First Friends Animal Rescue

Meet Franny and her new mom! Her past owners did not think enough of her to take her along with them when they left and went their separate ways. The sad part was she was left in a trailer without care and in the dark for days. My organization stepped in, made the necessary arrangements for transport (who were instrumental in her being saved) and arrived in Milwaukee, WI two weeks later. The happy ending to her story is, however, she is fostered by one of my volunteers Cecilia, and she has become FFARI’s official mascot.

FRANNY

First Friends Animal Rescue, Inc.

STRAIGHT TO THE HEART! There is no other way to tell this TAIL! This special family in Brookfield lost their precious JRT, “Nicci” a few months back. They contacted FFARI to start the search for another JRT. FFARI had no female JRTs at the time, only BOYS! However, 2 years ago, a little female JRT was surrendered to the President of FFARI who kept her as one of her very own companions. When FFARI’s President talked to this family she knew that the lady in the family was “THE ONE” this little JRT should be with. FFARI told them about this JRT and the family came to the Great Lakes Pet Expo to see her, however, another JRT “Sparky” was there in the morning at the booth instead. Well, they liked Sparky. They returned that same afternoon and FFARI had the other female JRT, “Bella Lee” there just by luck. The family met her as well and liked her too. So, they talked it over and decided to take THEM BOTH. There will never be an adoption as close to the HEART as this one!

SPARKY & BELLA LEE

HEDYAT AND

SPARKY

A father and his son came from Oshkosh and Madison, Wisconsin to meet one of my Jack Russell Terriers. But, when they met Sparky they knew he was the one. Sparky can run, play, dance and make a great workout partner and life-long friend and companion. Sparky also knew that Hedyat was going to be his new family companion. You see, they came to see him and then would decide but when they left Sparky could not take his eyes off of their vehicle and when they returned the following week Sparky was claimed as one of their family. How lucky can one dog get by having two homes; a home in Madison and in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Best Wishes Hedyat and Sparky!

DARGO AND HIS NEW FAMILY

Boy, what a lucky Dargo to have such a wonderful family come and get him. He can dance, run like the wind, and yes, sing. He’s a little guy with the biggest of hearts. It was a sunny day when they came to see him and he was the happiest of boys. To have a mom and dad and yet three children to play with is the coolest thing ever and a Grandma as well (see in front seat of van). The smiles in this picture says it all! And if you look closely, so is Dargo!

NICOLE AND PHANTOM

What a pair. She is a long distance runner and he is a power runner. He searched for a long while for the right person and found her. He has made a new friend with her best friend’s dog, Teddy. He shares his new home with two felines whom he is trying to get to know. I would not be a bit surprised to see Phantom and Nicole in a half marathon or whole marathon very soon. Phantom will always hold a part of FFARI’S HEART. We hope to hear of their adventures as the grow together.

LIZ, ERIC & ACE

Ace has found a family and as a very added surprise, Riley, a very special female Jack Russell Terrier. Riley is a miniature of Ace in that they compliment each other by being really close in color and the fact that they are both broken coats. Riley played hard to get but Ace won her over with his big heart. He also has 4 children to play with and be loved by. His new owners are great and are very active. We understand that he got a haircut and looks very handsome. Good luck to Ace and his new family. We hope to hear from them often.

BEN, MELISA & JACK

The smiles in this picture say it all. Jack looks a little tired but he just had surgery a few days ago and has a reason to be a little tired but I have every faith that he will regain all of his power very soon. He is a long legged Jack that can bounce with the best if them. He has the biggest heart I have seen thus far and is a very giving companion. We look forward to hearing about his stories in the future and wish his new owners and him the best. He already jumped up to Melisa and gave her his smooch of approval. Jack is very lucky to have such wonderful family and they are very lucky to have Jack. In no time he will be at turbo mode with the squirrels.

A perfect match has been made. Miss Ellie knew he was the one. She is living in Slinger, WI with a very wonderful man who will take care of her for the rest of her life. He is very lucky also in that she is truly a very affectionate and caring little dog who knows no boundaries with her heart. FFARI is very happy to know both of these exceptional beings. This picture is worth a 1000 words, look at how happy they are. Good luck to both of you and don’t be strangers now, you hear.

