I adopted a dog one year ago, I think you guys called her Magic. She is doing amazing, she knows a couple tricks and is great in spite of her affinity for socks. She’s almost 60lbs now and loves the dog park. She does amazing with other dogs and other people. Thank you for helping…

Hi! Just an update on Snicker/Gracie. She was spayed and microchipped yesterday and is doing great. I can’t even begin to tell you how much joy she has brought to our lives!! She is so cute, sweet, loving, and fun. She loves her toys, playing outside with us, and is walking well on a leash….

My boyfriend and I adopted Luna (formerly Oakley) about 3-4 months ago… here is a picture of her now! She’s absolutely amazing!! I was just wondering if you knew much about her parents? We’re trying to figure out what she’s mixed with, so many people ask because she’s just got the absolute best personality, everyone…

Hello! My name is Alexis and I adopted Sammy, a GSP from you guys in September 2017. I recently got the urge to reach out to y’all and tell you how much of a positive impact he has had on my life (and hopefully, I’ve had on his). Sammy is my entire world, and I…

The kids turned 1 in June! We had a messy, watermelon party and all the dogs partook.They’re a lot bigger now (part Great Pyr), and doing great. Hannah, I discovered has a real love for water. The first time she went into a pool, it took me over half an hour to get her out!…

This is Jaclyn Basiley. I just wanted to give you an update, I adopted one of the white German Shepherd puppies in July 2020. She has become my best friend, perfect behavior because she was a breeze to train and I look forward to every day because of her. Thank you for bringing me to…

I can hardly believe it’s only been 6 weeks, but she’s settled in wonderfully! First of all, we decided to change her name from Lola to Roxie. She just seemed to need a sparky name. J The first couple of weeks were bumpy because she was so nervous. She took pretty well to me, but…

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that Mr. Sprout (now named Keisel) is doing amazing. He is still a little timid in situations but is warming up so nicely. His personality is really showing. He is getting used to a leash on walks and is a big cuddler. Thank…

We are Toby’s new parents! We adopted Toby about four months ago and he has turned out to be a joy for us. We are empty nester’s now, but Toby has become our new baby boy. At first, he was afraid of his surroundings a tad and was not sure where his bathroom was –…

Here are some updated pictures of our sweet Schmancy. We picked her up early March. When we brought her home she immediately bonded with me and her sister Charlie. It took her a minute to trust her dad. Because he is Charlie’s favorite, I was secretly happy to have a child who favored me more….

 Max, aka Frosty, enjoyed his second trip to the groomer today!  Marcie and him went and stayed together, even in the kennel, like last time…he was not liking the dermal tool on his nails.  This time we decided to get a true Westie cut …we left it longer in the summer…the vet was concerned about…

“Madonna”, now Willow.  She cleans up really nice and she is doing much better.  She is still a little shy about some things, but very playful and with a fun personality.

Penny is doing wonderfully. She’s lost all her extra weight and is in confidence building class to help her with her anxiety issues. She is such a sweet, sweet darling dog. Whenever one of us comes home, she wiggles her butt so hard that sometimes she falls over because she’s thrown off balance. She has…

He is such a love! He is sleeping on my lap in his bed as I type this….Best work from home day ever 🙂 Wanted to thank you again for everything. The packet with medical info, tips etc is wonderful. What a wonderful pup! We are seeing more of his personality (his funny singing bark,…

Cowgirl is now Coco, and she is adjusting very well to her new life.  She’s a laid back girl, until she’s not!  She can walk in her pretty purple harness like there’s no tomorrow, and she sleeps wherever she pleases.  Shyness was her prevailing disposition, but in a short time, Coco is becoming quite the…

Moonshine’s favorite toy

“Bo” has not gotten very spoiled… This is how he chooses to sleep.

Aster is settling in wonderfully. She spent the first two days sleeping but is now showing us that she wants to relive her puppy stage. She is an absolute goof. She is already housebroken and crate training has gone well. Someone spoiled this girl rotten before she went out on her own. She is so…

  Shanti (now goes by the name of “Muffy”) wants to thank her rescue mother for her care and letting us adopt her.  Aside from losing 12 teeth, she is in excellent health according to Dr. Ford, her new vet.  She is so happy in her new home and has a large yard to chase…

Danny is doing great! He was a little nervous at first, but has settled right into our routine. Our boys adore him and he fits right in! I would have sent a pic sooner, but he is a bit camera-shy. Whenever I get close enough for a picture he thinks I am coming to give…

Just wanted to check in with you and let you know that Petie’s doing great with us. He has become great friends with our other dog, Brun. We had a party over the weekend with 10 kids under the age of 8 and every single one of them played with Petie. Petie loved it and…

Bentley has found a very happy new home playing with his new owner – and getting along with all – maybe with the exception of the cat, that just tolerates him!

Hi David and Dinesha, Tessca and I have been together for 2 weeks and it is going fantastic!  She and I are getting familiar with one another and it seems like she is adjusting well.  Turns out, she is a very mischievous little girl and if she can get her mouth on anything, she’ll eat…

A little less than a year ago my husband and I adopted a (mostly) shih tzu from yall. At the time his name was Bluff. We changed it to Boomer. We cannot thank you enough for providing him to our family! The entire process, from adopting him to living with him was great. We have another…

We just wanted to thank you for taking care of our Lilly until we could adopt her. She has only been here a few days and she is right at home. She is such a love bug, she never wants to leave our laps. Only a few days and we already love her. Thank you…

 Hi, here is a pic of Wuppie the Chinese Crested I adopted. She is a doll, in her new bed.

Francine came from a puppy mill where she was kept in a crate and used for breeding. When adb got her even on the floor all she did was run in circles.Adb kept her for several months to adjust and socialize; recently she was adopted and look at her now! A fashion diva!

This is Scrappy in his new home.  Scrappy came from a breeder and was just as feral as they come.  He would bite anyone.  We had to put signs on his crate not to put fingers or hands inside.  But, he loved his girlfriend Jordan, a white  Chinese powderpuff.  And he loved volunteer Jordan.  She…

Just wanted to give you an update on Doc.  We just love him so much.  He brings so much laughter and happiness to our home.  Our “pack” loves him.  He gets daily walks and teeth brushing and lots of affection.

Remember Sammy from last summer? Bichon mix. We just took him to the vet for his shots and they did a heartworm test and he is negative. He was positive when you had him but mild, so the preventive did the trick. Just wanted to let you know he’s doing great and everyone who meets…

This is Lola Belle (formerly known as Denison) and our other baby Chester. I adopted Lola from y’all about 3 weeks ago. She is such a great addition to our family and we love her so much! She is a very happy girl and I think she loves her new home! Thank you, not only…

Duke was adopted out from A Different Breed when he was just a puppy, but was returned after a few months because he had too much energy for his first family (of course we LOVE his happy energy!) Catahoula hounds have historically been used as a working dog (herding cattle, tracking, hunting, etc) so it…

Rookie came to A Different Breed about a year ago from a puppy mill that had closed its doors. He was so scared he would huddle in the corner of his crate and we had a hard time even getting him to come out. During his second week with ADB, he jumped off a chair…

Tinkerbelle came to A Different Breed from the Marshall Animal Shelter. We think she probably came from a puppy mill. She was very malnourished; just skin and bones and her fur was completely matted. We discovered that she had such a bad infection in her mouth she had to have surgery to have much of…

Daisy was picked up by A Different Breed at an animal shelter, and tested positive for heartworms. A wonderful family in Oklahoma found out about Daisy and they knew right away that she was the dog for them. One of our ADB volunteers took her in as a foster until her new family could make…
