About seven years ago, we adopted "Sheeba", a 1-year-old Border Collie/Retreiver mix from your Fremont home. She was quite shy and nervous when we first got her.

I just wanted to share with you that she has brought incredible joy to our lives for my three daughters, my husband, and I.

I recently helped my mother adopt a small dog through NARF and saw your name, which reminded me of when we found Sheeba. Best of luck to you and all of those who work so hard to find loving homes for the dogs you care for."

Sincerely, Harla

"I adopted Damian last weekend at the adoption pet fair in Campbell. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful dog he is. He is fully house-broken, very attentive, and obedient.

"He adjusted very well and, I might add, very quickly. He seems to be happy and content.

"We are very pleased and just can't believe how lucky we are to have gotten such a wonderful dog.

"Thank you." Vicki.

Remember little "Pooh"? He is now known as "Lucky" because we feel we got lucky to have found him, and he got lucky as well. He sure made my Holiday a lot brighter.

"Everyone loves Lucky. He takes a long, leisurely walk around the neighborhood once a day. Passers-by always get to smiling when they look down to him.

"In our backyard, he loves chasing squirrels who scurry about in the tall walnut tree branches. Lucky jumps about 5 feet high, flinging his curly little body at the fence, hoping of catching one!

"He is sitting in my lap (his favorite spot) as I type this note to you! Best wished in 2001."

About four years ago, we adopted a wonderful Terrier mix from you, and she has been nothing but love to us all.

"I just wanted to thank you for your services that you provide and for the wonderful experience we have had.

"Soon I will be looking for a dog, as soon as I find a house, and NARF is going to be my first stop.

"I will tell everyone interested in a new pet to look here first."

"You guys are great. Thank you."
