OB Happy Tails Dog Adoption Story February 2012

Kathy & ObAdopted February 2012Labrador Retriever

We adopted our boy from Paws4Rescue in Granby, CT on my birthday. His original name was Onyx but we renamed him OB for Onyx Bear but it really stands for Our blessing. We love this dog so much. In the 8 years he’s been in our family we have had many adventures together. Swimming, camping, endless games of fetch. He moved with us from Connecticut to Ohio and loved road trips. We had his DNA tested and he’s 100% American Field Lab. 2020 was a hard year for OB. He stopped eating and we too him to our vet. He was diagnosed with a mass on his spleen. The vet said 2/3 are cancer. OB had surgery and he beat the odds. We are so thankful. He is a member of our family and we are blessed to know him.

Erin & Clover

As soon as I saw Clover (formerly Lexie) I knew she was going to be my dog. I sent an email to ask for more info about her and Kim wrote me back right away happy to answer any questions I had. She told me all about Clover's backstory and what to expect when bringing her home. Since she was located in AR and I am in CT we arranged a FaceTime so I could see Clover "in person." Kim really went above and beyond to help me through the entire process of adopting my dog, sending me pictures and keeping me updated every step of the way. Clover is a perfect fit for me and my family and I will be forever grateful for Kim and Second Chance Rescue for helping to connect us.

Victoria & Darcie

My boyfriend and I adopted sweet Darcie two days after my birthday. It was a momentous day as I had waited over 8 years to adopt a dog after my previous dogs, Hershey and Chelsea had passed. Darcie is my first rescue and I'm so thankful to have found her. She's affectionate, playful, energetic, and loyal. Our days are filled with walks, hikes, dog parks, belly rubs, tug of war, swimming, and fetch. She's the perfect dog for us in Colorado and we love her dearly. I'm so thankful for Petfinder and Darcie's rescue, Scroungy Dogs and Pretty Pups.

Carolyn & Frankie

Frankie was one of 11 pups born to a rescue dog found walking the streets of Mississippi. He is truly the best thing that has happened to our family. He has brought such joy and happiness to our once quiet household…we can’t even imagine life without is sappy kisses and playful howls!
