MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION – An interview with Mr. Winston
AZBTR News – First - how did you end up in rescue? Winston: My former dad started to travel a lot with his new lady friend, so I spent most of my time at a boarding facility. Eventually, my dad called AZBTR to surrender me. I’m lucky that AZBTR came to get me and then gave me such a great foster family!
AZBTR News – What is your resolution for the New Year? Winston: My resolution is to find my fur-ever home. I’ve been looking for my fur-ever family since I joined AZBTR in September 2011. I attended a few adoption events, but my fur-ever family wasn’t there. They may have gotten me confused with the other Winstons that were rescued by AZBTR – there were two others in the AZBTR family in 2011! I’m Winston the Third, or Mr. Winston, as I am better known. AZBTR News – How can your fur-ever family recognize you at an adoption event? Winston: I am a distinguished 11 year old man with a touch of grey (like George Clooney!) and perfectly tipped ears. I have long legs and I am a lean BT machine. I've been told that I have a very sweet face, too. My manners are impeccable and I’m not bouncy like the younger BTs; although I do get excited when it's time to eat, play, and go on my twice daily walks. AZBTR News – Is it possible that your fur-ever family doesn’t know you are missing yet? Winston: I’m sure they’ve noticed an empty spot on the sofa and on their laps. They’ve probably been lonely during naptime and wished they had a good snuggle buddy. There is a chance that their other dog is searching for a partner for tug-o-war. And it is possible that my fur-ever family has children that are looking for a dog that loves to be petted. AZBTR News – What can your fur-ever family look forward to when they find you? Winston: I am an easy dog to love. Caring for me doesn’t take much work because I enjoy bath time and getting my nails trimmed. I get two creams put in my eye because I have dry eye, but I don't mind it at all. I sit still during my medication time and my foster parents are very gentle with me. I am hearty eater and my doctor says I’m in great health. Most of all, am a great companion – I’ll go anywhere in the car, I will play dress up during Halloween, and I’m quiet when the TV is on. AZBTR News – If your foster family was asked to describe you using only three words, what words would they use? Winston: Snuggly, gentle, and reserved. AZBTR News – Is there anything else we can do to help you find your fur-ever home? Winston: Could you post some cute photos of me? AZBTR News – Of course we can.   
If you are interested in being Mr. Winston’s fur-ever home please contact Vicki Capps at 480-226-3279.

Meet Joe!
Hello! My name is Joe and I am an AZBTR foster dog. I thought it might be helpful to let everyone know a little more about me since I’m awesome, but I’m still in rescue. Don’t get me wrong – my foster mom is cool – but I know my fur-ever family is out there looking for me and I can’t wait to meet them. In 2010, my BT family and I were rescued by AZBTR. There were seven of us and we were living in pretty bad conditions when we were rescued. My siblings all found new homes and my parents stayed with their foster families. I thought I found my family, but they didn’t have time for me and returned me to the rescue a few weeks ago. It hurt my feelings a little; my foster mom told me that it wasn’t my fault and now I’m ready to try again. I’m 12 years old, but I think my life began when I was rescued just over a year ago. All of my BT family is just like me – we get younger and friskier each day. I think this is because we lived in kennels before AZBTR saved us and we never played like other dogs. I do have a lot of energy for my physical age, but I’m not a puppy and I won’t chew your shoes. I’m also in great health!  I spend most of my time following my foster mom around the house so she doesn’t get lonely. When she’s busy in the kitchen, I use the doggy door go outside to sniff plants and to sunbathe. If my foster mom has to work from home, I sleep under her desk while she works. I also like to watch movies and cuddle on the sofa.
I sleep in my kennel each night and hang out in there during the day when my foster mom is at work. I wasn’t too wild about my kennel in the beginning, which is understandable, but I love my kennel now. My kennel is made of wire so I get fresh air, and it has warm cozy blankets and a few toys. It is a nice place to hang out while my foster mom reads at night. I understand that my age may be a deterrent for some people, but I know my fur-ever family won’t mind. They will be enchanted with my beautiful coat and warm brown eyes, and they’ll love my nubby tail. They will be amused by my wiggle jive dance and they will take me on walks when the weather is lovely. I know they’ll have room for me on the sofa during movie night. 
Most of all, my fur-ever family will be looking for a dog to love and care for, which is exactly what I need.
