Buddy
Hello all at the Erin Humane Society! Just a quick update on Buddy and Thank You! As you can see this is Buddy chilling on his bed, though I’m positive he sneaks onto the furniture when our backs are turned J He has been a wonderful addition to our family and seems to love everyone he meets, with the exception of my cat Echo – they are still trying to decide who’s in charge.
He is a pleasure to go on long walks with and is a great jogging buddy which is getting me ready for summer bikini season. He loves games of ball, tug of war and Frisbee catching whether he\s invited into the game or not. The food aggression issue seems to not be present, so we are very excited about that. We did attempt to crate train him, but decided his name should be Houdini as it seemed nothing we could to would restrain him. So today was his first day having the roam of the house and he was a good boy!
Anyways, we would like to thank all at the Erin Humane Society with a special thanks to Karen for pointing Buddy out as a good fit for us. Good luck in your continuing hard work of re-homing wonderful pups like Buddy.

Aggie
Hi
We adopted Aggie two weeks ago today. So far she has destroyed our futon, put holes all over our leather furniture and she also steals crackers. Lucky she's so darned adorable! Truthfully, we knew she would have some adjustment issues and we're not overly concerned about her little transgressions. Our pet cockatiel is still alive, but she paid waaay too much attention to his existence at first. It did take only a couple of short spritz's of the water bottle to remind her that he was here first and is now her housemate. Aggie has settled in very well and our other cat Joey has easily accepted her presence (he did growl and hiss a bit at first). The first day or so, she hid in the basement off and on and actually was briefly stuck behind the freezer. If you saw her now you would think she was born here. Aggie has an adorable little squeaky meow that gets her whatever she wants and all three of us love her dearly. Attached are a couple of pictures of Joey and Aggie and it should be noted that they squeezed themselves onto a little blanket together when they could have stretched out on the rest of the bed. Yes, they both sleep on the bed with us at night.
I couldn't resist starting out the message with her little demolition streak but it has a happy ending which is what we all wanted.
Best regards to all,
Marilyn
Cinderella
Hello everyone!!
We just wanted to let you all know that Cinderella, now known as "Popcorn" has settled in perfectly! Our daughter Paisley was so excited to get the wee darling for her birthday and is completey smitten with her. Popcorn has made herself right at home and seems quite happy in her new family. I think she is the perfect little cat for us. She's quiet, yet playful, and very mild mannered. Our other cat Chloe is still adjusting but it is getting better bit by bit. The only question I have about our new family member is that she seems to be having some diarrhea. She is eating fine, drinking plenty, and using her litter box. I'm guessing this is just Popcorn's way of adjusting since otherwise she seems fine, but I thought I'd check...
Thank you again for all your help! You are wonderful people and those animals are lucky to be in such good hands.
Sincerely,
Debbie
Crystal
Hello to the fine folks at UCHS,
Just a short note to let you know that Crystal is doing just fine. We have modified her name to "Crissy" and she responds to either one.
Crissy is getting along marvelously with our 2 dogs Kanga (lab) and Alvin (rotti x hound), and would probably like to get to know our 2 cats a little better, but they are busy with outdoor activities these days, and only come around when it's dinner time. We do believe that the socialization skills learned when she lived in the "cat room" helped her transition into a multi-pet family quite nicely. Her favourite activities so far are: watching birds from the windows, playing with Kanga's tail, sleeping next to Alvin and generally playing with anything that she can get to move. She especially likes the mat at the back door which allows her to roll up in and then pounce at the dogs' legs.
We will send you another update as her personality develops even more !!!

Paisley
"Paisley" is doing fine. When I let her out of the crate on Tuesday, she wandered all over the house investigating everything. Right now she is fast asleep on my bed. She is eating well. I went to Home Sense and got her a nice new cat bed and pretty dishes. I am now a geriatric cat nurse. She is lovely, happy and looks liked she died and gone to heaven. She has a nice loud purr when I brush her. When she is awake, she follows me all over the house like a dog. I made the right decision to provide a nice peaceful home for her.
Thanks for your help. Lynda

Phil
Hi Karen and staff...
I just though I would update you on how Phil is doing.
He iis already getting spoiled and is the king of the house for sure. He has our dog petrified of him, he stoood up on his hind legs and boxed the dog into submission on their first meeting and now the dog gives him a wide bearth. He gets to sleep in dad's bed and watches intently out any window he can jump into. He rides great in the van and seems to enjoy going out to our trailer for weekends.
He is a perfect match with our family and I think we certainly picked the right guy. He has his own personality and is very determined that when he wants petted you will do it no matter what time of day or night it is.
Thanks for all of your help in Phil's adoption.

