I just wanted to send a quick THANK YOU for helping me find Lexi! Her transition to my apartment was very smooth. I chose not to crate her because, since she’s old, I want her to enjoy her last few years as much as possible. She’s had no potty accidents, she’s eating regularly, and she’s adapting to my schedule perfectly.
Lexi is my little fluffy lovebug, and I’m so glad I could give her a home. I take her with me whenever I get a chance - her new favorite thing to do is sit outside with me at Starbucks and people-watch while I work on my laptop (as seen in the video clip below). She basically has a fan club now ![]()
Please keep in touch and I’m sure I’ll be back soon with little miss Lexi. Thank you again for making the process an easy one.
- Molly D.
Lexi’s long-time ‘sibling’, Zak, will likely be adopted soon, and Molly is eager to bring Lexi back for a reunion! Thanks to Molly for making Lexi a part of her family.
If you’d like to help senior animals like Lexi get blood tests and other medical care before adoption, please donate today.

Hogan Beauregard Byrne here (formerly Goose)
January 3rd, 2012
Hello and Happy New Year!
Hogan Beauregard Byrne here (formerly Goose)! They call me Hogey Bogey for short. As far as my new name, Mom says I am named after one of the great golfers of all time – Ben Hogan --- and she chose Beauregard so she could shorten it to Bogey (which is 1 over par in golf). I am not sure what golf is all about, but I learned my new name in less than a day. Mom & Dad say I act like a goose, mostly because I am silly. However, when I wake up in the morning I roll over on my back, stretch my front paws over my head and my back legs straight out and then make a sort of honking sound.
Enough about my new name, I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things are going in my new life. First off, I have been very busy exploring my new home. We celebrated something called Christmas. Based on my history, Mom & Dad think this was my first Christmas in a real home.

Sorry it took a while to get back with you. Tess and I are so busy with work and school, and of course Dexter (formally Blue Bear lol). Where to begin... Today marks three months of having Dexter and to be honest, it feels like we have had him forever. We couldn't imagine not having him around.
