We had a lot of fun at Paw Jam yesterday. Lots of people came out. And volunteers. And there were so many great dogs there. All breeds and shapes and sizes. The weather was just great. As was the music. And just everything. The Golden Retriever Rescue deserves a lot of credit for putting on such a great event. It takes a lot of work and planning and everything went just perfectly. It was fun.

We took Joey with us and he was the only current SOAR dog there. We say current because there were lots of dogs there that had graduated from SOAR. We were hoping that someone would see Joey and want to adopt him. He was a perfect little angel. He behaved just great. He met, and was so friendly with so many different dogs. One would think an event like this might be a little overwhelming to a dog that doesn't get to socialize very much with other dogs but Joey handled it just fine. No one adopted him but everybody liked him. Maybe someone that met him will keep him in the back of their mind and decide later to give him a try in their own home.

All lab puppies pictured below have been adopted. They were just too cute and were adopted so fast. We wish them all a very happy life.

One of Crystal's puppies came back to us because the woman who adopted her decided to return to work and didn't think it would be fair to the puppy to leave it alone all day. We've named the puppy Lady and look how much she's grown since you saw her here last. She's so sweet. Maybe you would give her another opportunity in your home.

Well, that sure didn't take long. PawPrints Magazine found Crystal a new home in record time. A nice man who saw Crystal on the PawPrints Cover and read about her knew that she was the dog for him. He once had a husky and loves the breed. He is a painter and will take Crystal with him to job sites and will also take Crystal out on his boat. It sounds like a perfect home for Crystal.

And Crystal, if you happen to read this, here is a personal note straight to you. Don't mess this up. We want you to be a perfect little angel in your new home.

Look at our beautiful cover model. She's Crystal and we love her so much. PawPrints Magazine thought she was beautiful too and made her their June issue cover girl. We're so proud of her. And so thankful to PawPrints Magazine, not only for selecting Crystal, but for all the help they give to us in trying to find homes for our animals. We could not begin to count the number of animals that we've adopted because their new parents first saw them in PawPrints. Hopefully, somebody who would love a beautiful and totally gentle shepherd will see Crystal and decide she is the dog for them. They won't regret it. So, please click on our links to PawPrints to see Crystal on the cover and to read and see all the other shelter animals featured therein. And to Kelly and Diane, PawPrints founders and owners, SOAR is so indebted to you and so appreciative of your work. Thank you Kelly and Diane.
