Dakota & Chloe

Just wanted to share with ARPO some new pics of Dakota & Chloe. They are both very happy & healthy. Thye are definitely "brother and sister". We are all grateful to ARPO for bringing us all together! For anyone who reads this, ARPO is the best place to adoopt a new family member.

Cheryl & Gary Williams

Samantha

We adopted Samantha (formerly Spagoo) in July and we are having a wonderful time with her. She's doing great with her obedience training, and is overcoming her shyness around people. She loves to play with Daisy, our cairn terrier, and is discovering her hound voice. We enjoy her everyday and are so glad that we were able to adopt her.

Jason and Natalie

Lily

We adopted Lily in November 2004 to be a companion to our first dog, Logan.
Ever since, our lives have been touched by this wonderful dog. Lily loves to snuggle, give kisses, and get her belly rubbed. Thanks to all of the wonderful people at ARPO for making sure Lily found a family that loves her!

Jeff and Laura Clawson

Chloe

Just wanted to give you an update on Chloe (border collie adopted in April 2005). She is a wonderful dog and loves to play and play and play. Chloe is the sweetest dog and is spoiled rotten. We just love her and she continues to bring joy to our lives.

Cheers,
Rachel Wallace

Honey

It has been almost 2 months since we got our little Honey (who is not so little anymore) from ARPO. She was greeted by her big sister Ginger and they have been inseparable ever since. She is doing so well in her new home. She is getting less and less shy every day and makes us laugh at how she chases her own tail. We call her our newborn colt because she is all legs! We wanted to thank you for Honey and let you know that she is very well taken care of!

Thanks again, Jake and Sara LaForge

Charlie

We adopted Charlie (formerly Puddles) from ARPO last fall. She brings so much joy to our lives and makes us smile everyday. Being a pug/beagle mix, she is the best of both worlds < a snuggly baby and a good athlete! Thanks so much for bringing Charlie into our lives.

Nick and Laura Rowlett

Sadie

We adopted Sadie (formerly Marina) when she was three months old in late March 2005. She is now six months old and doing spectacular! She adapted to our home very well and has taken up a couple new hobbies; boating, fishing and going to the races. Everyone that meets her falls in love with her. We love her to death and don't know what we would do without her!

Mindy

Popeye and Prancer

We adopted brothers Popeye (now known as Joe) and Prancer (now known as Black Jack) at the end of February 2005. They are doing great and love to chase each other and us around the house. Lots of fun and lots of energy.

Thanks, Kate and Lance

Bianca

Bianca, formerly Butterscotch, has moved from Indiana to Michigan now.
She's enjoying exploring two acres of woods with her sidekick Baron, a miniature dachshund. Bianca enjoys watching the deer and barking at the bunnies. Thank you again for helping us find her. She's an incredible addition to our family.

Suzie and Matt York

Maddie

I wanted to send an update on the "queen" of the Grossett household. Maddie has been the best addition to our family than we could ever have imagined.
Maddie was rescued from the side of a road after the poor puppy had been hit by a car. In the attached picture, we had her dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween, 2004. Don and I cannot give her enough love. She definitely gives back more than we give her. Thanks to everyone at Arpo that helped with Maddie. We will love her forever. We will continue to support Arpo for everything that they do for dogs & cats.

Don and Lou Ann Grossett

Dakota and Chloe

We have now had Dakota with us since May 1, 2004 and he is a perfect dog. Very obedient, gentle and affectionate. We would not trade him for anything. We just adopted Annie (renamed Chloe). She is so much fun and has really come to bond with Dakota. They play, sleep and eat together. Enjoy the pictures and thanks again to you and Sally for everything!

Cheryl and Gary Williams

Butters

Butters is doing great. He is training us well. Everyone he meets falls in love with him!

So cute! The photo is from the very first day he came home.

Sincerely, Gena

Bailey

Bailey (formerly Venus) is doing great now. She is getting along great with the other cats and they even help us keep her ears VERY clean, for some reason, they think she needs a bath every hour!! They play very cute together, play hide-and-seek, and now insist on sleeping practically on top of each other. It really is precious and I just love her to pieces!! Thanks for letting us adopt her, she fits in very well here and the boys (the cats) love her like a little sister.

