Where has this year gone? Can you believe it's the end of July!?! I know, we can't either. (Though we think a lot of us are ready for the cooler Fall weather!) Chick ('22 alum) and Grace ('20 alum)Chick and Grace are doing one of their favorite activities... a morning spin around town, with the top down! Walker ('22 alum)Our recent alum, Walker (formerly Eli in FL), is doing amazing. He earned his AKC canine good citizen title and earned his AKC novice trick title. He is competing in barn hunt regularly and training for agility and dock diving. WOW – you go Walker! Congrats! Louie ('20 alum)Celebrated Louie’s ~7th birthday and his 5th gotcha day on July 1. We are so thankful for this smart, loving & calm boy. His favorite things are still short car rides, morning walks and belly scratches! We are forever thankful to SEGSP for bringing this guy into our lives! Mattingly ('22 alum)Hi! Maggie Mae’s new mom here. (She was also called Cherry for a bit.) But her new forever is Mattingly or Mattie for short. I know this pup has had a few names already. We went with Mattingly as he was one of my favorite Yankees growing up and “Mattie” was a hat tip to her previous name Maggie. That's all for this week! Keep sending us your updates.

Send it on over!!!From Daddy's girls (and boy) to an adventure loving guy... we have lots of smiles for you today. Check out what recent alums Goose, Paleo, Luna and Willow are up to in their forever homes!"Hey, we are the Forbes family and we adopted Goose on March 30! He has settled in really well. We have 7 acres, not entirely fenced, so we spent the first two months with a 50 foot lead on Goose working on his recall and teaching him the boundaries! He made great progress and I certainly got my steps in! We have worked really hard together and now he can run the property, hunting chipmunks and squirrels, chasing lizards and frogs, and hopefully he knows at the end of the day, he has his forever family who will love him as he deserves to be loved! We run and walk every day with our other two dogs and he loves his routine! He is getting better and better on the leash. We visited our lake house twice, and he absolutely loves it! He never wants to stop swimming or come into the house, just like when he’s running around at home! I am just so proud of him for all the progress that he has made. He is the sweetest dog and greets everyone that comes to visit us just looking for a pat on the head. He gets so many compliments everywhere we go on how beautiful he is! The vet even said that she felt like he came from very good breeding! Thank you again for honoring us to be Goose’s forever family!" Our recent alum Paleo is doing great! He rides twice a day with his daddy and is loving his life. And we LOVE to hear that – YAY Paleo! Quick Update on Luna’s latest adventures! I think it is fair to say she is a “Florida Girl” now. First fish, first trip to North Captiva Island and an adventure with Ollie a week or so ago. We love her so much and she has fit right in with us! My husband is a charter captain (On Point Charters & Tours) and a fellow captain saw us leaving harbor today, he texted asking if it is fair to go fishing with a pointer on board helping to find the fish! HAHA. She is so loved by our whole family. Willow (Brown) is a recent alum from SC. Her mom says, "She’s doing fantastic! We are totally in love. Attaching a few pics — she and Jackson love to play and he’s really pepped up since she joined our family in March. As you can see she’s also a daddy’s girl" Keep sending those updates!! We love a full inbox to share with you. Our email is [email protected].Happy July! We are excited to continue to share some amazing alumni updates with you this week for Sunday Alum Day. SEGSP Rescue volunteers and supporters LOVE to know how our alums are doing. Thank you for sharing.Chick (April 2022 alum) and Grace (April 2020 alum) have become best friends and insist they be taken to the dog park at 6 am followed by a car ride down ocean drive to cool off and walk on the beach! It has taken Chicky a while to come around and she is still skittish at times, but she will walk into a room to join the fun and get a few pets or snacks! Baci (formerly Sig) is doing so well he’s about 12 years old now and LOVES nap time! This is recent alum Coco. She enjoys every afternoon in our backyard with her siblings. She is fitting in with the pack perfectly. Yesterday, I found her sleeping with Neron, my older dog, for the first time. They shared the bed for the whole night. Of course Arena, the queen of house, was a little jealous. HA! Dixie came to us as a 4 yr old hunting dog with bad joints but a sweet disposition. Now, she has become our beloved pet. Going on 9 yrs old, she still loves to chase squirrels,(even up a Palm tree!) swim, go on walks & cuddle in our laps. She has been a wonderful edition to our family & we are very grateful to SEGSP Rescue. Izzy (Isabelle) from SC was adopted on June 12, 2022. Her parents wrote to us to say she has been doing great! She and her new brother, Crash, play non stop and enjoy hanging out together in the backyard stream! We are absolutely in love with Izzy and are so glad she is a part of our family! We cannot be more grateful to you all. Thank you for all that you do! That's a wrap for this week's issue. Remember, keep sending us updates! Have a wonderful week.Three awesome updates for you this week for Sunday Alum Day! Check them out, with the great pictures, below!Wanted to send an alumni update on Hawk as we are about to celebrate his 6th “Gotcha Day”. Even though Hawk is now close to 8 or 9 years old, he still shows some puppy tendencies specifically with his activity level! He enjoys going on runs and long walks and until he gets his exercise, he walks around the house crying and moping. His two human siblings love playing with him, giving him random hugs and kisses and cuddling with him at night. We cannot imagine not having Hawk as part of our family and we are so thankful for SEGSP Rescue for connecting us with him! Thank you for all you guys do for these amazing animals! They truly are the best! Just wanted to give you an update on our Derby girl! Derby has been busy this summer working as a therapy dog and loving life! She was born to love on others and she does it soo well! We continue taking her to school to keep her skills sharp at Rucker Dog Training in GA. Scot has helped us train her to be the best dog ever! She even has her own Instagram account where you can keep up with her journey! Follow her on Instagram at derby.Carolina. We love her soo much! Thank you Eslinger family! I adopted Tallulah (aka, Miss Tallulah Mae) in May 2021. She was featured on your “Other Dogs to Adopt” page. We lost our sweet boy Waylon in June 2020, and Miss Lula has helped make our family whole again. She is such a sweetheart and a total dopey girl. We just love her so much! Remember to send your updates to us. See you next week! |
