Hello. We adopted Molly (aka April) last December. She was one of Nana’s puppies (the lab/boxer mixes). She is such a fantastic dog! She has been laid back and easy going since the day we got her. She is so smart! Almost too smart sometimes! She did very well in her obedience training courses last summer. Her favorite activities include swimming, walking, playing fetch, and riding in the car. She also acts as guardian to my cat. The cat often likes to “sneak” out the doggie door since she is not allowed to go outside. Molly always comes to me and alerts me when this has happened so that I can get her back inside safe and sound where she belongs!
Yesterday we added to our family by officially adopting Tonka. We had been fostering him for the past few months as he was recovering from a few things. He and Molly bonded immediately and she would be lost without him. Tonka had been through a lot in his “previous” life, so Molly has taken on the task of teaching him how to be a boxer in a real home. She has taught him how to play boxer games and of course, boxing! She has tried to show him her favorite game (retrieving, what else?!) but he gets as far as getting the ball, but never quite brings it back. We don’t thing Tonka had ever seen toys before coming to our house. They seemed like a foreign object to him. He is definitely coming into his own, and I am so thankful that Hobocare brought him onto our lives. Tonka’s favorite activities include cuddling, cuddling, and more cuddling! Thank you Marita for all you do. We could not have asked for two better dogs! I have a attached a couple of pictures for you (Molly is the black dog).

I just want to give you an update on Homer. First off, we changed his name to Harley...he just didn't look like a "Homer" to us. Secondly, he has been the best dog we could have hoped for. He is so good natured and sweet. He and our other boxer Rocco get along great!! They absolutely love each other. They will play play play all day and then by the end of the day they just cuddle up together like they've been together their whole lives. It's really very cute.
He is also very good with our two year old daughter. My husband and I are always asking, "Why would someone not want this dog? He is such a good boy." He has been a good influence on Rocco who will be 1 next month. We have noticed him picking up on Harley's good habits. We adopted Harley just before Thanksgiving and the past two months have been great. Harley is such a great addition to our family and we feel very lucky to have him with us.
I want to thank you and Karen Blazek (Harley's foster Mom) very much for helping us to give Harley a new home. We really appreciate everything that you and all the volunteer's do for these wonderful dogs who are just looking for second chance. We hope you will include our story and pictures in your success stories.
Here are some pictures of Harley and our other dog Rocco. (Harley is the brindle boxer.)

We wanted to send some pictures of Chelsea "Gracie" and her big brother Cynder. We got Chelsea from hobo about this time last year and she has been great. Even though Cynder out weighs her by 50lbs, she has found a way to push him around. We would like to thank you again for helping us bring her into our home and family. If you could, please send our thanks and pictures on to Marita and Chelsea's foster parents. Thanks once again and we hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season....
-- The Groom Family
We adopted Dore from Ho-Bo Care on November 13, 2006. She is a four year old fawn female who is the most lovable animal I have ever been around. She is adored by my two girls ages 10 and 7 and of coarse my husband and I. When we first brought her home the walking was little rough but it didn’t take long for her to figure it out. What a smart girl she is. I do not know how anyone could have given her up but we certainly reaped the benefits. I do not allow Dore or my male Cocker Spaniel to sleep on my bed, however, when the sun comes up she absolutely knows to get up and snuggle with me face to face chest to chest. It is the cutest thing ever. I really have a hard time getting out of bed because we are so busy snuggling. She does like to sleep in my 10 year olds bed but still runs into me in the morning. I feel very lucky; Ho-Bo care was able to place the perfect dog in our home.
Here are a couple pictures of the lovely Bailey. She is doing wonderful! We all love her so much especially our other doggy, Suga Bear. He is so happy to have a girlfriend. Bailey is so sweet and lovable and a very spoiled princess. We are so happy to have her as part of our family. Thank you Jill, Marita and also Bailey's previous owners. Hobo Care is wonderful!
Sincerely, The Gutierrez family
I thought I would update everyone on Venus and send some photos. She is doing so much better and she wants to run around and play but we are making her take it easy until she has fully recovered. I don’t know if you noticed since she wasn’t well when she was there but when she wags her tail she actually shakes her whole back end...we missed that! The first day she was home she wasn’t feeling well but from Sunday on every morning when we get up she shakes her but and gets excited...it’s so nice to have her home. Thanks again for everything each of you did to save our little girl.
