Great Pet

We had our dog Sinatra for almost eleven years. He was a beautiful solid white Husky with blue eyes. He was a great pet and we were heart broken when he died. We buried him in his favorite spot in the back yard and still visit his grave almost daily. There is not a day goes by that we don't miss him. We decided that we would not get another dog because no other dog could replace Sinatra. We waited for about six months before my husband went to the Madison A.R. F. website. He found a Husky on the site and called about him. There was a lonely feeling in our house without Sinatra and my husband felt like we needed something in our lives. The people who had the Husky were wonderful. They had taken very good care of him while they were trying to find him a home. Apparently he had gotten lost from his family and after about two months of searching for his owners he was put out for adoption. He was brought to our home for a visit to see if we liked him and he liked us.
We loved him from the very beginning. He is black, white and brown with blue eyes and is a lovely,well behaved dog. We are so glad that we contacted Madison A.R.F. We are very happy with Haze. He is as sweet as Sinatra and I think they would have liked each other. I recommend the rescue foundation to anyone. Haze is a real blessing to us.

Alfie Rescued US!

Thank you so much for checking in on how Alfie is doing! I can honestly say, we have never had one issue with him. He immediately took to our family, never does one thing considered to be a behavior issue, and I'd never trade him for a million dogs! Or dollars for that matter! Alfie came into our lives at a time that was so difficult for us--especially for me. We had a newfoundland mix we adopted from our local shelter on the day he was to be put down. He was around 3 years old and he was with us til he passed last year at around 13 years. You all know the devastation of losing a family member. There could never be another Duke, but Alfie has filled a tremendous void and we love him just as much as we loved Duke. I can't imagine how anyone could ever have let him go, but I'm so grateful that they did, and that you chose us to bring him into our family! I can never thank you enough! And a special thanks to our now dear friend Josie for the care she provided him duri
ng his stay with MARF, and for checking up on him AND us through these months since we've met. We love you Josie!

Here are some photos. Alfie with one of our grandchildren--he loves them! And Alfie discovering snow. He had no idea he was a snowdog and wasn't too sure about it at first, but once he flopped down into it he never wanted to stop! We had to practically carry him in the house--and that's not easy with a 140 lb dog!
