HAPPILY EVER AFTER
MABEL GOES TO VIRGINIA
In January, Mabel went to her forever home in Virginia. This is where I come out from behind the curtain - Mabel is now living with me, this page's webmaster (hi, I'm Caitlin). Mabel is such a sweet, smart, funny girl. She makes me laugh every day with her goofy antics, and is already a star at dog school. She's even been on a few hikes already! After years volunteering with AHOD, I'm thrilled to officially be part of the AHOD adopter family. I can say with absolute certainty that if you're thinking of adopting an AHOD dog, you should...your life (and the hound's) will be immeasurably better. <3
(Now I'll retreat back behind the curtain.)

MARIA AND ANITA'S TRIP TO OREGON
It truly takes a village to save a hound, and in this case, two! Maria and Anita's trip to their forever home in Oregon was aided by countless AHOD adopters and volunteers. Thank you to Abigail and Jason Fertal, Kathy and Erse Reed, and Pam Strickland for helping these girls cross the country. Thank you to everyone who was part of their rescue, rehabilitation, and care. Our greatest thanks go to Jane Tedeschi Thorburn and Miles Randy Thorburn who have given these girls the amazing life that they deserve: Maria and Anita are learning to hike, to play, and to snooze by the fire. We are so grateful, and so happy.

CHARLOTTE's PERFECT HOME
Our Charlotte has a home! Abbie and Jason Fertal are a HUGE part of AHOD, and have fostered many dogs of ours, loved them with all their hearts, and let them go to their fabulous forever homes, with bittersweet feelings. However, when they fostered our Charlotte, it became clear that Charlotte was meant to be with them. Charlotte now has a wonderful home with Abbie and Jason, their other dog Blue, and cat named Oliver! We are SO happy for this AHOD family! And Charlotte!

BUDDHA'S FLORIDA FAMILY
We can't tell who is happier here- Buddha or his new family. Buddha waited a long time to find the right home, but it was worth the wait! He is now a Central Florida dog and lives with a human mom, two rescued hound brothers, and kitties. We are so, so happy!!!

HOLLY HOUND IS HOME!
Our dear Holly is home! Although we adopt our hounds anywhere in the continental United States or Southern Canada, it's definitely fantastic when we can find perfect adopters right in our own backyard. Holly has a whole new family- including two human brothers, a human sister, and an adorable pug brother named Magnus. We are so, so excited for Holly's new life!

DOLLY'S JOURNEY HOME
With so many of our rescues, it takes a village- and Dolly's trip home is no exception. With two sets of volunteers, traveling from Louisiana to Virginia to Connecticut, Dolly had no short trip with no shortage of logistical challenges. But this is why all that effort is worth it: look at this happy family. Our hearts are full. Congratulations to Dolly and her wonderful new family!

BRUCE IS HOME!
Sometimes dogs wait for homes for a long time, and then the absolutely perfect home appears. This was the case with Bruce, who waited 16 months before he was adopted by a wonderful family in Virginia. Our hounds often seem to know that they are home forever, and Bruce was no exception- he ran right in like he had always lived there. We are so happy for Bruce, his new life, and his new family!

RUBY IS HOME!

Fantastic news! Our dear Ruby has been adopted by her foster family, including doggie siblings JoJo, Sheba, Pharoah, Daisy, and her best buddy, Blake. And of course, the amazing Stacey and Jim, her loving parents. We'll let Stacey talk about why:
"Ruby and I had a talk this evening. She said she knew we were looking for a great home for her, but if she did leave our house she would miss Blake sooooo much and she just really didn't want to go anywhere else. Blake, being the butt-inski that he is, told us he would need medication if she left him. Jim and I were not shocked by either conversation. We asked Ruby and Blake if they were sure about all this. They gave us a paws up. So, Jim and I would be honored to adopt Ruby and give a loving home to our sweet girl."
Sometimes, our foster families turn into the absolutely perfect forever homes. We could not be happier.
Happy Holidays to Ruby and her new forever family!

Our favorite kind of failure
Our smiling Rhett has a home! His foster family fell in love with him and decided he was meant to be a permanent part of the family. As you can see, he is a VERY lucky hound!
We absolutely rely on foster families to help socialize our dogs and prepare them for their forever homes. And sometimes our hounds end up in a foster family that turns out to be exactly the forever home they've been waiting for! We are so, so thrilled for Rhett and his new family- our favorite type of failure is a foster failure. |

SAMSON GETS A HOME!
Our beautiful, cuddly giant has a wonderful home in Michigan. His new family and hound brother (right) are so excited to welcome him into their home. We are so happy they are joining the AHOD family and we are thrilled that Samson will get tons of love.
