Candy is at my feet as I type this -- that's her spot when I'm at the computer. As a stay-at-home mom, she keeps me company throughout the day until my son gets out of preschool, and she's always happy to see him, too. She just turned 8 years old, and we've had her a little over a year now. When we got her from EGRR, she was grossly obese (102 lbs. at her max), which was really the only thing "wrong" with her, because she's a terrific dog. With proper diet and regular walks, she's now under 70 lbs. and looks great. She has a lot more energy and has a great time running around Marymoor dog park. Because she is so gentle, she's also a big hit at the local playgrounds, and kids just love her. She seems to know what we want even before we ask it, and we think she would probably make a good therapy dog. In short, life is good for her now, and ours has been enriched immeasurably. EGRR did a great job matching us up with her.

 

Hi! I'm Max, AKA AirMax (move over AirBud, I can jump straight up in the air 5 feet). My story starts out in Olympia, where I liked to runaway a lot. After my 4th visit to the animal shelter, my family didn't return for me. EGRR came and I lived with a wonderful foster family. I was heartbroken to leave them, but my forever family loved me from the minute I arrived. At first I tried to runaway again, but we worked hard everyday, went to Manners Class (I was terrible in class, but I was a star when it was time to work), and then we worked even more. I have been here a year now, and I don't want to run away. I love my family. I have a 3 year old little girl to take care of, she thinks she's the Dog Whisperer. I play along, there's always treats in it for me. I like to steal her stuffed animals, that gets me lots of attention from both Mom and my little girl. I am about 2-1/2, I like to be busy. To wear me out, I go to Doggie daycare once a week and Mom and I hike, once or twice a week at Pt. Defiance, when the weather permits we go to Fort Steilacoom Dog Park. I'm glad its almost summer, Mom is talking about taking me to Agility Classes, I can't wait, I just hope the teacher doesn't talk to much so I can be good and work hard.
