Jerry and Natalie have been repeat “customers” of Last Hope. They originally adopted senior dog Baxter (who later lost his life to cancer) several years ago. When it was time to add to the family, they came back and adopted Otto, Dante, and Felix. They said they liked that we take such care in finding the right family to adopt.

Two of the dogs are chihuahua-dachshund mixes, Otto (formerly Cisco) and Dante (formerly Chico). The third, Felix (formerly Rocko), is some kind of mixed breed. They like to jokingly say he must be terrier/giraffe/mountain goat/dachshund/cattle dog with bat ears.

Natalie said the transition from Last Hope to their home was very easy and the dogs settled into their new home very quickly. They even learned enough to be calm until after Natalie and Jerry have had their morning coffee! Now they are inseparable which becomes a challenge only when they all join in to bark at a person walking down the street.

All three dogs love to play with toys and will engage in tug-of-war sometimes. They love to run around in the backyard and play-fight in the house.

Natalie says, “We love all our boys. They are all great cuddlers. They are happy and love to play. They’re loving and very sweet.”

All of them are now living the high life in California and we’re glad Natalie and Jerry have provided such a loving home for Otto, Dante, and Felix.
