Chopper (formally Squirt! ha ha) is doing great. We love him so much. We can't thank you enough. You did such a great job with him. We feel so lucky to have found him. He's been the best dog. Likes to take your shoes, so we hide them. He is always with us, stuck to us like a bandaid. Loves to go in the car and has been around lots of people and other animals. He's exercising every day...playing fetch, running around outside. Thank you again. I've attached a picture for you.

Gary, Jess and Chopper

Update:

Last February my wife and I were looking for a new home and decided that we would like a new dog. We came across your web site and visited it everyday until we fell in love with a Shephard mix named Squirt. We were encouraged by reading your Success Stories and looking at all the beautiful dogs. We decided to drive out to Carlisle to see him at his foster home where we were greeted by a big (at first intimidating) dog that flipped himself over on his back so we could scratch his belly. (not so intimidating after all). He turned out to be a loving happy go lucky dog who wouldn't leave our sides. In fact his groomer calls him "Mr. Happy". In fact, he loves to lean into your legs and will nudge you with his cold wet nose if you stop petting him. Our mind was made up and we brought him home that Saturday. We named him Chopper and have spoiled him ever since.

In December, we received a copy of your newsletter and saw a beautifully written story titled "Not your Ordinary Christmas Eve" where Chopper (Squirt) was profiled in a heart felt story about his rescue one year ago. As we looked our into our yard on Christmas Eve one year later, we saw Chopper running around the paddock with our horse at our new home in New Hampshire, and felt so fortunate that we had found him and know that we gave him a good home. We wanted to write back to you and share our wonderful experience with Save A Dog and show you a couple of pictures of him one year later.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. Love Gary and Jessica Kassabian and Chopper!
