Sasha

Sasha has found her forever home - she is now a happy city dweller and frequents the fashionista district of Toronto. Lucky girl(s)!

Stephanie (formerly Ethel)

I've adopted a kitten female from your place, about a month + ago. Ethel.
It's become a middle name now, since my daughter always wanted Stephanie for
her future cat name.

She's one happy, playful cat. She loves to play with little balls and
cardboard boxes, running from one to another, jumping in and out of each
one. She has her dedicated scratching spots which she uses as needed. She
eats well, dry food typically, and a little can of kitten food (tuna/white
fish) once every two days, or when she makes it clear she wants some, by
sitting by the cabinet where her stuff is stored in the kitchen, and tapping
on it, with her paw.

She has several favorite spots to sleep around the house, she loves jazz
music played real low (she jumps on the speaker and sleeps on it then...)
She plays with my daughter a lot, which I believe helps them both enjoy some
company, every day, and I can definitely tell, it is with benefit to my
daughter, as she has this extra opportunity to interact with someone, and
actually play, be active, rather than watching tv.

We have one of those large, self-cleaning (flip and roll to clean...) litter
boxes, with a deep layer of sand inside, and the box prevents spilling the
litter to the floor.

She definitely feels home by now, and I believe she looks like one really
happy cat.

Tegan (formerly Tetley)

Tegan came to visit the shelter volunteers and staff to show off how well his new owner is doing with him:)

Diesel (formerly Henry)

Diesel is thriving in his new home - enormously appreciated and loved. He came to visit the shelter recently and proved to all of us how lucky he feels with his new family.

Telly Update

Just a quick note to update you on Telly's progress. He's now named Mac
(Macgregor). Gramma thought he needed a strong Scottish name to go with his
Boarder Collie roots.
He's settling in well. Has free run of the house with no destructive
behavior and only one accident. I had to give up the couch to him, but its a
fair trade off. He has a pack that he walks (off leash) the trails with on
weekends and fits in well now that he knows his place.
I am a bit concerned that he is beginning to show some leash aggression, but
I'm confident I can train that out of him (and me). It may just be part of
his adjustment to his new environment.
I'll keep you posted on his progress and send some pictures from the trail
soon

Thanks

Keep yer stick on the ice!

Flint Update

Hello,
I am sending you this email to let you know how Flint is doing. Flint is doing amazing! He is part of the family. We find it hard to believe nobody adopted him before we did. He is well behaved and lovable. All around a great dog. Flint gets along well with all of us including our children and our other dog Phoenix. It's like he has always been here. Words can't even describe how close Flint and Phoenix are. It's like they have been together forever. They play together all the time. One picks up a toy and takes it to the other and then they play tug of war. They are made for each other, they are inseparable. They play non stop and love to cuddle. If u see one of them the other is right behind. Flint is one of the most gentle and kind dogs I have ever met.

Now to talk about the only issue we had with Flint. We were sitting at the table when we noticed Flint just swallowed a six inch toy. They tried to use tongs to remove it, but it didnt work. He ended up having to have surgery to remove it. Everything is fine now. He is back to his normal playful ways. At first when he got home he wasn't suppose to play but it was so hard to keep Phoenix and Flint apart. All they did was try to play and sneak around. Now all they do is play. Flint is walked frequently, at least twice a day if not more. He is an active dog and we are very fortunate to have him.


I have attached some photos of Flint. Can you please pass this e-mail along to Kathy, Flints foster parent. Kathy has done an amazing job with Flint!

Thank you for such an amazing addition to our family!

Achilles Update

 Just a note to say Achilles is incredible. He is the quietest
gentlest soul who is excellent on a walk and with other dogs. He in
particular loves my mother in laws senior Westie and Corgi pup. He has come
everywhere with us and walks well with his new brother Buster. He loves
playing with his kong and tennis ball and has already finished off his
stuffed whale. he has expensive taste in food and we discovered he loves
Canisource. He is already a devoted family member who tires out my two year
old and lays quietly around our 9 month old. when they cry he gets up with
us to soothe them. As well as long walks and laying on the couch by the
fireside, we also discovered he is a connoisseur of timbits and likes
blueberries.

Thank you so much for him. Please let his previous owners
know he is cherished. we are truly blessed.

Moggy Update

Just a little update on Moggy and his forever home: His new Mom Kejina says that all of his anxiety seems to have disappeared and that he is doing very well in his new home and all he wants to do is play and snuggle! They look so happy! 

Tyler

We just got Tyler, now Archie, last week and he is settling in like he has
been here the whole time. This is him with one of his adopted pack members,
Max. Nic, Laura and Grant
