    MollyI would just like to say thank you for this wonderful little dog. Molly has truly become my baby. Below is a picture of her and her cousin, Koda, in front of the fire place this past Christmas. Koda (Buck) was adopted from DOC, also, by my sister. We love them so much!!

  • Izzy B. (Formally MeeMaw)

    Hi Meagan and all DOCPAC Staff: It's me, MeeMaw aka Izzy B. I miss all of you but want you to know I love my new home and I am adjusting well. I get lots of love and attention and seem to always have a lap to lay in. My new home has a doggy door so I can go in and out to the backyard as I please, which I love. At night, I get to sleep in a nice big bed with my Mom. Thank you for all the love and care you gave me; My Mom tells me that she got the best dog ever. Mom says we will come visit you one day soon. Thanks for finding me such a terrific family.

  • Merlin

    Merlin was known as "Repo" when we first saw him on the DOCPAC site. When we went to look at him in person, we just beat another family to him. One look into his eyes and we knew he had to come home with us.

     Merlin is now a trained service dog for Ramoan. He reminds Ramoan when to take his medications and he will lay against Ramoan's back to relieve back pain. In addition, he is a well loved member of the family.

    This past Thanksgiving he vacationed with us at Walt Disney World. Merlin has made a world of difference in our lives and he is proof that rescue dogs can make wonderful service dogs.

  • Maci

    I want to thank all of you that work at Dorothy O Connor Pet Adoption.  Wow, what an amazing place you have, and your animals are so well takencare of.  I was very impressed with your love and kindness towards all your pets.

     I especially want to thank you for taking care of my little baby, Maci, she just caught my eye, she is just beautiful, and so sweet and cuddly too!!  I had been looking for a while for a baby, and when I saw her in person, there was NO question at all that she was the right one.  

    Of course she is very pampered, she has a special outfit for every occasion, and I made her a necklace with her name on it.  I do not know who gave her the name Maci, but it fits her perfectly, and I love it.

    Thank you again for your love of animals,                                               Bonnie Washington and Maci




  • Colby

    ColbyMy friend suggested I go to your website last spring and look at this little Beagle Colby. Next thing I knew he was in the car with me going back to New Braunfels. The best part about Colby is that he is such a help to me when I foster Beagles. He thinks the fosters are just for him. He is a great Beagle and has fit into our home nicely. Sometimes there is just too much energy as he is the second Beagle in the house and a foster makes three. Thanks for the work you do in Victoria.

  • Pudge

    PudgeWe adopted our Pudge from you on Oct.14,2009. We had to put our beloved Theo to sleep because he had cancer. Our daughters told us we needed to get another cat because we had lots of love to give and Theo wouldn't want us to be lonely. So we came upon "Elmo" as you called him but we changed his name to Pudge. He has filled our life with lots of love and happiness. He was and still is a very handsome cat. He's very spoiled and we wouldn't have it any other way. God bless you all.

She loves her 3 kitty friends, playin fetch, stealin socks, and hain some of our fruits and veggies. Training class 5 is coming up and I think her trainer Tracy wishes she could keep her. No way!! :) Seems no one can resist her cuteness, and you'll know when shes around because of all the awwwww's you hear..

  • Lester

    Lester

    I have two boys Tylar-9 and Tanner-5 who have always wanted a 'wiener dog'. Lester came to us very scared, and didn't really know what toys were. After a few days of constantly being by my side, and even sleeping in my bed and riding in the car with us, he has become a very playful and very loving friend. He has become attached to his loofah wiener dog toy, and takes it everywhere. My boys and I have found a forever friend, and love Lester very much! Wish there was an option to upload more than one picture! One just doesn't do justice. :)

  • Honey

    When we saw "Hazel's" picture, we knew we had to have her. We have named her Honey and she is a great addition to our family. She is so sweet and loving and loves to play with our other family member, a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix named Cree. She had heartworms, but DOCPAC provided the treatment and she is now heartworm free!

    Thanks again DOCPAC, we love her!

  • Mushu

    We adopted Chester in Dec. 2010 and have re named him mushu, because of the funny way he hunshes his back and hops around the house. He has turned into a 14 # ball of fun and cuddles, but beware when he plays he bites. He is a character and enterains himself and us daily. I am so glad he has been a perfect fit into our family.

  • Bailey aka "Glisten"

    We adopted Bailey a few weeks ago and could not be happier! She and our resident dog are just best of friends!! She's doing great on potty training and learning to walk on the leash. She has caught on quickly with how to use the doggy door to the backyard. She is so smart! She fits right in with us and we just love her energy!!

    We had such a great experience at DOCPAC, the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was definitely worth the drive to Victoria (from Katy) to get our little bundle of joy. Thanks to you guys for making this such a great experience :)

  • Allison "Biscuit" Chang

    After our cat went to be with Jesus, our wonderful dog Pickles needed a new playmate. Our family was also not complete with this loss so we started watching the dogs at Dorothy O'Conner. I was thrilled to see Allison, a sweet little black puppy online. My kids and I went to meet her and we just knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our family. My daughter renamed her biscuit and she is loved by all of us, including her new sister Pickles. She gives us lots of love and kisses and we are just so grateful to Dorothy O'Conner for helping bring her into our lives.
