My husband and I adopted Badger and Chipmunk. They are now known as Felix and Oscar. They took right over on day 1!!! We love them and we think they love their new home. They settled in quite well. I have attached a few pictures.

Thank you,

Hi, I thought you would enjoy seeing a photo of Horton's first Christmas- we just love him :-) and so does his sister Muffin.

Thanks again for allowing me to choose him.

It’s been almost three months since we were able to adopt our sweet little terrier, Maude, from you. She’s adjusted really well, and has been such a great addition to our “empty nest.” She’s even recently reconnected with another little lady, Bella, who had been in the shelter just before Maude left. They both live in the same neighbourhood now and like taking walks together. I’m sending a couple pictures of them.
It was also really coincidental that when I was walking Maude one day in December, a woman stopped us and asked if the dog was, indeed, “Maude.” The lady had actually gone to the shelter and had seriously considered adopting her, but had decided she couldn’t take on that responsibility right now. So, instead, Maude and I have been visiting her and will work up to having Maude stay there from time to time so they can keep each other company when I’m at work!
I thought I would also pass along a website that you might want to note for prospective dog owners – www.dogbreedinfo.com. It has all kinds of articles and even videos that would be invaluable. There’s an excellent article with photos & a video that trace the first day a rescue dog leaves the shelter to go to his new home, and it makes all kinds of important points that would help the dog feel comfortable and assist people in setting up the right conditions for a well-behaved dog. Really informative!!
So, thank you very much for the work you do and for helping bring a new member of our family to us! Sincerely,
Kevin and Mary-Anne

Hello!

I thought I would let you know that "Henry", the ferret I adopted on Friday is fitting in well with my two ferrets. However... Henry was not a Henry at all, but a Henrietta!! I've since renamed her Ursula, which means little bear, as her bum reminds me of a bear's bum. She also gets along with my dog, and seems to enjoy playing with the puppy. She is actually more affectionate than my other ferrets, and will happily sit on my lap and sleep there and cuddle. I'd like to thank you again for giving me a chance to bring her into my family, and offer her a loving home to live out the rest of her life.

Thanks again,
Janet

I wanted to thank you so much for my dog Daisy. We (my parents and I) adopted her in February, we knew that she had some anxiety issues, but slowly she has transformed into a nicer, friendlier, and far more special dog than I could have imagined. She bonded with our other dog, who became "her mother and teacher"; and recently, when our old dog (and my best friend) passed away, she really helped me. Although she can never replace her, she is now my other best friend. When we first got her she didn't seem to understand what was going on, and would run around howling. She wasn't house trained (or trained at all for that matter), and liked to tear up houseplants. She had been neglected and ate (and eats) like a pig. But despite this, it was without a doubt one of the best things we have ever done, and I would adopt her again in a second. Her personality just keeps coming, and she is without a doubt the biggest and cutest wimp I've ever met. From stalking ants to scaring herself when she wags her tail, she is entertainment in herself. She can now sit, lie down, roll over, shake a paw, heel, and stay. She walks well on a leash, and besides the occasional accident, is now fully house trained. She seems to actually be a couch potato at heart, and loves attention. Thank you so much for our dog and my bff!

Hi There:
I just wanted to send some pictures along of Karl and Joey. They are settling in wonderfully and they have become friends. Joey is completely infatuated with Karl. He searches around the house for him and when he finds him he licks him. Karl wasn't a fan of the attention at first, but now he cuddles up to Joey for a good nap. They are an adorable match :)
