Savannah

In the Spring of 2007, Phoenix Animal Rescue Executive Director, Michelle Dunlap, went to the Bradford County Animal Shelter to meet a litter of 6 doberman mix puppies. While she was there, she also met a litter of 7 brown puppies and decided to take all 13 puppies home. Because it was the Rescue's first project with this very rural shelter, Michelle decided to name them for country music singers. One of our "country girls" was Tanya Tucker. She was renamed Savannah and we just got a great update on her from her adopters.


We adopted Savannah in April or May 2008. She is an excellent pet. She loves to run, play with toys, and play with our other dog, Winston. Savannah and Winston wrestle and play at 7 am and 9 pm every day. Although Winston is much bigger than Savannah, she is much faster and is able to hold her own.

Savannah shows her whippet roots every day when she goes for her run. We live on a deadend road with very little traffic and she is able to run off leash. She is so beautiful when she is running. She runs about 3-4 miles daily and takes a dip in the river to cool off and still has plenty of energy in the evening.

Winston is 10 years old and before Savannah came into his life, he was having trouble with arthritis and stiff joints. No more. He has the agility and energy that he had 4 years ago. Savannah has been a blessing to the whole family. Thank you for letting us adopt her.


Sincerely,
Beverly and Shelby Gunter

Thank you, Beverly and Shelby, for choosing Savannah to be part of your family! We're so glad Winston has enjoyed Savannah's company. What a great update!

Savannah was adopted from Phoenix Animal Rescue through phoenixanimalrescue.petfinder.org.