O'Malley (formerly Warren)
Hi - just wanted to let you know that O'Malley, formerly Warren, (adopted this May) is doing well. He is curiosity on wheels, and is a busy, busy boy. When I first brought him home, I expected that he would want to hide for a while, as cats I've adopted in the past have done. Not O'Malley - he lept out of his carrier as soon as I opened the door, ran around the room with unbridled excitement, and a minute later, wanted out of his 'quiet room'. He was taken aback at first by my equally boisterous German Shepherd, Gracie, but soon recovered his poise, and swaggered past her. Nothing stops O'Malley from going where he wants to go, and doing what he wants to do. He's had a very busy summer, racing from window to window, upstairs and downstairs, watching the birds and squirrels! Thanks to the staff and volunteers at UCHS for taking so much time with me, in choosing a cat with just the right kind of temperment to fit in; you couldn't have done better. Many cats wouldn't have the confidence and aplomb to take on living with Gracie - but O'Malley takes her all in stride, and happily goes about his busy day. He is also one of the most affectionate cats I've had, and welcomes everyone with purrs and demands for tummy rubs.
Thank you again for for all you do.

Mister Pants (now Draven)
Hello All,
I just had to send you this to let you know that the cat I adopted a couple of weeks ago, Mister Pants (now Draven), has settled in so well, you’d never know he didn’t live with me all his life. He’s an absolutely wonderful and affectionate cat!!! He quickly adjusted to his new kitty house mate, my senior cat Kara, and my dog, who’s done nothing more than sniff him a few of times. I am so glad that I dropped in that day and that he picked me lol. Thank you all for the time you spent during the adoption process so that I was able to take him home right away.
Kind regards,
Sue

Cupcake
Hi there,
Thank you so much for caring for her and allowing us to take her into our family. She is eating well and has not had any accidents in the house. A little shy still, but to be expected. We are taking it really slow. She seems quite comfortable with us and stays close by.
Have a great weekend.
Judy
We just wanted to let you know Willa, we have renamed her, is doing terrific. She has exceeded our expectations. She loves that we have girl's that run with her and curl up with her. She loves our big back yard walking around getting used to the different smells and sounds. She loved the farm, enjoying her long walk around the property yesterday. My in-laws loved her too and she played with their dog Ruby. Our 11 yr old Mandy is still adjusting to this little friend we brought home but is letting her get closer and closer. There will be lots of pack walks:) That will help.

Barn kittens - Thanks!
Earlier this year my barn was "adopted" by a very sweet friendly cat. Before I had a chance to spay her she produced 6 beautiful, healthy kittens. These kittens were kept in the barn office so they were well socialized, litter trained etc. and had the best chance of becoming loving family pets but I needed help finding them good homes. By chance we were in Pet Value buying food for our house cats and talked to the young man working there. He gave me Barb( the kitten lady's) phone number. One call to Barb and the next day Barb brought Frances, the foster lady to meet and check the kittens and give Mama her shots.
A few weeks after the kittens were fostered and Sylvie spayed ( I adopted her). I was asked if my barn could accommodate a neutered male cat that had not done well as an indoor cat so Stanley came to live in the barn. He was not happy indoors and needed his space so I agreed to take him on trial. He's with me to stay now.
At first Sylvie tormented poor Stanley but now they are best friends. There is still some competitions for lap time but the two are seldom seen apart. When I go to do chores, I am met by two black sentries who escort me around and make sure I'm doing things right. When pickers came to the farm these cats took the opportunity to get extra cuddles.
Now barn life may not be a perfect life but these cats love it. The barn is 200 ft long, they have their own room, a cat door so they are safe from predators, soft wooly sheep they can curl up on. a heated crate, parasite control etc. Everything a cat could want. They spend most of their time patrolling the barn, checking the lambs and inspecting the chickens. These two are the welcome committee for any visitors and get lots of cuddles and lap time. They also get to be hunters. They accept our working Border Collies but stay away well away from other dogs and have even learned to stay in the fenced area unless out with me. It is not unusual for them to escort me and the sheep to pasture and sit with me while the sheep graze. What a life!!!!
The best rodent control in any barn is a neutered cat. Kittens can spread disease but seldom do fixed adults. They are loving, loved and cherished, at least these two are.
Many thanks to the wonderful staff and volunteer network at the UCHS. They recognized the needs of these cats and have made the best arrangements for them and I am the lucky recipient of their knowledge. Many thanks. Lene Band

