months ago. Unfortunately, her young owner died and she again became
available. Jazmin was adopted by Chris & Larry Cassenti of MA.

Czar is a gentle 10 year
old soul whose previous owner died unexpectedly. We despaired of
placing this elderly fellow when Barb & Jim Crosby of NH came to our rescue
(pun intended) and swept him off to their home for geriatric Afghans. |

Desireé is a lovely young lady
who just celebrated her second birthday. She was given up when her owner,
who is in the military, was transferred to a new base where he could not have
pets. After being fostered by George & Donna Tsoukatas, Desireé was
adopted by José Barnet of NJ. She is enjoying her new life with Afghan
brother Jack and Lady, another AHRNE alumna.

Colby is a youngster who
came to AHRNE via a Massachusetts shelter. He is a high energy chap
who loves to romp and play and sit in the kitchen sink. (Yes, really!)
Colby was adopted by Toby & Bill Hanlon as a companion to their Afghan,
Wilson, who was also adopted from AHRNE several years ago. Wilson was
lonely after the death of his elderly German Shepherd companion and needed a
new playmate. Colby should fit the bill admirably. |
| Zachary
is a lovely 10 year old who was given up because
his owner was working too many hours and was unable to give him the
attention he deserved. Zach was fostered by Kathy & Dan Beecher who quickly
learned was a sweet boy he was. Jill Ditton was looking for a quiet
Afghan as a companion for her two shy rescued Greyhounds. Kathy & Dan
introduced Jill to Zach and it was love at first sight. Zach fit right
in to Jill's household and every one is doing very well. |

Moses is a young black
masked red boy who was turned in to a Massachusetts shelter because of a
lack of time to care for him. After the shelter called us, he was
picked up and fostered by Amy and Colton Mero. He was quite shy
and under-socialized, but when he discovered that he was allowed to RUN in
the fenced yard, he was in doggy heaven. Joan & Thomas Swink of VT
were on our waiting list and when they learned of Moses, Thomas drove right
down to meet him. Moses and Thomas bonded immediately and Moses went
to his new home that night. |

Gabriel spent his life
tied out in the yard and neglected until the time he was turned over to
rescue. He is a sweet, gentle boy who is eager to please.
Happily, after a brief period in foster care, he was adopted by Deb Labb of
Pennsylvania and will be enjoying his new life with another Afghan friend,
Hudson. |

Sadie #1 is a
wonderful 10 year old black and tan girl who came back to AHRNE for the
second time after her adoptive family divorced. We were concerned
about the difficulty of placing an older dog, however, Lena Bruce of NJ, who
had recently lost her beloved Orrie, came to the rescue! Sadie's
age was not a concern to Lena and transportation from Sadie's foster home in
Boston (thanks to Amy & Colton Mero!) to Lena was quickly arranged. |
|
Sadie # 2 also came to
rescue as the result of a divorce and moved to NJ!. This gentle,
affectionate black girl was fostered by Robin Conway of VT and adopted by
George Krammer and his family. Sadie is able to go to work with George
and take lovely walks on the beach with his family. |

Gordie is a black-masked apricot
6 year old who was turned in to a MA shelter by his breeder. He is an
affectionate, well-socialized guy who was fostered by Barb Hays of MA.
Gordie was quickly adopted by Donna Moriarty of LI. |
|
Sting is another 6 year old, apricot guy
who was turned in to a NJ shelter for reasons unknown. He quickly won
the hearts of his foster parents, Kathy & Dan Beecher, who took him along on
a home visit to Cathy Button. Cathy also was won by his charm and it
wasn't long before he made the move to Cathy's house. |

Molly
helped us end the year on a high note. She and her roommate
Digger (see 2002 adoptions) were turned in by
their owner for the usual reasons (too busy, no time, divorce, etc, etc,
etc). After being fostered by Robin Conway, Molly was adopted by
Marion Nieman in November. |

Shiraz
(right) was a 4 year old run away who found himself locked in a shelter in
Delaware. After all efforts to locate his owner failed, he was
scheduled to be put down. Afghan Hound Rescue heard of his plight and
sprang him from his doom. He was cleaned-up, vet checked and delivered
to Kathy Pugh who fostered him for a short while until he found his
permanent home with Chris and Bob Corsette. Shiraz is now the
master of the house and has flourished in his new surroundings. |
