Chelsea and Bill forever!

2015 - Chelsea & Bill forever!

Dedicated to my younger brother," Little Joe" , a true lover of Family and Animals. 1954-2014.

Additional special dedication to Helen Evers who introduced me to" Animals Rule", She was relentless in convincing me adoption is truly a heartwarming experience. I am grateful for her concern for animals.

Additional thanks and dedication coming from Chelsea to "Animals Rule" Stephanie and Shannon and the dedicated staff and volunteers. Chelsea would like each of you to know she is so pleased to have a happy and long term home, 2 meals, plenty of treats, games, fun and walks to Auntie Helens, who always has a treat "for me". She is so grateful to be one of the "1908 animals to date" to be saved and safely placed by "Animals Rule" in a safe and forever home".

Chelsea mastered this trick in less than 5 months after her adoption. So row your boat ashore and adopt! It is a heartwarming experience. Animals have the ability to become a part of the family they also have their way of saying thank you for the time together, rescued/adopted animals show a true sense of appreciation.

Thank you "Animals Rule" for all you do, for the very deserving animals in need. You are truly among the very best in doing what you do on their behalf.

Bill Lupis.

Reeses & Snickers found a home together

Update August 2015

"We have arrived at our new home in Newport Beach! Our new staff are treating us well with regular meals, tummy rubbing, toys, and petting. We are thanking them with purrs! We met our new doctor/vet today and got a good report. We are now 3lbs 3 oz and 3lbs 13 oz and growing fast. I think this is going to be a wonderful place for us. We named them Lilian and Jackson, after the author of the “Cat Who....” books written by Lilian Jackson Braun. These are mysteries that the two Siamese cats (Koko and YumYum) always are involved with solving. I hope they will suit them. Thanks again! They are adorable and frisky and entertaining and sweet!"

Thank you to Animals Rule rescue!

Best regards,

"Charlie is doing awesome! He loves all of us now he is dong great with my husband and my oldest son. We ALL love him so much and are so happy to be able to say this is a success story! He even went camping with us for a few days and loved it! He is a completely different dog from the day we got him to today. He is very sweet and loving and loves to be loved on by his new family. Thank you for checking in. We absolutely are adopting him! There is no way our family could give him back. Let me know what I need to do on my end to make this official."

Sonya is now Bella and doing great

Update August 2015

"I thought I would give you an update on Bella. Things are going very well. We had a trip to Mammoth planned for last weekend, but because Bella does not have all her shots, I stayed home with her and Roxy. We had a great weekend - lots of bonding! Things have calmed down, and Bella and Roxy are figuring things out. Roxy is not nipping so much at Bella's neck, and she is not playing quite so hard. Bella is playing a little harder, but not too much. Her teeth are SHARP!

Bella is eating well, and pooping A LOT! She was using the puppy pads much better when we first brought her home than she is lately, so I don't know if I am confusing her or what. I take her outside regularly, right when she wakes up, after she eats, when she seems like she is looking for a spot, etc. I don't know... not a big issue, but something I need to figure out.

I am feeling very positive about the whole thing and I am so glad things have settled down. Bella is a sweet dog and we can really tell that Barb did a lot with her before we got her. Barb has been so helpful and the videos we have exchanged were invaluable! It's been fun learning how to do this all over again!

Thank you so much for helping me with Bella, she is truly a great dog and I love having her!"

Kitana is now Ripley and found a wonderful home

Update - August 2015

"Good Morning! We have re-named our tiny ball of love "Ripley" and we could not be happier with her!! She felt right at home the moment she walked in! Not scared or timid. Acclimated better than expected. Walked in owning the place. A very big difference from our first days with Havana who was incredibly shy and insecure and took a while to feel comfortable. She still is a bit on the timid side. We're feeding her separately so she might still need time to adjust. She seems to get excited and want to run and try Havanas food.

Definitely a few accidents which is to be expected but we're doing our best to crate train/potty train the way we did with Havana in the beginning and worked very well. I can't remember the last time Havi had an accident. We do crate her at night in our bedroom and she cried and howled the first 2 night for about 5-10 minutes before quieting and falling asleep and last night she went in no problem and slept without crying.

The dogs are definitely friends and playing a lot. Jimmy and I try to keep an eye on their playing since ripley is soo small. Once or twice little ripley caught a little bit of air from Havi being too strong. So like any new parents were trying to make sure it doesn't get too rough. But otherwise They follow each other everywhere and constantly sniff one another.

Overall we couldn't be happier. She is so spunky! So fearless! And has made herself right at home like she'd been with us for years"

Thank you again!

Bugsy now Lily found a great home

Update - August 2015

"I can't thank you enough! We just love this little girl. She is so affectionate, smart, and sweet!!! We did change her name to Lily, which she already responds to! She hasn't had a single accident since we got her - she is completely housebroken! She sleeps through the night without a peep, and is such a sweet cuddler. She and Nacho are the best of friends, alternating playing together and taking naps - Nacho has been a better boy since we got her, as he finally has all of his puppy energy out of him!! :) No problems eating at all! She has a particular fondness for Carl - she absolutely adores him and loves to be by his side! He is loving it, since Nacho always has favored me. This is even the quickest I've ever seen my parent's older dogs warm up to a dog - its as if they have known her for months! SO happy we decided to rescue - you did such a fantastic job training her, she is an absolute DELIGHT! We LOVE her SO much!"

Thank you!!!
