My Nonprofit Reviews

After losing our beloved Keeshond, April Ann, to cancer, we contacted SCKR to see if there were any available Kees that we could welcome into our family. We met Susan McCoy and several wonderful volunteers and many beautiful Keeshonds that were ready to be adopted. We were open to male or female Kees- it did not matter. We let the dogs choose us. You see, we had a large mixed-breed dog (Harley)who was a gentle giant and he too, was in need of a companion. All of our hearts were broken with the loss of April Ann and we needed to fill the gap. We spent several hours talking to the volunteers and loving all the Kees and all were well-groomed. I must say that the volunteers do a magnificent job at keeping their adoptees ready for new homes. I loved all the dogs but did not get a good response from them. They were happy with their foster families or did not like the idea of a big dog. As I was talking to one of the volunteers, she directed me to 2 Keeshond that I had not yet seen. Two females, so beautiful I cried. After sitting on the ground and talking to them, they crawled into my lap and let me love them. I was so very happy. The tears of joy just kept coming for I had found not 1 but 2 gorgeous dogs to love. Just to be sure this was a good choice, we put a stake in the ground and put the big dog's (Harley) leash on it beside the 2 Keeshonds. We left them along for about 45 minutes, always checking at a glance but waiting to see how they would react to each other. Upon our return, the 2 Keeshonds were snuggled up inside the belly part of Harley and all 3 were asleep. We adopted both Annie and Grandma a9a name we gave her) and headed home to Las Vegas. We keep in contact with SCKR and send photos and updates about our rescues and they are so very loving and careful about who adopts their dogs. This is comforting to us as parents. Since adopting Annie and Grandma, we also were lucky enough to adopt another from SCKR. Sunny is our newest addition to the family. All of these dogs are the most loving dogs who have enriched our lives.
SCKR cares about the health and well being of all the dogs the rescue and the families that adopt them. It just does not get any better than that.