Seth
Hi Andria and the rest of the staff.
Seth is doing great! He is fitting in well and everyday just gets better as he bonds with Roxie and the rest of us.
He does well at the dog park playing with all the other dogs. He gets along with my friends two dogs where they run free in a large field.
Roxie play fights with him and they are getting along very well. In the large field Seth is now reached some unbelieveable speed where as of today he keeps up with Roxie. His Stamina is not the same however improving. In the next week I will not be surprised he is faster than her. Not too many dogs are faster than her. You really could not see how fast Seth was until u took him to a large open field.
They are both walked together in the morning by my kids, my wife works in town and comes home for lunch. She is off one day a week and starts at noon one day a week also. In the evening im at the dog park or large fields with them. Im home by 3PM.
There lots of fun and comical. Seth sleeps on her large pillow and Roxies sleeps in his small oval bed with her head hanging off and her feet.
Things will continue to get better as with Roxie it seemed that 1 to 2 month period they really realize there here to stay.

Peaches

Hello again,
Just sending some more feedback about Peaches - Mili.
They have been friends with my younger bunny Lewie for about 3 weeks now. It's heartwarming seeing them playing or just hanging together. They both seem very happy and comfortable. It's like my dream came thru.
She is our sweetheart :)
Thank you again,
Sincerely,

Hi Karen,
Im just touching base with couple news about Peaches who's name is Mili now (hope she doesn't mind).
First day was quiet, she didn't eat much, just watching and listening. Things changed since then, to our delight. She is running, jumping enjoying her freedom.
Started to eat grass and more hay as well as other greens. Mili is getting accustom to going out on the patio and back to the living room, exploring everything carefully. She has such a sweet and calm predisposition. Mili doesn't give away kissess yet, nor she made any friends with the guys, but I'm trilled with her. Everybody is trying to make her happy and comfortable, except my other bunnies who are jelous. When time comes we'll work on bonding her with our younger bunny Lewie (the opal in colour). I'm sending couple of pictures.
Thank you,
Cheers,
Hali
Mimosa (now named Minnie)
We just wanted to send an email to let you know that Mimosa (now named Minnie) has adjusted extremely well to her new home. We brought her home and followed the instructions to place her in a room and were prepared to have her hide 
for the first little while. Forget that! She came out of her carrier ready to cuddle and play and desperately wanted to explore the entire house. Within 2 hours of arrival she was running around having a great time in her new home. We have bought her a cat tree and she just loves to nap in it as you can see from the picture. Minnie has been a perfect addition to our family and we all just love her so much already.

Thank you all for taking care of me until my forever parents found me!
Lots of love and slobbers

Hello everyone @ the Upper Credit Humane Society...
I just wanted to send you an update on Jesse (formerly your "Aspen"). Jesse has made my world a whole lot brighter and happier since he came to his new home & family!
We can't believe our luck at finding this wonderful, sweet boy!! He's just as you described him - a true people loving dog and a gentle soul. He's met everyone in the family and all our extended family, plus many of the people at work and around the town we live in.
He's settled in to life in the house and enjoys all the toys, especially tennis balls & squeaky toys, including his rubber chicken. He was a little unsure of his big comfy bed at first, but he has become quite used to it now and was spotted sleeping on his back with all four legs splayed -- now that's relaxed!!!
After the recent loss of one of the best dogs I ever raised, I was SO SAD but it was surely fate that I found this sweet soul because he has brought a smiles and lots of joy bac
k into my life.
Thank you to everyone at the UCHS, especially Andrea, for all your great care and compassion to finding the right home for all your animals--Words cannot express how thankful I am to you for allowing me the privilege of having Jesse in my life. I will take the very best care of him and love him for the rest of his life.

Lorelei
Lorelei is fitting into our family extremely well. It is hard to believe she wasn't adopted sooner! It is obvious she has some issues with certain objects which seem to have some negative imprint on her psyche. These issues will be overcome through patient work and lots of love. We are already seeing signs of this happening! We have left her alone in the house a few times for short periods without incident.
From day one, when I open the front door, Lorelei waits for me to say, ok, to go outside and she walks at my side keeping stride with me when we go for walks around the property. Five laps of the front yard is one kilometer and she stays right by my side. Lorelei has slowly become more comfortable and relaxed each day inside our home as well as outside. Lorelei is very well trained. She went to chase a rabbit in the backyard and stopped and came to me when I called her off. Lorelei will lick our hand or face when she wants to go outside to urinate, etc. She is learning our routines and is happiest when we are all at home with her as a family.
We thank all of you folks at Upper Credit Humane Society for taking good care of Lorelei during her stay at your facility. The good folks you all have working and volunteering have done a great job with Lorelei which has made her transition into our home that much easier.
Best Regards…
Robert

