Tango

1998 - July 10, 2011

Tango has been slowing down a bit as old dog's will do, but last night we felt something was wrong.  Tango had a great day but by dinner he would not eat and was really slow on our walk to go see the cows in the field.  By bedtime he was exhausted.  We took him in to the emergency clinic, hopeful that it was something simple that could be treated but it was not meant to be.  Tango as it turns out had a very aggressive cancer on either his liver or spleen that would be a mass of new blood vessels that were taking his blood and leaving it in his abdomen.  He was running out of oxygen and did not have much time left.  His passing was peaceful and we were thankful to have had time to say goodbye.

We knew the minute we met Tango at the Humane Society in 2007 that he was a special soul and he captured our hearts each and every day since.  We of course had to teach him how to jump on the bed and ask for treats but he turned out to be a quick study.  Tango was lucky enough to have two sisters, Shelby who he gets to be with again and Lexus who already misses him.

We could not have asked for a more sweet, loving, gentle but also funny and energetic friend.  Dinnertime is already not the same without his crazy howling and dancing. We are really glad he found us. He will really be missed!

Love Markus, Julie & Lexus 

Remy

Hello Jody and Erin Humane Society,

Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to adopt “ Remy”

Just thought we would let you know how Remy is doing!!!

Great! He slept right the the first night we brought him home and seems to like his bed, when he is worn out from touring the farm he just goes into his room( the olde dining room) and goes to his bed.

Most of the time he just sleeps across my feet in the front room. Since we had 4 adopted greyhounds in the past he has a wide assortment of doggie beds so we strategically placed them in various rooms where I spend time.

He is adjusting well and everyone he meets really likes him. He is my constant companion around the farm and everywhere in the house.  He has already grown a bit about 5 more pounds.

Went and got his heartworm and Advantage on Friday where he did excellent at the clinic. The vet techs and the Vet really liked him.

We have already started obedience training which he is doing very well at.

I am attaching a few pictures hopefully they get thru.

You just click on the pictures and they enlarge.

Thanks again

Hi Jodi,

Attached are some pics of Domingo, taken today on a walk in Oakville. He is doing really well. He is a very gentle boy and is adapting well to his new home. He wants to thank you and all the volunteers for everything you did for him!

Thank you!

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
