Tyra was adopted on June 6th, 2001 by the Ward Family of Patchogue, New York, through an adoption arranged by IMPS volunteers Nan & John Peel. Tyra was a "special needs" puppy, but the Wards saw right away that this sweet little girl would fit right in with their family. Tyra is pictured here in the arms of her new Daddy (Tom), along with Mommy Barbara, Tommy & Nikki. Tyra is now the happiest little min pin puppy in the world!

Hi, Mag! I've got a few adoption pics for the website for you. Thanks!

Bess and Winston were adopted on January 5, 2003 by Mike Z. with the assistance of IMPS Volunteers John and Nan Peel. Here is Mike with his new "kids" -- Winston is on the left, and Bess is getting all comfy on the right. Winston and Bess also have a big brother named Bailey, who had previously been rescued by Mike and his mother. What a great home that's joined our IMPS Family!

Snickers was adopted on January 12, 2003 by John and Rosalie, with the assistance of IMPS Volunteers John and Nan Peel. Here are pictures of Snickers with his new Dad and Mom. Snickers also appears to have a calling as a Therapy Dog, as he's becoming a regular visitor at the nursing home where John's elderly mother lives. Snickers is brightening the days and bringing smiles to many elderly residents there. What a busy little dog he is!

Mag,

Hi there! How have you been? Over the weekend, Tina and Rusty were adopted (from NYS). Patti, their foster Mom, took them to their new forever home on Friday. I am attaching three pictures of when Tina and Rusty came over to play with Reggie and Rusty a few weeks ago. I will let you know if Patti took pictures (I suggested she take her camera!). If not, maybe she could send a little story of the two of them. I wish I could have taken them in myself. My husband said two is enough, though....

Thanks for posting these pics.

Hope you had a nice 4th.

Nancy

Hey all,

I have to share this story with you guys! I fostered Onyx for about a day then adopted her-lol I fell in love but she is the reason why I am not allowed to foster anymore- (says the hubby)

This 6yr. old, 5lb. is a laughing pip. She loves the water, rocks, leaves, anything that she can bring into her pool. I bought a small plastic pool from Toys R US, she can not get enough of it. Hours and hours outside.

I just took the water out since it was getting late and she got mad at me, brought everything back in her pool. LOL

I thought you guys might enjoy to see the pic. She is very happy with her brothers Rocco and Niko (min pins also) She gets very mad and lets out a bark when they jump into her pool.
