06/21/2024

Grab a drink and settle in to read all about Bilbo, adopted 5/12/24 and his life in his forever home! It's a pupdate!

"Here’s an update on our dog, Bilbo, adopted from Sarasota Animal Services on May 12, 2024. Bilbo’s story has a happy ending—love and fur and dog kisses forever!
We watched this little black dog live on his own for at least two months in the fields near our house. Nobody knew where he came from, or why he was out there living like a tiny lone wolf. The neighbors down the street started feeding him, but he would only take food when they put a bowl out, called him, and withdrew inside their house. He’d eat the food, and carry the bowl away, just in case it magically filled up later. We started feeding him too and tried for weeks to coax him to let us approach him. He always ran from us. Finally, we called the kind folks at Animal Services. They set a trap in our yard, we placed food in it, and he walked in. He had no identification chip, no tags, and was not neutered. We relinquished him to Animal Services, hoping we could adopt him after he was checked out by vets and staff and quarantined.
Okay—we have three cats. They were here first. In fairness, if any new animal was to join our family, it had to meet them, peacefully and safely, and get their approval. Otherwise—we’d be very sad, but he’d have to return to AS for another family to adopt.
After the requisite time with Animal Services, we met the little guy, up close for the first time. His barking was extreme, but we were already in love—that had happened during the time we watched him roaming wild and alone near our house. After the paperwork, with Bilbo in the car on his way to his new home, he suddenly relaxed. And at our house, he was gentle, and a little fearful, of our cats, and we all relaxed.
Now, we can’t imagine life without the little guy. We’ll probably never know how he came to be living on his own in that field for so long, but we’re going to make sure he never wants for love, food, and safety ever again. He is smart, high energy and somewhat stubborn, but mostly sweet. He is still apprehensive of strangers and other dogs, and he barks to let them know he might be small but he’s tough. We’re okay with that--his caution no doubt helped him survive on his own for so long.
It’s only our third week together, but we’re his and he’s ours and the pack is happy and complete.

Thank you to everyone at Sarasota Co. Animal Services!"

We are so glad he's settled in! 🐾💕

We've been waiting all week for , and here's your update!
Cassandra writes, "We welcomed Tito and Whiskey to the fur baby clan recently. Both at 8 weeks of age. Whiskey (orange) took the his new home with ease. Tito (brown tabby) was a bit more reserved but after a few days it was all we could do to contain him. They are both so playful and energetic but also cuddlers. Tito likes to sit on your shoulder like a parrot. Our dog loves them both and wants to play. Our older cat Rue is slowly coming around and her curiosity about them grows but she also lets them know who is boss when the kitties get to bold. Love them all." She also included a photo update of Rue, living her best life for the past several years. Rue was adopted at 8 months of age.

It's an update a year in the making! Happy to Melo and his family, who write: "Hello. It has been a year since Luke now…”Melo“ came into our lives and we are forever grateful for his beautiful soul! He makes us laugh every single day. He loves all his canine siblings; in fact he thinks he is a dog himself. He sits, begs for treats, shakes, comes, walks on leash, meets us at the door, and loves to wrestle with our two teenage boys. Melo is full of love, full of light and continues to be a beloved family member that we truly adore. His favorite thing is to bird watch and chase lizards on the lanai. We can’t get enough snuggles, hugs and kisses in on this little guy! Thank you for rescuing this amazing boy that we love so very much!

All the best,
The Mahoney Family "
