 The shelter staff then began looking for rescue transport for Griffon. However, because of hurricaine Irene, transportation to the east coast was proving to be quite the challenge. We then decided that Griffon would have to hop on a plane to get to his new home. The new owners were generous enough to purchase an airline ticket for Griffon and finally, after a long time waiting, Griffon was on his way to Des Moines International Airport to fly to his new home in the city. Lindsey, the new director, brought him to Des Moines on September 21 along with a nice new crate, a pigs ear, and a new alligator squeaky toy. Griffon arrived in New York City to begin his new life at around 8pm. It seems that this country dog is having no problem adjusting to big city life and we at the SMAS are so happy for him! 
Hi!
Just wanted to send you some recent pics of Clyde. He's
not a puppy anymore, but still chews and eats everything
he can! For a short dog, he can reach more than you'd
think. We go to the dog park a lot and everyone thinks
he's very cute. His favorite game is to steal toys and
get a conga line of dogs to chase him all over the park.
He also really enjoys swimming in the pond and fetching
balls from the water. Boomer, our other dog, adores
him and the cats tolerate his wrestling and chewing
on them. Which is good, because they're his favorite
squeak toys. Clyde is learning manners and self control,
but as a teenager, the progress is slow. He can jump
up to your face and tends to bash noses, but we're working
on it. We love him a lot and are very happy that you
chose us to adopt him.
Thanks!

Hello ladies!
Just wanted to give you an update on Shelby. She is
adjusting great and getting along with Lilli wonderfully.
We took her on a field trip to the vet yesterday and
had shot, nails clipped, and blood work done.
So far only one potty accident but otherwise she's
been going outside. She sleeps well in her new crate
at night and naps on the sofa or chairs, where ever
she finds a comfy place. She is so loved here and seems
very happy. Lot's of new friends and family and next
week she will meet her groomer. I did give her a bath
when we got home Tuesday night and she was terrific!
Thanks for all that you have done with her and I'll
keep in touch!
The Weyer Family, Randy, Dawn, Morgan, Lilli and Shelby
P.S. Do you have the name of the vet who found her
kidney/bladder stone? My vet would like further information
for her records. Thank you.