Serenity's Happy Ending
 Well I finally got her home and she was AMAZING in the car. She sat in the back seat and did not try to crawl into the front. She did not whine, whimper or bark the whole way. When I got her home I brought her up to the apartment and it took her about 10 minutes to climb our 25-30 open stairs but once she got to the top she looked happy. The first time she walked in the door she was a little timid but then quickly got used to the apartment. I took her for a walk up the street till the sidewalk ended then back, she was startled by a horse and buggy but made it ok. She eliminated a couple of minutes later, it was loose and slightly gooey (I attributed that to the days stress). When we got back to the apartment she walked around up and down the hall but always came back to me. She went to chew on my seaweed basket then the coffee table so I gave her a slice of bone and marrow (from the butcher shop and did she ever enjoy that!!). I took her out every hour and she went pee two of those times. She was quite shy with Michael at first and sulked for the hour I was away at the grocery store. She follows me on my heels. She would not eat her dinner unless I was right there but she will go and have a drink on her own. Around 9 we |
Max's Happy Ending
Hi Everyone,
We just wanted to send you an update on Max :) Our apologies, the most recent photo we have on our camera is this one, the rest are on our cell phones. We promise to take more on our camera and we'll send them along.
He is doing very well!! When he was at the vet in October/09, h
e weighed 17.5 lbs. His leg is healing great!
He wasn't into toys when we first brought him home, but within a month he became attached to a stuffed monkey and duck, which he now chases and shakes around when he's excited. He has claimed one of our chairs in the living room, so when we don't have company over we lay a padding and blanket down for him, and then he buries himself underneath it.
He loves his walks around the park and gets along well with everyone. Still not friendly with children so we of course avoid any contact. Max has a bestfriend names Gizmo, who is Gary's parents' chihuahua. He loves to get Gizmo chasing after him, it's so cute!
He still of course wins the hearts of everyones he meets, whether it's company or the people at the vet and we absolutely love him to bits!!! We are so thankful to have him! We will send more pics soon :)
Take care and thank you for everything!!!
Sincerely,
Jen, Gary & Max
Monty's Happy Ending
To all staff at the Upper Credit Humane Society,
We wanted to update you on Monty (a.k.a. Casper). We were so lucky to adopt Monty in February. He settled in immediately and has become a very loved member of our family. The girls just adore him and find it hard to be away from him for any time. He is extremely intelligent and affectionate and has definitely inherited the best of both breeds (greyhound and lab), he learns quickly and is so eager to please. He loves his walks and chasing the ball..and sometimes he even brings it back! He is addicted to sticks and anything that resembles a stick!
We thank all the staff at the UCHS and especially Monty’s foster mom who must have given him so much love and stability in his early days. Our lives have been enriched with this loveable guy and we can’t imagine life without him. Here are a few pictures of the first few days and more recently from Easter weekend with Grandma’s rake!
With kind regards,
Lisa, Graham, Emily, Maggie & Monty Hush

Tony's Happy Ending
It has only been a short while, but we wanted to let you know how well Tony (7 month old brown tabby cat) is fitting into our family. When we first brought Tony home our 5 year old cat Fletcher, who has been the only pet for the past 3 years, didn't take very kindly to sharing his space. He did some occasional hissing at Tony and followed him around making sure he didn't do something he wasn't supposed to, but Tony didn't seem to notice as he was too busy exploring his new home. Day by day Fletcher realized that Tony was here to stay and accepted that fact, and now they are best buddies. They play, curl up together on the sofa, and even groom each other on occasion.
Even though he has his own toys, Tony has laid claim to a whistle attached to a cord that belongs to our daughter and drags it around the house. He loves it when one of us pulls it around the house so he can chase it, and much to our amazement, he can be in another room and when our daughter blows that whistle Tony comes running!!!
Tony has been a welcome addition to our family and is settling in very nicely.
We have attached a photo of Tony and Fletcher catching some ZZZs in the warm sun.
Sincerely,
Rob & Cathy and family
Mickey's Happy Ending
We just wanted to give you an update on Mickey. He is enjoying his new family "The Sl
oans". He has his first vet appointment with us on April 9. He enjoys the children and sleeping on our beds. We will drop by when we are on our way up to Collingwood in the future.

