Peachy was adopted by Rob and Anne Paullin of Winchester, VA.

Peachy has touched our hearts like no other.  She is 9 years old and full of energy.  Let me tell you a 9 year old comes with knowledge only learned through experience.  She rules the nest when it comes to the boys, and she has decided she is Mom to everyone.  I look at the scars on different places of her body, the teeth she is missing (vet says knocked out by a hard force), and wonder how she can still love and trust people.  Peachy loves life!  She loves tennis balls, follows me where ever I go, tennis ball in tow.  Such a big heart for a tiny little soul.  We feel truly blessed to have her in our lives.  - Anne

Sadly Peachy has passed over the rainbow bridge.

Peachy and her siblings.

Emmy & Mollie were adopted by Tony & Janet Sabel.
For Emmy, The best was saved for last.  Read about Emmy's Gift
The Sabel Family wrote to us and said, "Since bringing Emmy and Molly into our home we have found a joy lost to us in the recent departure of our beloved basset hound, Jethro.  Still grieving the loss of our pet, we welcomed them into our home and were instantly captivated by their sweet and gentle nature.  Emmy is truly a treasure and we all have marveled at her apt ability to get around despite her blindness. Our miniature schaunzer, Coco has taken great joy in helping Emmy become familiar with her new home.  Molly's playful nature has also been a joy as we all have enjoyed her exuberance to be in our home.  We thank you for the opportunity to give Molly and Emmy a good home and are grateful for the love they have given us.  Sincerely, The Sabel Family"

This is Molly, a 1-2 year old Tri-color....very sweet, laid back, and very happy now.

Barney was adopted by Adrianne & Bob Swwindeman
Barney's tail had to be removed because of a malignant tumor on his tail.  The vets are watching him but he remains in good health and weight.

Flash, who was adopted by Karen Hasenhauer and Bob Godwin, has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  His last two years were heaven on earth for a dog.  He will be missed by the 15 people at the Tennessee Vol Football tailgate who loved him, fed him junk food, and dressed him in a orange cape.  Flash never barked,..he HONKED! He would honk, and people would stop in their tracks!
Flash was 12 years old.  He came to TVBR with an old fracture of the hip, which could not be repaired both from the years of not having it fixed and because of his age.

Samuel - Rest in Peace
