Kelly Pupdate! I Am Not In California Anymore!

Kelly experiences putting his paws in the snow for the very first time...  What an incredible Christmas he will have this year with his new family...

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  This is pawsome"!

Playing with my sister Cassie is so much fun!

Once known for not getting along with other dogs... Well look at me now!  With love and patience, anything is possible!

Finally.... I Am Home...

Kelly sat at the shelter for months because he didn't get along with other dogs, and was in danger of being euthanized... Well that was until Michael came along... He was that person that couldn't care more... This is truly remarkable, and it opens doors for so many that sit in shelters that have similar challenges as Kelly did. As you can see with love, patience and training, anything is possible!

Kelly went from this...

                       

To this...  

Ladies and Gentlemen... I would like to introduce you to Kelly and his new family...

Every dog should have the chance to be a loved and cherished family member just like Kelly...

Thank you to everyone that came together to make this incredible rescue possible!

Playing With My Sister, Cassie...

I have been working on my social skills, and here I am playing with my new sister, Cassie... well that is until I found a pool!

Getting To Know My New Siblings!

Yes, that's me running around the yard with my new siblings!  It has been a slow careful process, but with patience, persistence and love from my new Dad, this is the end result! Once deemed to be an only dog, this is huge for me!

It just goes to show you that anything is possible with a kind and gentle hand and someone that believed in me!  I have been taught how to socialize with other dogs again, and it is wonderful!.  It has been a long tough road, but that is behind me now, as I am living my dream... happily ever after in my forever home with my new family...

Kelly Has A Message For Everyone...

Thank you to everyone that played a part to save me from the unthinkable! 

Now I can be a messenger for others still waiting in shelters across the nation waiting to go home.  

Please Spay and Neuter and Adopt from your local Shelter or Rescue...

My name is Kelly, and I am no longer a shelter dog...

I am home...

Living The Dream...

I used to sit and wait and dream of days like this... Who says that dreams don't come true!

 

Don't Worry About Me... I Am Doing Just Fine...

Hi everybody!  I am enjoying my new life, and wanted to give you an update.  I am settling in nicely in my new home, and getting to know my new family.  My new Dad takes me to the dog park at night with my new brother and sister, and sometimes just the two of us go.  Here are a few photos of our recent trip to the lake!

 Gone Fishing!

 Look Dad!  I am walking on water!

Checking out the surroundings

Ahhhhh... I think I am going to be happy here...

Kelly Goes To The Vet!

I was so excited to be going for a ride in the car!  Where are we going? (pant, pant, pant) Where are we going?  Dog park?  Beach?  Lake?  Oh No!!!!!!!!! I am at the Vet!!!

 Off we go!!!!!

What is this place?

 What is under here?

What's up here?

 I think I have been tricked!!

It's all good though because the doc said I am in good shape! I weigh 61 lbs!  See ya later Doc!

I Am Settling In Quite Nicely In My New Home

Well, I have been in my new home for over a week now, and it is pretty cool.  My new Dad is awesome and he really loves me alot! He says "I know others care for Kelly, and I want them to know that KELLY IS FINALLY HOME FOREVER and safe and loved very much".  How lucky am I? We have been having so much fun!

There are bones everywhere!!!

 Making new friends...

 Ahhhhhh...A little roll in the grass...

The feel of fresh grass feels so good

An evening romp around the park

I am so tired, I fell asleep in my bowl!

Ahhh...What a great day!

Paying It Forward For Kelly...

The Agoura Hills Shelter in Southern California was my home for almost 9 months. The volunteers there were so good to me, and even one volunteer would bring me a plain bacon cheeseburger sometimes!  Even though I was loved by everyone at the shelter, they all wanted me to find my forever home.  So, when I was pulled from the shelter and whisked away on an airplane to my new home, they were worried about me at first, but then happy for me when they found out how wonderful my life was going to be from now on with my new family.

The shelter made a video about my rescue that I would like to share with you.  After you watch it, I need to ask for a favor... Please share it with everyone you know to raise awareness of the thousands and thousands of dogs still waiting in shelters across America to find their homes too.  I am one of the lucky ones... Together, we can save even more...

"In a world full of people who couldn't care less, be someone who couldn't care more"

Please share this video to save a life...

 Am I dreaming?

 

 I am on a bed with a bone in my forever home... It doesn't get better than that!

Goodnight everyone... Zzzzzzzz
