THERE IS STILL LOTS HAPPENING AT FFAA. WE ALWAYS ENJOY HEARING HOW THINGS ARE GOING WITH
OUR FURRY FRIENDS IN THEIR NEW HOMES.
MOSHE AKA CHACO Update
Moshe is doing great with his new
family. He is great with all the other dogs, cat, birds and horses.
He is a very giving boy. I
also call him my 'gluebug' as he , yes, sleeps in the bed ..the only big dog
allowed....and is quite pleased with himself...and sleeps, even in the heat,
with his head or an arm on me. He is usually at my feet and always goes where I
go. e also sits..and comes...which I are other manners
he learned at ff....I know he has a great personality and is a sweet boy but you
really did such a great job in helping him become the boy he is. Just love him - thank you. Lisa
Many of you that have been able to visit our facility will remember Valentina. She loves to greet everyone and that is one of her jobs here. She not only greets everyone but insists that she gets lots of attention. Valentina is three legged and deaf. She was found as a young dog with a broken leg on Valentines Day—therefore the name. We took her to our veterinarian in Socorro but they were not able to fix the leg. We then took her to a specialist in Albuquerque and it was determined that her leg had to be amputated. Like all our special needs dogs, Valentina has figured out how to get around like all the other dogs. She tries to get in your lap because she needs help. Actually she does fine but we all like to spoil her and give her a few minutes attention with her resting on our knees. We are happy that she now can share her love and understanding of special needs with others as a therapy dog.
NORMA JEAN Update from the family.
Norma Jean is doing wonderful! She has opened up and loves her home and family. She takes guarding her family very seriously and loves belly rubs. We are now considering adding a new family member to our home and we are very interested in adopting Valentina. My daughter is doing volunteer work in our community and wants a companion to visit the senior center, home bound and hospitals. My daughter will be a 7th grader this fall and volunteers her time with special needs children at school. She is currently a volunteer for the Yes I Can Program with the Taos Municipal Schools and a cheerleader for her school. Please share your thoughts if you think Valentina would like to be a service dog in the community. Valentina’s happiness is very important to us and we would love to provide a loving forever home for her. Francella
Dear Friends, Attached are photos of Valentina and Norma J taken this evening. Valentina is adjusting very well to her new
family and quickly made herself at home .
She is already playing with the other dogs and verbally lets us know when
she wants attention, which we all happily comply to. This evening I brushed her coat with the
FURminator and washed her face. I
managed to fill a Walmart bag with Valentina's hair thanks to my trusty
FURminator. I plan on bathing her once I finish removing all the hair she is
shedding. Norma J had no problems
getting reacquainted with Valentina; however, Valentina has growled at Norma J
when she steps in for her share of hugs and kisses.
The Garcia
family has been blessed!
