Success Stories
Thank you all for helping me place almost 100 wonderful dogs in 2008. We have placed Miniature Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, and a variety of mixes in great homes all over Colorado.
Happy Dogs
We placed Chrissy, a small Miniature Schnauzer who was hit by a car. She came into rescue
from a local shelter with road rash all over her little body and a broken leg, but she had a
great personality. We fixed her leg, and now that she is healed, Chrissy, renamed Bode, is
living happily ever after in Colorado Springs.
We placed Mackenzie, another small Mini who was so scared that she was rejected by another rescue organization as unadoptable. She came into rescue full of mats and fleas, but Mackenzie is now living happily ever after with a great family here in Denver.
We placed Mac, an 8-year-old male Mini who was surrendered by his owner because he was having
accidents in the house. The vet discovered that poor Mac had 8 large bladder stones. After
surgery, Mac was adopted to a wonderful home in the mountains. 
We placed Hobbs, a 6-month-old Mini who was taken to a local shelter to be euthanized because the family didn’t want him any more. This wonderful little guy is now playing with two greyhounds in a home where he is the second adopted Mini.
We placed Katie, a 5-year-old Cocker who came into rescue with kennel cough and a cherry eye. Katie is now a sophisticated city dweller living in a high rise in downtown Denver and working part-time!
We placed Meg, a large 2-year-old terrier mix whose eyes haunted me as she waited for rescue in an outdoor pen at a rural shelter. Her new people bought her Christmas presents even before they adopted her when they saw her on a local "critter tree."
We placed Coal and Bridget and Stacey, who were rescued from puppy mills and came into rescue afraid of everything -- stairs, people, loud noises, and raised hands. They have been adopted into homes where they know love and warmth and good food.
Thank You
I want to thank all the people who help me care for and adopt these wonderful dogs. Thank you to Dr. Kim Crawford and all her staff at Chatfield Veterinary Hospital, who makes sure that the dogs are healthy before they are adopted. Thank you to Sarah and her staff at Shag ‘n Wag who bathe and groom the dogs to make them more adoptable. Thank you to Wendy who comes every day to let the dogs out for a potty break at lunchtime. Thank you to Sharon and Pearl and Donna and Carolyn and Lisa who take dogs into their home and love them and care for them until we can find forever homes for them. Thank you to Jenni who helps me put pictures of the dogs and their stories on the web sites. Thank you to Lois who completed the paperwork and donated the fee to get Vintage Dog Rescue registered as a charity with the Internal Revenue Service. Thank you to all those people who picked up and transported dogs for me.
If you adopted one of my rescued dogs, thank you again. I appreciate all that you do to care for that wonderful four-legged family member. I look forward to hearing from you. I love to get emails, letters or pictures telling me how much you enjoy your dog. I hope that this year brings you happiness and love, even in these uncertain times.
