Hunter

This is about Hunter, a dog who went home and returned 3 times before finding these amazing people.....



Sorry we couldn't make it to the event in Georgetown? raking leaves a priority but the up-date on Hunter/Norman is only good news: I think I told you he had five teeth removed by Dr. John, plus a groomer from Caledon East came in and gave Norman a baldo shave while he was under sedation.
All in all for a month we couldn't be more pleased with him. We think he is pretty smart, his behaviour has greatly improved - the occasional set back but really nothing to speak of considering he is learning the rules but the best news is that I was painting some baseboards the other day and he was having none of it - kept leaning up against the wall and trying to take the paint brush out of my hand - mouthing my hand gentler than any dog I have ever had?????

We have had him off of the lead several times, he loves our cats and will not be left outside on a lead without one of us in his line of vision. He travels well in the car and has even gone visiting. He walks on the side roads and sits (mostly) when asked to. All in all we are grateful to have him, (if he barks at people and nips of the occasion that seems! to be no more than most dogs in this village do). We are very pleased and grateful that you saw such positive traits in him that eventually he was able to make his way to us.

Jace

 

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you all know how "Jace" is doing- It took almost a year before we earned his trust, it was like he was a guest in our home, but literally overnight he changed.

He blossomed into a sweet, loving, funny companion who makes a lasting impression in everyone he meets. To Jace, everything is fun, each day is to be savored to the max. He is like a puppy in a big dog suit.

Thank You for introducing us to Jace

KIndest Regards,

Doug and Kathy

It has been a few months since Maui came to live her forever home. She has settled in and is becoming affectionate towards her human and furry friends.

The Vet is very happy with her weight loss and she is within 5 lbs of her ideal weight. Maui enjoys her daily walks, rides in the truck and playing with her two friends pictured below (that's Maui on the right).

Thanks

Heather

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Owen and I went to the kitten adoption at the Pet Valu on Saturday and brought Buckley home to be a part of our family.

We have appreciated all the help from the staff at uchs in helping us find a good match for our home. This has been a great experience for us, Buckley had a great first night and we are all bonding nicely.

Hi everyone,


Just a little note to update you on beautiful Max, whom we adopted just yesterday. We’ve heard him bark, three times (never on our walks) – our two other dogs were leading the pack on the barking, not Max. He seems to be settling in well... though not eating a whole lot. He is as sweet as you all said he was. He never barks when we walk in the house and is incredibly well mannered. He seems to be fitting well with our two small dogs, Bernie the Jack and Charlie the Chug. No aggression whatsoever to date. But we know it’s still the honeymoon phase, so as we’ve been advised by Andrea we will keep them apart during the day for a few weeks, as they adjust to each other’s little quirks.
Ashley: though I wasn’t crazy about waiting a week to bring Max home, your good advice gave us the opportunity to assess the decision we had made and really prepare for his arrival. Plus the anticipation made the week very exciting.
We’ll keep you up to date, and as promised we will bring him back for a visit. Thanks for all the great advice. You all show your love and affection for the animals you save. Thank you!
Regards,

The Woolworths.
