Success Stories
Duncan, a 75 lb rhodesian ridgeback cross
Since one never knows what type of temperament an adopted dog will have, we were extremely surprised to find out the shy, mild-mannered dog we had to pull out of the Humane Society kennel turned out to be a whirling dervish who did nothing we asked him to do. He ate...
Roxie, an Australian Shepherd
After we lost our first dog, Addie, we were fortunate to find Roxie and bring her home with us. Addie was a fabulous, smart girl, but we spoiled her and never made her mind. We were determined that we would do a much better job of socializing and training Roxie. Our...
Sara was afraid of everything
To most people seeing a picture of a dog standing relaxed amoung a crowd of people and other dogs may not be impressive but if they a had seen poor Sara earlier this year they would be amazed. I know I am. Sara was terrified of strangers, unknown dogs, new places,...
Badger and Mamadog had been feral dogs
Guess it's been a little over a year since you came out and helped us with Badger and Mamadog. As you remember, Mamadog (Badger's mama) was a rescued feral dog...vicious and aggressive to people and other dogs. I was ready to have her put down, but Sally convinced me...
Dodger almost lost a home

Beau, an English lab
Our family loves Tod!! From the very first time we talked to Tod about getting a dog, he began directing us in the best choice of dog for our family. Knowing we wanted a lab, he told us which breed would fit our family perfectly…an English lab. He was wonderful in...
Lira, a Portugese Water Dog
Dear Tod, Thank you so much for all of your hard work with Lira. We had been wanting a Portugese Water Dog for several years. We researched the breed & were put on a waiting list for a year before we were finally able to adopt one. But with all of our research we...
Bailey, an English Pointer
Bailey is a two year old English Pointer we adopted from Frisco Humane Society to be a friend to our other dog (Coach). The two of them were fast friends but she was timid, shy, shaking all the time and had no obvious obedience training. After researching Tod and the...
Thor, Siberian Husky
We have a Siberian Husky named Thor that weighs 67 pounds. When Thor met Tod for the first time, he left 2 paw prints on his shoulders. Thor jumped on people and we really didn’t have a lot of control over him. He basically ruled us. Indoors Thor was just okay and...
