Walter

Walter (Murphy)

 

Just an update on Walter (formerly Murphy) – he is quite at home here and has adjusted well to the dogs and bonded with Harry. They are so funny to watch. It’s been almost 8 weeks now since we brought him home. He is still pretty skittish around my husband and me.  And especially me, after I took him to get microchipped.

He definitely wants to be where the action is, and where we are, more all the time. And follows my husband around when he’s doing things like cooking or vacuuming. He gets a little more trusting every day and certainly enjoys a good chin rub (and purrs like crazy). 

Walter and Harry are brothers. The family first adopted Harry and then later adopted Walter.

Nita

Nita (Tansy)

Hello. I just wanted to give you a little update. I think it’s important since these pups are from the reservation and probably to most people considered “mutts”.

She is so smart!!! She already uses the bell to go outside every time now!! No more accidents, crate trained, and she goes in it herself or when you say “kennel up.” She shakes, sits, and stays for Bradie. I am amazed at how well she is learning. And of course, she still is the snuggliest puppy we have ever met. Biting on the other hand seems to be the most difficult part for her to learn yet. You know, the Australian Shepard nips that hurt.

Such a well-behaved puppy and much loved and spoiled. I just wanted to give you an update. The cats still don’t care for her when she comes home from college with Bradie. The Lab tolerates her climbing in her with resignation and puts her in her place when she bites her legs and our other little Lhasa Apso tells her who is boss if she misbehaves.

Thanks for bringing this pup to Luckys so we had the opportunity to love her.

Harley

Hi!

My name is Alleyna and I adopted Tom Nix (now Harley) in July 2021. Harley has been the perfect addition to my little family! He is so full of energy and even more love.

We’ve been able to go on countless hikes, camping trips, sledding, and so much more since I brought him home.

He’s been through some basic training courses and makes me proud every day with his skills and eagerness to please. He radiates nothing but joy and goofiness all the time!

In true Kelpie nature, he’s always by my side and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am forever thankful to everyone at Lucky’s Place for helping me find my sweet companion!

Best wishes,
Alleyna and Harley

We saw Bekah (Shadow) on Petfinder. She was exactly what we wanted. She looked like our 8-year-old border collie that we had adopted as a puppy. She made a perfect companion for him.

 
We drove over 1700 miles round trip from Oregon to adopt her. She did great on the trip. Rudy, our older dog loves her. She loves her new home, and we love her.
 
Thank you AHA of Star Valley!           -Janie White

Harry

Harry

Harry is doing well. He decided to meet the dogs with some supervision yesterday and today is confident enough to hang out with them in their space.

So he is busy exploring the house outside his sanctuary and then going back to his space when he wants to. And he loves laying under the Christmas tree. He “talks” to us quite a bit too. He’s a gem, and we’re really enjoying him.                                                                                                                                                                                                Jennefer Parker

Obie

Obie

Obie (formerly Oscar) joined our family in Colorado on August 19, 2021.

He is such a treasure!  What a loving, smart, athletic, fun, and joyful being he is, and all of our lives are so greatly enriched having him in our family.  Obie is “living the dream” in our mountain house during the week with lots of outdoor fun, and our Grand Junction house weekends with his brother, Cocoa, enjoying his big backyard.

We are deeply grateful to you for all of the incredible work you do, and for letting us have Obie!  May you and all the animals you help be as blessed this holiday season as we are.

Warmly,
Sandy, Chuck, Cocoa, Obie and all of the bunnies in our bunny sanctuary:  Charlie, Scotty, Camille, April, Danny, Charlotte, Amber, Amy, Annie, Harry, Harley, Herman, and Fern.
