    previous names?

    did your dog have another name when you brought them home? what were their names?

    Gracie was Wolfie when the breeder had her. the name just didn't fit her so we changed it.

    Beanie's name at the shelter was Rusty. we changed his name because the name Rusty didn't fit him.

    Ocean didn't have a name at the shelter. his "number" was #3764.

    Before we brought Tango home, she was being called "Flash"...it didn't fit her at all.

    Morgan & Winston have had their names for their entire life. Tia was always Tia, but my Dad wanted to name her Kiki..

    Kaedyn's name before we got him was Milo.. but according to the pet psychic, he had two other homes before that.. so who knows what it was before Milo. No wonder he never responded to Milo.

    Mini's original name was Angel. We have a cousin named Angel, so we changed it.

    Jack's was Biff, and I never really liked it.

    Before we settled on a name for Kyra she was little girl, Baby, Faith and then Kyra

    When we adopted both our pups we kept the names; when we first heard the name Bronx we thought it a little strange but not too long after and we realized it suited him well-not to mention it was quite different. With Bower we kept his name because the Humane Society had already named him this according to his previous owners last name-we figured he must have already had another name so to name him with yet a new name would possibly confuse him. The name has grown on us but believe me there are many times when he pretends it's not his name