Stephanie

Silver

Well, Silver has crowned himself King of the estate! He surveys his territory chasing out squirrels, bunnies, birds, and the occasional cat. He has made it clear, in no uncertain terms, to the visiting dog next door that this is HIS YARD! Don't even think about coming over, touching the fence or (heaven forbid) expect my human to greet/pat you! I brought my folks up for the weekend. It was love at first sight, for all parties involved. Silver and my mom bonded immediately. He climbed up in her lap and showered her with kisses. My brother and his family (16, 13 and 10) visited on Sunday. Silver was shy at first, but once he learned that the 10 year old was a source for receiving kisses and giving hugs he was on a roll! What a joy he is. Thanks so much for bringing him to us!!!!!

Dea Szatkowski

Oscar

We recently adopted Oscar (aka Costello) from ARPO. He has been a blessing to us and great little brother to our other adopted dog, Spencer. These little guys are like two peas in a pod. They play from morning until bedtime, and Oscar has also helped Spencer get over his fear of his kennel. We can't thank everyone enough for bringing Oscar into our our lives. It was a very pleasant experience working with your board member, Kelly, and we will not hesitate about recomending ARPO to others seeking to adopt a pet. 

Stacey, Steve and Spencer

Copper

This is our favorite picture of Boone (actually we have renamed him
Copper) playing in his favorite spot-under the couch! He is doing very well. He has adjusted well to our house and to us. He is learning to sit and lay down and to shake. He is so smart! We will continue to keep you updated on his progress.

His New Parents, Jacki and Eric

Abby

Abby (formerly Monica) is a joy and as much in love with us as we are with her. Thank you for saving her!

Don & Linda Bane

Ebony

It's been a year since we added Ebony to our family, and we can't imagine life without her. She is sweet, gentle, devoted and generally obedient, except for the occasional sofa-sitting and snack-stealing. We all enjoy her, including cousins, aunts and uncles...even our cats have learned to put up with her never ending attempts to get them to play. Thank you so much for taking Ebony in so that she could find her way to us! Keep up the good work!

Tigger and Sunny

Here are some pictures of the two cats who we adopted from ARPO. They have grown up to be very happy, pampered kitties! :)

Holly & Eric

Diamond

We thank you for our Sierra, who was "Diamond". You see she loves her newly adopted brother, Sam.

The Wright family

Franklin

Franklin is just a wonderful boy. If there are any faults...it's because I spoil him! He's such a sweetie! Franklin is as tall as Emily now...and doesn't seem to be stopping! Emily and Franklin play together so well! I'm so glad we found Franklin.

Kellie

Gracie

Hi, my name is Camey and we adopted a dog about 1 1/2 years ago, Gracie, and I just wanted to tell you that everyday of our lives we are so grateful to have Gracie in our home. She is the sweetest, best dog in the world. She has made such a difference in our home and we are so happy that we walked into PetSmart that one day and saw beautiful Gracie! You are a wonderful organization! Thanks again for bringing Gracie to us!!

Camey Fischer and family

Rudy

We adopted Rudy (aka Zeke) almost a year ago. We can't imagine life without him! One of his favorite things to do it to lay in our warm clothes right out of the dryer, as you can see from the photo. He has
came so far...now he can run the house all day by himself. He is a lap
dog and loves belly rubs and cuddling on a blanket. He loves car rides, too! Thank you ARPO!

Wendi Groce and Sam Lough

Tyre

Behold the cuteness! The little puffball with the raccoon face is recent ARPO adoptee Tyre, who has now been renamed George. The older dog is Sarah.

Beth

Mickey

Wanted to let you and the ARPO organization know that Mickey (a.k.a. Prince) has settled into her home very well. He is always at my side when I'm home, probably because I spoil him alot. As you can see, Mickey has taken over the top of our couch, and he stays there most all day, until I get home from work.. Thank you for allowing us to have Mickey....

