Gibson - Wilson (Little guy)

Hello,

I wanted to write you this email regarding our recent experience adopting Gibson (aka Wilson, aka Little Guy) from the Upper Credit Humane Society.

 


Everyone at the shelter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals being cared for and very open to answering questions and offering information about each animal.

We adopted Gibson and love him very much. We had to be sure to adopt the right dog for our family as we have a 1 year old son and needed to be sure the pet we brought home would be tolerant to a toddler and friendly. We were able to meet with Gibson twice before deciding to put in an application for adoption. We did our research and knew the pros and cons of adopting a beagle. We spoke with Karen a lot and she offered lots of information regarding Gibson and what she knew about the breed. We also got to speak with the person who fostered him for a few weeks just before he came to live at the shelter. We knew that Gibson was the right fit for us.

We were very impressed that everyone took the time to answer our questions and provide us with as much information as possible about Gibson. We were interviewed over the phone by Andrea and she asked very thorough questions regarding our idea of what our pet could offer our family and what we could offer our new pet. Her questions were great because they made you think about things that are often overlooked when getting involved in the excitement of pet adoption. It's very easy to forget the reality and responsibility of having a new family member.

We were very thankful that everyone at Upper Credit Humane Society had the animals best interest at heart and that although their adoption process was longer, it was to ensure the right match was made for the family and the animal. We're confident that we got exactly the right dog and that he got exactly the right 'forever family' and we truly believe it is because of this process.

Gibson has 4 long walks a day, and 2 smaller walks. He's very good with the employee in the downstairs office. He has a favorite blanket in front of both fireplaces and a plush (once stuffed) rabbit that has been quite decimated, that he loves to bits.

He barks only once a day, when the neighbor walks his dog in front of our house and he absolutely loves our 1 year old and can be found cuddling with him often. They are sure to be best pals for a long time.

If it's alright, we would like to drop you a line from time to time and let you know how our family is doing and the fun, loving, lifestyle that Gibson now enjoys.

Thanks so much, our whole family greatly appreciates what you all do and the difference you make in many lives.

Sincerely,

The Bertrands,
Cathy, Roger, William & Gibson
