Korky Lobo aka Veterok
Meet “Korky Lobo” our new family member.
We kept looking and my sister, Susan, found our baby at Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, where she is a volunteer and fund raiser.
We went out Weds. 9/28 and I loved him right away. Sheba was shy at first but warmed up and finally showed that she was okay with him. As a young Siberian he just loved me and Sheba tons!! So sweet, playful and happy…..like you all said, “You will know when your dog meets you”
He is just great, not a Shepherd but perfect for us and so happy in his new home. Korky loves people especially kids, he just lights up when he sees one….must have lived with kids, but wound up unclaimed or looked for at the shelter. Sheba moved aside to let him jump into her SUV (fixed in back for dogs, H2O, blankets, toys) and she let him lay near her for the 100 mile + ride home. At the house, Sheba went in first and then let him come in…..no problems at all. Food time went well, he already knows the routine and his plates & place ….again no conflict… So I am glad to have kept on with the shelter/rescue route …thanks for all your encouragement and advice.
Also, the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation is the best animal facility I have ever seen. Clean, spacious, uncrowded dog/cat enclosures. Lots of healthy, happy cats and dogs that was amazing and beautiful. They could sell these cats & Dogs for a lot .Lots of purebreds like our Korky. They do a fantastic job and I wish you all could see it. Loads of play space and separate enclosures with a big dog playground and swim space too. No wonder the dogs were so happy and healthy. Peta would love the place & staff. I wish I lived closer so I could volunteer. I hope someday all you terrific animal lovers and helpers can meet ………to us you are all heroes.
Thanks again,
Dave & Sheba “The Senior Mom”
PS already they are so attached to each other….slept together on the couch near me on their first night
Bee Bee
I had a preconceived idea I could not handle a Jack Russell. They have a reputation for being full of energy, and I was so sure she would have too much for me to handle. Yet somehow my Angels were directing this adoption, and I ended up with the dog I was suppose to have, adorable, sweet smart and talented Bee Bee.
She came into my life just before Christmas 2010 and all I can say is it gets better everyday. I am amazed by her constantly, that this sweet little girl is learning to trust me and is so precious. We have hardly been apart and of course she is right beside me in bed every night. This cute little critter has not had one accident in the house is very obedient and very attentive. I know she had a hard life before she arrived (a litter, a large cut on her leg, and being taken by the Humane society) but she has learned to adapt to her new life brilliantly.
We spend half of our week in the city and the other out East. This little girl knows the city building well in advance, I let her off leash and she runs up the stairs of the building and then onto the apt and stops at the door. She has learned to deal with city noises and gets more and more comfortable with every trip.
When in the Hampton’s we walk with our friends on the beach and she runs free and is so happy. It is an absolute pleasure to watch her jump for joy and to let me know how happy she is, that I am sure my heart will burst with love and pride.
Thank you for bringing this bundle of joy into my life. And I thank my dear friend Jonathon McCann for trusting that I was ready to be a parent and gently encouraged me along the way to go forward.
I cannot thank him enough for this incredible gift.
Much Love
Linda and Bee Bee
Renny
My husband and I adopted our dog Renny a year and a half ago. Back then she was known as Peanut, and she was incredibly skinny with a bad skin condition. We could tell when we saw her, though, that she was something special. She just sat in her cage with her tail wagging and looked up at us with her expressive eyes, telling us in her own way that she was meant to be taken to our home. She became our little baby right away and we love her so much that we even cut our honeymoon short because we missed her terribly. She is the most loving, funny, smart and adorable dog we’ve ever known. Every day with her is a joy, and we thank the Southampton Animal Shelter for bringing her into our lives.

Logan
Logan came to the shelter as an 8-week-old puppy in October 2004. She was adopted soon after and was in her home for 5 years before her adopter’s life changed and he could no longer keep her. She spent almost 3 months back here as our special shelter spokes-dog before she found her forever home. Now it looks like she’s settling in quite nicely.
Quinn and Family
Quinn is our beautiful dog we adopted from you this summer in August at the Hampton Classic horse show and we wanted to give you a update on him. We attached some wonderful pics. He is a special puppy and has given us alot of happiness. It did take him a longgggger than most to get housebroken but he is now getting the hang of it so it makes life for all of us better now 
Thank you for the most special friend.
Paige, Zachary, Mackenzie, and of course Quinn
Maya
I adopted Maya from your shelter in Dec 2008. We are coming up on our 2 year anniversary together.
She is now about 11 years old. She is the perfect dog in every way (please don’t tell my other dogs what I said!)
Things have changed quite a bit for Maya. She is always smiling as you can see from the pictures. She is my best friend, and her other best friend is a beagle whom we adopted at age 12 from Riverhead last year. They are wonderful sisters together, as you can see. Maya has taken to swimming in the summer time, following the beagles lead. Its good for her arthritis. What a good girl Maya is. How loving! How she has changed my life for the better. How can I ever repay you for bringing her to me. I had just come in to walk dogs, never thinking I could ever keep one, because of my job. well, Maya is a keeper!
In profound gratitude,
Denise Heyse
