TEXAS HAS FOUND A HOME

Texas had received huge exposure in the newspapers, one in particular had featured him four times and still not a single call! Thinking about it, it was plain to see that he needed even more exposure. I contacted German Shepherd Rescue of Toronto and explained the situation and perhaps they could assist in finding our Tex a home as well. His picture was posted on their website, with reference to Upper Credit if you wanted to know more about him. Well…….

I will never forget the day, Groundhog Day, February 2, 2009. A lady had seen his picture on the Shepherd Rescue site and decided she should come and see our Tex. As fate would have it, we were out in the parking lot with Texas when she drove in. She knew right away that it was HIM. I had never seen Texas give ANYONE kisses. This woman got down to his level and asked him if he gave kisses and boy, did she get some nice kisses. She thought he was “absolutely gorgeous”. I think we all knew right then and there that this was a match made in heaven. This lady was a life long shepherd owner, and had recently lost her dog of 9 years and was looking for a new companion.

Sarabeth Silver-Paws' Happy Ending (Braunwyn)

We adopted Braunwyn in February 2009. She had been at the shelter for over a year. We felt with her lovely personality she would fit in well in our home with our elder cats and we were right. Unfortunately our two eldest cats (who had been shelter mates 17 years ago when adopted ) died within 2 months of each other this summer. Braunwyn who was renamed Sarabeth Silver-Paws has been great company for Victoria (age 15) since the loss of Kelsey and Autumn. She does not give long steady purrs but rather trills when she is happy. She is a lovely girl who the vet says is at least seven years old so we are looking forward to many more years of her wonderful trill. I have attached her photo for I am sure you will remember her beautiful soft silver coat and small deepset eyes.