Sincerely
John Diener

Sophie

I adopted Sophie 3 years ago I believe, maybe 4... She's doing well. Has lived in Indianapolis, Tennessee, and now we're back in Fishers. Healthy as a horse... a little on the chubby side by a few lbs. - but on
the way back down to average. Can't wait for Pictures with Santa!

Kelly Lang

Stormie (Storm)

We adopted Stormie (Formerly Storm)in December of 2002... She was skittish at first, and it took us a little time to adapt to a very intelligent (and hyper) border collie, but with a few obedience classes and a lot of love, we're one big happy family!

Thanks again!
Ye Jin Cho and Chris Wickesberg

Maverick (Major)

Maverick (Major) has brought us nothing but joy! He loves to give
kisses and always wants to be right next to us. He's very smart too!
He's learned to sit, lay down, roll over, and shake. But, his favorite
thing to do is jump in our lap! He is so good when we take him on
walks. He likes to "visit" with people along the way, but he doesn't
bark or whine at anyone. He just wags his tail hoping he'll get some
more attention. We love him so much! He is definitely part of our
family.

Cara and Chad Fowler

Pickles and Calista

"I adopted two of your kittens, Pickles and Calista. They are both
doing wonderful and we love them to death! The picture I'm sending of
them is when they're being "princesses." We'll pull up a chair and put a big pillow on it right in front of the fish tank and they'll lay their for hours, perched on their little thrown.

Thanks so much for bringing these two sweeties into my life!"
Laura Felts

Opie

Our new sweet addition is Opie, formally Toto, who was Bijou/Flea's brother. He is the most laid back and lovable kitten I have ever seen. He is always at the front door to greet you and then lays down for you to pet him -- then the purring starts. Opie has an older sister Maggie who is 5 months old and a younger brother Macaulay who is three months old. The three are constantly running and chasing each other through the house -- then you will find them curled up together. We love all three and wouldn't part with any of them -- all three came from three different shelters. I can't express how much joy he has brought into our home.

- The Royers from Lafayette

Bele

We adopted Isabele "Bele" (known to APRO as Blossom) in 9/02. I just wanted to let you know how well she is doing! It is amazing how bright she is- we have trained her to sit, high five, high ten, wave, twirl, spring, touch, do push ups! We are working on sitting pretty and having her off the leash w/o running away like a mad woman! We can't picture our lives w/o her or before her- she loves to cuddle and follows us around the house all the time. She and our other dog, Phoenix are pals.

Cara and Josh Bach

Cosette

Cosette, previously Maria, was rescued by ARPO from the Morgan County Humane Society in December 2002 with her 4 puppies. She had been physically abused at some point in her life and was terrified of people. She ended up in emergency care with coccidia, mange, round worms, heartworm, and dehydration. It was a struggle for several months, but she made it through! She was adopted in April by a couple named Matt and Vicki. With their soft-spoken voices and gentle touches, Maria is quickly coming out of her shell and is an amazing success story!

Flea

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful addition to our family. This picture was taken by our vet when we took Flea, ( formally Bijou ), to get her second round of shots. We absolutely love our kitten.

Thank you,
The Riggs family

Amber and Jasper

Amber and Jasper (formerly Bambi and Mojo). They're both great dogs. We got Amber first, and then we got Jasper as a companion to her, and we haven't regretted it once.

Thank you all for the work you do and for the great additions to our family!
Kurt and Scott

Jasmine

"Jasmine is the best dog in the wide world :) We're all crazy about her. I don't know what I'd do without this dog now. She has been great, a joy. "

Jackie

Mia

"This is Mia, a FIV positive kitty that ARPO fostered for a year. Mia came to me in June of 2001 and is doing just great! She's just about the most loving cat I've ever known. She loves to sleep with me and my husband. She'll climb up on our laps for a little loving, too, when we're watching television. Mia loves having her ears smoothed and her rear-end scratched! I feel so lucky to have found Mia. She is the best cat! Mia is a happy, healthy (if not a little plump) cat and that we love her very much!!"

- Amy Worgan

Jessie

Just wanted you to know that Jessie (aka Bronte) has to be one of the sweetest dogs we have ever known! She is getting quite big now and the boys think her long tail is about the funniest thing they have ever seen.
