Hello,
Just thought I would take a minute and drop you a line and a few pictures. I adapted Tiny (Known to most as Garth during his time with you) back in early Spring/late Winter of this year. He is pure Rottie and I must admit I had never owned a dog of his size before and was a little apprehensive at first, but soon found I had a major snuggle bug on my hands. It didn't take long and his timid aloofness gave way to the real dog just waiting to please any person willing to give him even the smallest amount of attention

.

His previous training was very evident as he never offers to jump up on anyone, steers clear of climbing on any furniture, and knows all of his voice commands including sit, lay, and stay. We have since added a few like shake and heel, but I surely couldn't have hoped for anything more from a stray dog. He is completely house trained and will even wake me
up in the middle of the night if he really needs to go out.
A guard dog he is not! He has only barked twice since I got him, both
times at a passing siren. He is so gentle that when he came across a
baby fawn in a road ditch near our house he licked and cleaned it from
end to end. Most of the neighborhood kids refer to him as "Carl" from the series of children's books and his prior history with a family is very evident by his playful demeanor and kisses to the face of any little person he encounters. When playtime in my large front yard is over he will often times try to follow the kids home and has even tried to get into my sister's minivan so that the he didn't have to leave his little play partners.

I just wanted to thank you for offering a great service to the
community and for finding me my new best friend!
