Fetzer Courtesy listed by CBTW. Patiently fostered and rehomed by Dogs in progress |
Nicky survived the dental and duly moved to the Sahiner household, joing BT Tumnus, "street rescue" Parker-not-a-BT and weekly visiting BT, Sensei.
In the months that have followed, the change in Nicky has been remarkable. A testament to what a difference a loving forever home can make to even an old dog. Although he likes to sleep a lot as befits a venerable gentleman his age, he also enjoys his daily walks and wrestling with Tumnus, almost twelve years hus Junior.
Nicky celebrated his fifteenth birthday on February 26, 2011.
Sadly, Nicholas went to wait at the Rainbow Bridge on August 2nd, 2011. You can read a wonderful tribute to this stoic senior here

We were saddened to learn of Zipper's passing in February 2009 but Mac enjoyed a new friend in Chelsea - another "special needs" Border who landed on her feet with David and Kathy. Mac went to join his buddy Zipper at the Bridge in March of 2012 at the ripe old age of 16.

Kudos to the NABTW Reps who put Christmas on hold to get Adam into a foster home. Finally, after a 2000 mile trek, Adam arrived in his "forever home" in Ontario on January 10, 2004.
Distance is no object when it comes to placing a BT in the right home.
Adam is pictured in his new home in January.
Sadly, Adam's new found buddy, Eric Dunham passed away in the summer of 2004. Click here to read how the exchange of love between the Dunham family and Adam will live on for generations to come
It was with great sadness that we learned that Adam followed his friend Eric to the Rainbow Bridge in 2005. Gwynneth Dunham joined them at the bridge on August 15, 2008.
After 6 years in the best home she could possibly wish for, Mandy succumbed to cancer on May 17, 2012 just shy of her fifteenth birthday. Sleep well old girl you were truly "well loved".