Candy's Happy Ending
The first couple of days, Amos, our 14 year old grey tabby would go up to her and smell her and she would hiss at him and smack him on the head, but yesterday and today they've been sitting together and looking out the window together. Amos even let Candy play with his tail one day. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night to find them both sleeping with my husband and I on our bed. And this morning Candy woke us up by only licking our chins and ears
which is better than when Amos was her age as he would lick my ey
elidsand bite my hair to wake me up.
A few moments ago I found both of them sitting on my kitchen counter watching the birds at the bird feeder. Amos hasn't jumped on our kitchen counter for years, but I am sure he thought, "hey, Candy is doing it, so why not?" haha
We are so happy that both cats are getting along and that Candy seems really happy here. Her kitten energy has even exceeded the kids' energy. :-)
Thanks for all your assistance in helping us adopt Candy.

Bailey's (formerly "Rye") Happy Ending
We just love this dog and cannot comprehend how anyone could have abandoned her in -10 degrees temperature.

Hank's Happy Ending
Hi there. Just thought I'd drop you a line about Hank. The car ride home was uneventful - just lots of kisses! Sam & Alex were in the back seat with Hank and Magnum rode up front with me. Our old dog was extremely unimpressed with us and a little insecure. Fast forward to our arrival home... the difference in both dogs here was at the same time amazing & expected. Magnum was now on his home turf, thus not as submissive, and Hank was, for the most part a goofy gentleman. Magnum had to assert himself a couple times but only with a slight growl. We played with Hank for about 3 hours - trying to wear him out & getting Magnum to show him the ropes of dog etiquette. They slept in the shop together without incident. This morning acouple of Sam's farming friends were around and Hank was nothing but his big, klutzy, loving self. Alex's has got him out for a walk and to play as I write this - all is well! You won't be getting him back! And I say that with the utmost respect! Thanks again for everything. Feel free to come and visit Hank. Patty
Sebring's Happy Ending
Hi there.
It has been 7 months since I adopted Sebring. When I spoke to Barb about adopting, and that my prospective friend would be traveling with me all over North America, Barb was optimistic. I have to say that Sebring has turned out to fantastic, and I think she truly loves her little home with me when we're out on the road. She gets along great with her new friends Yao and Libby, my sisters two Devon Rex cats. I read about Tonka and being rolled over on. I think Tonka and Sebring are siblings if I'm not mistaken. They must be because Sebring does the same thing! She makes it very apparent when its food time, twice a day and she won't let me forget. She loves wiffle balls, and tin foil balls, chasing them all over the truck. Sebring garners a lot of attention from passers by, as she sleeps in the sun on the dash board when we're stopped. And is my morning alarm clock, no snooze button on her that's for sure!
So again I thank Barb and everything you guys do for the animals in your care. I have passed my experience along to many different people along the roads I travel when asked. I knew it was a good idea when I had it. And Sebring has confirmed it as well.
Thanks Ross

Winnie's Happy Ending
Hi Everyone, 
Sorry, it's taken so long to write you and let you know how "Winter" now named "Winnie" is doing. We absolutely love her to pieces and really can't believe she came into the shelter as a stray. She has an amazing temperament, and is a very sweet natured cat. She's not really a lap cat, but always wants to be close by. Our Yorkie has taken to her and they are now friends, although our resident cat still doesn't "love" her just yet, but is slowly coming to the realization that she now has a roommate.
Thank you for allowing her to come home with me, we'd be lost without her. And, thank you for giving "Winnie" a 2nd chance to find her forever home. Keep up the good work!
Kind Regards,
Karen
Peanut's Happy Ending
Hello,
My boyfriend and I adopted Peanut back in August. She is loving her new home, with her sister Molley (pug) and brother Jinx (bangle/ragdoll mix). They love to chase each other around the house and get into trouble. She loves to be cuddled and purr's up a storm.
Her 'mommy' and 'daddy' love her to pieces and are very happy they chose her to join their family.

Kara's Happy Ending
Hello everyone. we adopted Kara from the shelter in June and we just wanted to say how happy we are that she was able to come home with us. Kara has been doing very well, and is a stickler for routine, every morning at 630, we are awake and breakfast is served and we walk. Kara is an amazing listener (when she wants to) and loves going out for walks and to get the mail. Kara loves the dog park and really gives the other dogs a good running around.
We were told huskies were not really cuddly and dependent on attention, but she loves cuddleing and follows Dave pretty much everywhere. she has also discovered that if she
sits on the middles steps of the staircase she can look out the window and give whoever is leaving our house sad puppy eyes.
sits on the middles steps of the staircase she can look out the window and give whoever is leaving our house sad puppy eyes.Kara was having some nesting problems when she first left the centre, she didnt want to come out of her kennel for about 2 whole days when she came home, except for bathroom breaks. but after about a week, she began to feel more comfortable with us and started coming out with her squeaky toy in mouth. She has almost completely stopped using her squeaky toy that she permenently borrowed from the humane society, and now enjoys going to the dog store and finding new toys to destroy.
