Happy Beginnings

Nathan wrote,  After a few weeks of settling in, Hazy has opened up as a very confident, playful, and affectionate cat! She is sweet and vocal (though soft-spoken), and she spends almost all of her time sleeping or playing nearby me when I'm home. She loves lounging in her bed, jumping in boxes, and casing her foam ball toys. Most of all, I can tell she loves me, and I'm thrilled to return that affection with lots of petting and playing.

He's super playful and is adjusting really well to his new home. We're so thrilled to welcome Bruce and to have him a part of our life. And he has the cutest underbite ever!

Alexa wrote, Ellie has been such a joy since we adopted her in October. She always makes us laugh no matter what she's doing. Ellie loves to be right next to us, or even right on top of us! She's a big lap dog. Ellie also likes to "hold hands", she's very sweet, and is learning new things very quickly. Some of Ellie's favorite things are playing with her brother Thunder, her stuffed toy Miss Piggy, her kong, and going to the Dog Park. Ellie is so sweet and adopting her was one of the best things I have ever done. She makes me so happy, and she makes me smile every time I see her smiling face and wagging tail. We love her so much!

Roger wrote, We picked up our new family member on Saturdayy the 15th and brought her home to meet our two other dogs Callie Dixie. We new our 3 year old German Shepherd would love having a full of energy 9 month old cattle dog to play with. We were right. The two of them hit it off immediately and have been running and playing in our 1 1/4 acre yard ever since. Of course when they wear themselves out they let themselves in the dog door and crash on the couch, dog bed, floor or wherever they find it most comfortable. Our eleven year old dog likes our new girl also but leaves the running and playing to the youngsters. I've included a couple of pictures with Shelby and her new best friend Callie. We all love our new family member and look forward to lots of great times together.

One good day I walked in to volunteer walking the dogs, and I saw the cutest Jack Russell Terrier mix ever!! I fell in love immediately and we decided to bring him home. He is the best gift from God, he makes us the happiest people. We only regret not have done it before. Adopting a pet is saving a life, and that's priceless.
