MSRH!  You can’t beat a forever home like that!  Stay tuned for new pictures and stories of my forever home adventures!  Thanks MSRH – you really are the holy grail for lost dogs!

“In this world I walk alone, with no place to call my home.  But there’s One who holds my hand.  The rugged road through barren lands;  The way is dark, the road is steep.  But He’s become my eyes to see.  The strength to climb, my griefs to bear;  This Savior lives inside me there.”  And just like that, I found a Savior in my new dad, Doug!  Just look at my face – I couldn’t be happier in his strong arms!  Stay tuned for new pictures and stories of my forever home adventures!  Thanks MSRH – you were my Living Prayer!

Cicely Tyson said, “I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there’s nothing left for you to work towards.  I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.”  Well I found my mountain and I’m on top of it with my new dad, Jay!  He’s the best….and I’m going to try to be my best too!  Stay tuned for new pictures and stories of my forever home adventures!  Thanks MSRH – you set me on the right path to reach my mountain top!
