Dear Burt and Tracy,

I have to start off by saying 'Thank You' for letting me adopt "Ivan" and "Jersey."

They are the greatest, and loving to the whole family.

They are absolutely perfect with the kids and that means the world to me.

I currently babysit 2 kids along with my 2.

The ages in my house are 7 years, 4 years, 3 years and 1 year.

For the people out there who want to get one of your Gentle Giants, but are afraid they
will hurt the kids, I hope they will see my photos and understand that they truly are 
'Gentle Giants.'

When kids come over, they ask where are the 'Pretty Ponies,' they are so big they 
think they are 'Ponies,' not dogs.  Really, they are just members of our family and 
we love them!

We got "Jersey" when my daughter, Rylee, was just barely crawling, and it has been a 
truly great experience for her to grow up with such a big dog.

Thanks again.

You are wonderful people for doing all that you do.

I will continue to help in any way I can, and I am working on more donations.

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

Amanda with "Ivan" and "Jersey"

Dear Tracy and Burt:

Just wanted to drop you a line and send a couple pictures of "Rocky." He is a perfect fit with our family. We are still amazed and impressed that he came completely trained.

Although he is still a pup, he doesn't chew - or dig - and is thoroughly housebroken.

The gentle lead has made all the difference in the world in taking him for walks.

All children (young and old) love a St. Bernard and whenever we go for walks, inevitably someone will come up to pet him or "Daisy."

He is wonderful with everyone.

What a gentle spirit he has!

Thank you once again for the wonderful service you provide and for helping unite us with "Rocky."

We will definitely be back for another Gentle Giant.

Sincerely,

Diane and Steve

Hi Tracy, 

I just wanted to send you a few pictures of "Aslan" in his new home. 

The boys, "Kimbre Lynn" and I are so very excited that he's now part of our family. 

"Aslan's" done such a great job at trying to befriend the cats and being patient with 
"Kimbre Lynn." He's such a very gentle and loving boy! I never worry about him,
he's just such a love to ALL of our family members!!!

I'm not good with computers, but hope that these photos reach you. The first 
photo is of "Aslan" getting used to his new yard. The second is him gently meeting 
our blind cat "Sarah." The third photo is of “Aslan” sharing his new bed with his 
sister "Kimbre Lynn" and the fourth is "Aslan" and "Kimbre Lynn" enjoying the nice 
weather out back.

I'd like to say that we very much appreciate your facilitating the chance for us to
have"Aslan" and we all just want you to know that he is quickly becoming very
happy and starting to understand that he is, and will always be our family member.

I forgot to tell you that I took him in the van for a quick stop at the store. When we
returned and came in the front door, I took his lead off. He went directly over to my 
boys to check on them, and then went upstairs to check on my blind cat. After that, 
he went to the bed that he just received today. 

How more perfect could a big dog get? He is completely a love and a protector.

My boys are all around the neighborhood talking about "Aslan" . . as they should be.

Thank you again for helping us find our wonderful Sasquatch, "Aslan."

Michelle, Ryan and Logan
