Xander

Xander
Hello, 
My name is Alex and I adopted my beautiful boy, Xander Valentine in September of last year.  He is a hairless Chinese Crested and was given the last name Valentine by his previous owner, because he was born on Valentine’s Day.

I truly believe that finding Xander was a gift from God.  I had just lost my job and went online to search for any Chinese Crested for adoption – when he popped up.  It was like 11 at night and the ad had just been posted and I replied right away.  Good thing I did because by the next morning, more than a dozen people had replied to the article, and I happened to be first in line. 

I went to visit Xander that afternoon and he was a little standoffish at first.  But throughout the week I went to see him a couple more times and he finally warmed up to me.  He has been such a joy in my life and considering my name is Alexander, he was destined to be a perfect fit.

Regards,
Alex Alvarez

Shaggy at home

Shaggy

Hi,
Name is Diana and my family and I adopted Shaggy on July 5, 2008.
He is a one year cocker spaniel and we could not have got a better dog
anywhere else. Not only is Shaggy gorgeous but he is very smart. He is such a happy
dog, his antics bring joy to everyone that sees him. Our whole family fell
in love with him. He was even house trained and knew some tricks.
 
I really want to thank Miami Dade Animal Services for all their work and effort.
Animals deserve to be loved and taken care of. Shaggy is a prime example of a great
dog that deserved a god home and that is exactly what he got.
 
Sincerily Grateful
Diana Alberich
