Scooby's Happy Ending

Hi Guys! Just wanted to send along a pic of the new "Cleaner" version of Scooby (left) LOL, and his little sister Meika! They are getting along famously, and he settled right in here. He has yet to make even a peep at any of the boarders and has chosen one of the barn cats as his new buddy! Perhaps the grumblies were a symptom of being at the shelter? Either way, he is being a big, cuddly, wonderful boy! All in all things are wonderful so far...we love him to bit! Sue, Fernando, Meika and Scooby :) Submitted by: Judith-Anne Kolu, UCHS Volunteer.

Genevieve's Happy Ending

Hello everyone,

Genevieve a.k.a. Optic has been with our family for almost two years. My husband Ray adopted her as a gift to me for my birthday. We came into the Erin Humane Society location to donate money for the cost of the surgery to save Genie's left eye after she nearly lost it in a shooting accident.

We fell immediately in love with the cat that no one else would adopt because she was "broken".

Genie was quiet and friendly in her adopted home at the Humane Society. She gave no hint of the character she really is, nor of her incredible personality. Genie is VERY talkative and lovingly demanding. She will occasionally go on a day long "hunger strike" if she feels that she is due wet cat food rather then her usual menu of Whiska's Meaty Dry Formula. Genie enjoys being cuddled on your left shoulder, pressed up close to your head, just in reach for her to wash your ear and neck. She really loves a good "fight" every morning to exercise her nibbling abilities - which is the only exercise Genie wishes to participate in. We have purchased many different cat toys for her, trying to peak her interest and get her moving around a bit more. Genie looks at them with utter disdain. She will only play with a toy if there is one of our kids at the other end of it moving it around for her.

Here are some pictures of our lazy, wonderful, loving tub of lard for your enjoyment. Thank you for taking such good care of her while she waited for her new home and family.

CJ's Happy Ending

My family adopted CJ the bouvier last January and saw that the happy endings was back up and running, so here is his...

Although he is 9years old now he is still very young at heart. It did take him time to get settled in to his new family- but he is now over the anxieties he initially had. He enjoys going to the barn where he runs around for hours and goes on hacks with the horses and most of all rolls in all thewonderful smells of a horse farm. Last summer he did agility classes which he was very good at and seemed to enjoy the confidence building! Since we adopted CJ we have also gotten two other family members- Parker a bouvier and Finnegan a dachshund. He has learned how to play since having them, as we don't think he knew how to play prior. We are very thankful to have him in our family!! He is such a wonderful cuddly guy!! Thanks for everything you did for him :)

Big thanks to Darcy and friends

Hi Andrea,


We held  my daughter's 9th Birthday Party. recently at the Hillsburgh arena where We had most of my daughter's class come to help celebrate - Olympic's style - and my daughter asked the kids in liu of presents to bring donations to the Upper Credit Humane Society.

Last week-end we dropped everything off to the shelter which totalled $300.00 plus food/litter/detergent etc....
During the party the kids skated, then went upstairs and in teams competed in Olympic games. Fun was had by all, but we want to Thank all the kids & their families for such generous donations. I have attached some pics from the party, and was wondering if you would be able to post them with a Big Thank You! out to the kids:

Ally, Jessica, Tatiana, Megan, Marisa, Connor, Lexi, Charolette, Samantha, Kylie, Chloe, Micayla, Julia, Elisabeth, Aaron, Callum and Especially the Birthday Girl Darcey.

Please let me know if this is possible and I will encourage the kids to visit your website.

Thanking you in advance,

Sincerely,

Debbie

Tye's Happy Ending

We adopted Tye last October during the "Come and Pet the Cats". Tye is very timid but has
got used to the 3 dogs Zach, Jennie, & Brie.
He will avoid them if he can. He gets on
well with Lizzie, who we adopted from the
Orangeville Humane Society, last August.

Tye likes to sleep in his little tent and sometimes Lizzie sleeps with him. He comes when I shake the bag of kitty treats each night. He loves drinking from my flowers, and he loves eating too. He has put on weight, the only problem we have
is that he will not cuddle up with us or let us carry him.

I guess that will come it time.

Lucy's Happy Ending

I just wanted to thank all of the volunteers at the Upper Credit Society for caring for Lucy during those long 8 months that she was with you. I adopted her on November 25 2009, at the age of 10 years 11 months.

It was obvious within the first hour of bringing her home that she was overjoyed at being in a for ever home again, she just didn't stop purring. No longer is her favourite past time sleeping, but she has her own toys she enjoys playing with, takes a great interest in sitting by the window looking out at the birds, and even enjoys friendly playtime with my other cat Carl..

I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you, one of Lucy playing near the Christmas tree with her favourite toy, and lying on the bed with her new feline buddy Carl.

So again, THANK YOU to all the volunteers for keeping Lucy safe for me, she has certainly brightened up our lives.

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.