CORY & ELLIE

RINGO & JEFF

RINGO KEEP ON TRUCKN’

This picture says it all “happy”. Ringo was very particular who he liked; and at first sight of Jeff took airborn to him immediately. All he had to say was “up Ringo” and up he went. Ringo met over 62 different people and would not go with any of them. A dog knows who he wants to be with. Ringo will have two homes, since Jeff is a truck driver he will be “on the road” with Jeff and then home in South Dakota for weekends and with Jeff’s son. Jeff is a former Jack Russell Terrier owner and knows about the energy level and character that these dogs possess. I correspond with Jeff regularly and wish both of them the best of luck. And Ringo and Jeff, if you are ever in Wisconsin, please stop by!

ZONA & ROCKET

Rocket has a wonderful home up in “God’s Country” La Crosse, Wisconsin. She lives with Zona and Eric and could not have picked a better family. She is a female Jack Russell who for a short time had a hard life and now she is finally able to be happy and run and frolic and be carefree. When I met Zona and Eric I knew they would be great parents for her. They have what it takes to be great pet owners and have very large hearts. We wish them all the best of luck and hope that they will join us sometime for a parade or two or just to stop by and say “hi”.

Amber, Stella and

Adeline

with

Daisy and

Jack (a/k/a Leary)

Jack has it made, new family, built-in girlfriend, two great kids, husband and wife who love animals. What more could a dog hope for with a “forever” family. Jack had a rough start in his life and now he has a great family who loves him and will give him the life that he truly deserves. He was the sweetest dog ever to come to First Friends Animal Rescue Inc. and we will always remember him as the boy with the true heart. Good luck to you Jack and your new

Family! And please remember to always let us know how you are all doing.

Mac is a very happy and lucky dog. His new home is in Verona, Wisconsin. He even has a new best friend, Champ, the Corgi. Believe it or not, Champ and Mac are the very same age. Unbelievable! He has a wonderful young couple who love animals and to share his life with. Joe is even a jogger so the chance is Mac will soon be becoming a runner. We at FFARI are very pleased and proud to know this fine couple. This picture says it all, look at the smiles on everyone, well maybe Champ is holding his inside. We hope to hear from Joe and Susan as often as possible. Best wishes to everyone!

Susan & Joe

Champ & Mac

Nancy

Jackie

Champ & Mac

Jackie is making her new home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and is a very lucky dog because she found Nancy. Nancy is a very kind and caring person who loves animals. Jackie could tell immediately that she liked her. It was a perfect match right from the start. Jackie will be living with Nancy and Brian and is one very happy dog. We are glad to have met Nancy and look forward to meeting Brian when we make our home visit. Jackie is the smallest female JRT we have had thus far at FFARI. But she have a very big heart and that is what makes up a great family! Good luck to Nancy and Jackie, and we look forward to seeing you both at our upcoming events!!!!!

Mary
&
Biscuit

Champ & Mac

Biscuit has a new home in Elgin, Illinois with his new mom, Mary. She has a special gift working with people who are less fortunate then we are. Biscuit will have a really good home with Mary because she is a caring individual who loves dogs. She has prior Jack Russell Terrier experience which is a plus. I am very happy that Biscuit found Mary. We look forward to seeing more of both of them in the very near future and wish them well and the best of luck together. Also, when Biscuit met Mary he actually got up for the very first time and started to dance on his hind legs, it was unbelievable to see.

Sara Lee
&
Kenzie

Champ & Mac

Sara Lee has her new home in Menominee, Michigan. She lives with Christy and her daughter Kenzie (who is pictured at the left here with Sara Lee). Sara Lee could not be happier she has found her “forever family”. She is a very gentle soul and is perfect for young Kenzie because of her gentleness. She enjoys her long walks and cat naps on the couch as well as sleeping next to Christy in the evenings. We wish Christy, Kenzie and Sara Lee many, many happy years together. Sara Lee will always be remembered as the one with the “gentle soul” and “kind spirit”.
