A Different Breed

Sammy

Remember Sammy from last summer? Bichon mix. We just took him to the vet for his shots and they did a heartworm test and he is negative. He was positive when you had him but mild, so the preventive did the trick. Just wanted to let you know he’s doing great and everyone who meets him says what a great dog he is.

Lola Belle

This is Lola Belle (formerly known as Denison) and our other baby Chester. I adopted Lola from y’all about 3 weeks ago. She is such a great addition to our family and we love her so much! She is a very happy girl and I think she loves her new home! Thank you, not only for Lola but also for all that y’all do to help save these animals. I know it is hard work and not an easy job. Thank y’all again!!!

Sassy

Hello, just wanted to let you know Sassie is doing great. She is the sweetest and best tempered dog. A good watchdog too. Sadie(my other dog) and Sassie romp and play together all day long. They also sleep side by side at times. It is so cute! They have a great friendship. Here are a few pics of her and Sadie together. I just had Sassie groomed. She looks like a different dog.

Duke

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 04:40:37 +0000

Duke was adopted out from A Different Breed when he was just a puppy, but was returned after a few months because he had too much energy for his first family (of course we LOVE his happy energy!) Catahoula hounds have historically been used as a working dog (herding cattle, tracking, hunting, etc) so it was important for us to find a family who understands the breed and their need for “work” or activities to harness their energy.

Needless to say, we could not have found a better fit for Duke! The family who adopted him already had a Catahoula who they loved to pieces and wanted to find a companion for. Duke and his sister are the best of friends and do everything together. His family lives on Grapevine Lake and loves to hike, camp, and take road trips together. . .and they have a HUGE fenced in backyard. After a long day of playing in the yard, we are told that Duke is quite the softy and loves to cuddle and get tummy rubs. His new family is even trying to get him a “job” as a therapy dog, or get him into agility training.

We couldn’t have come up with a happier ending for Duke if we had written it ourselves. We hope he NEVER loses that amazing energy that he has as that is what makes him so special!

Rookie

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 04:33:39 +0000

Rookie came to A Different Breed about a year ago from a puppy mill that had closed its doors. He was so scared he would huddle in the corner of his crate and we had a hard time even getting him to come out. During his second week with ADB, he jumped off a chair (like dogs do every day) and broke both bones in his front leg. The vet said that he had been so malnourished at the puppy mill his bones were just like toothpicks. They didn’t believe they could fix the break and were convinced that they would have to amputate. However, one of the Vets at Alma Animal Hospital was determined to save his leg. After hours of surgery he was sent home with one of our foster families with just a 50% chance of his leg healing.

Rookie was later adopted by his foster family and is virtually unrecognizable as the same dog that came to us a year ago. His leg healed perfectly and he has grown into quite the handsome young man. His family also has an 8 year old female Chiweenie named Molly, and they are inseparable. Molly used to suffer from extreme separation anxiety when her parents would leave, but she is now a perfectly happy dog because her brother is always by her side (literally)!

Tinkerbelle

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 02:47:37 +0000

Tinkerbelle came to A Different Breed from the Marshall Animal Shelter. We think she probably came from a puppy mill. She was very malnourished; just skin and bones and her fur was completely matted. We discovered that she had such a bad infection in her mouth she had to have surgery to have much of her cheek removed. She can’t completely close her mouth anymore. We think that she is just the sweetest thing and despite everything she had been through, she now always looks like she is smiling!

Tinkerbelle was adopted a few months ago, and you should see her now! She is living the Dallas high life and is quite the “diva”. She has a closet full of clothes and accessories (check out the picture of her fancy sunglasses). She is truly a miracle dog and we know she will lead a long and happy life with her new family.

Daisy

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 02:31:31 +0000

Daisy was picked up by A Different Breed at an animal shelter, and tested positive for heartworms. A wonderful family in Oklahoma found out about Daisy and they knew right away that she was the dog for them.

One of our ADB volunteers took her in as a foster until her new family could make the trip from Oklahoma to pick her up. As soon as she arrived in Oklahoma she was taken to the vet for her heartworm treatment, and was brought home on Christmas Eve. She is now completely healthy, heart worm free and better than ever! She loves taking walks and seeing all of the kids walking and playing at the park. She will do almost anything for a treat or attention, and sneaks into the master bed when no one is home. She has become an instant member of the family and she knows that she has found her forever home. She is very loyal to her mom and dad, but will share her love with anyone that will let her! She was even introduced to the Guthrie, Oklahoma Chief of Police and she went into his office and immediately put her paw up to shake his hand! She has an interesting human-like respect for our men and women in all uniform. Her new family refers to Daisy as their “Little Christmas Angel”. They are currently working on training her to be used as a Therapy Dog in a Nursing Home. We at ADB are so happy for Daisy and her new family!
