Hank's Happy Ending

Hi there. Just thought I'd drop you a line about Hank. The car ride home was uneventful - just lots of kisses! Sam & Alex were in the back seat with Hank and Magnum rode up front with me. Our old dog was extremely unimpressed with us and a little insecure. Fast forward to our arrival home... the difference in both dogs here was at the same time amazing & expected. Magnum was now on his home turf, thus not as submissive, and Hank was, for the most part a goofy gentleman. Magnum had to assert himself a couple times but only with a slight growl. We played with Hank for about 3 hours - trying to wear him out & getting Magnum to show him the ropes of dog etiquette. They slept in the shop together without incident. This morning acouple of Sam's farming friends were around and Hank was nothing but his big, klutzy, loving self. Alex's has got him out for a walk and to play as I write this - all is well! You won't be getting him back! And I say that with the utmost respect! Thanks again for everything. Feel free to come and visit Hank. Patty

Sebring's Happy Ending

Hi there.

It has been 7 months since I adopted Sebring. When I spoke to Barb about adopting, and that my prospective friend would be traveling with me all over North America, Barb was optimistic. I have to say that Sebring has turned out to fantastic, and I think she truly loves her little home with me when we're out on the road. She gets along great with her new friends Yao and Libby, my sisters two Devon Rex cats. I read about Tonka and being rolled over on. I think Tonka and Sebring are siblings if I'm not mistaken. They must be because Sebring does the same thing! She makes it very apparent when its food time, twice a day and she won't let me forget. She loves wiffle balls, and tin foil balls, chasing them all over the truck. Sebring garners a lot of attention from passers by, as she sleeps in the sun on the dash board when we're stopped. And is my morning alarm clock, no snooze button on her that's for sure!
So again I thank Barb and everything you guys do for the animals in your care. I have passed my experience along to many different people along the roads I travel when asked. I knew it was a good idea when I had it. And Sebring has confirmed it as well.

Thanks Ross

Winnie's Happy Ending

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, it's taken so long to write you and let you know how "Winter" now named "Winnie" is doing. We absolutely love her to pieces and really can't believe she came into the shelter as a stray. She has an amazing temperament, and is a very sweet natured cat. She's not really a lap cat, but always wants to be close by. Our Yorkie has taken to her and they are now friends, although our resident cat still doesn't "love" her just yet, but is slowly coming to the realization that she now has a roommate.

Thank you for allowing her to come home with me, we'd be lost without her. And, thank you for giving "Winnie" a 2nd chance to find her forever home. Keep up the good work!
Kind Regards,
Karen

Peanut's Happy Ending

Hello,
My boyfriend and I adopted Peanut back in August. She is loving her new home, with her sister Molley (pug) and brother Jinx (bangle/ragdoll mix). They love to chase each other around the house and get into trouble. She loves to be cuddled and purr's up a storm.

Her 'mommy' and 'daddy' love her to pieces and are very happy they chose her to join their family.

Kara's Happy Ending

Hello everyone. we adopted Kara from the shelter in June and we just wanted to say how happy we are that she was able to come home with us. Kara has been doing very well, and is a stickler for routine, every morning at 630, we are awake and breakfast is served and we walk. Kara is an amazing listener (when she wants to) and loves going out for walks and to get the mail. Kara loves the dog park and really gives the other dogs a good running around.

We were told huskies were not really cuddly and dependent on attention, but she loves cuddleing and follows Dave pretty much everywhere. she has also discovered that if she sits on the middles steps of the staircase she can look out the window and give whoever is leaving our house sad puppy eyes.

Kara was having some nesting problems when she first left the centre, she didnt want to come out of her kennel for about 2 whole days when she came home, except for bathroom breaks. but after about a week, she began to feel more comfortable with us and started coming out with her squeaky toy in mouth. She has almost completely stopped using her squeaky toy that she permenently borrowed from the humane society, and now enjoys going to the dog store and finding new toys to destroy.

Libby's Happy Ending

Hi Andrea, and the rest of the Upper Credit staff who made it possible for Libby to join our home….

We adopted Libby at the end of January this year, and were not quite sure what we had taken on. She approached all aspects of life with such vigor and enthusiasm, which while admirable, sometimes had unexpected results.

She has settled into life in our home beautifully. Her dog friends Molson & Parker (also “gently used” yellow labs who found their forever homes with us) accept her willingly and patiently.

My children delight in all of her antics, the most notable of which is her swimming prowess. She spent every weekend of the summer plus some extended weeks at our cottage on Georgian Bay, and her passion for swimming is relentless. She will wake up in the morning, fetch her boat bumper and pester whoever is closest to throw the bumper into the lake. This game continues all day long, and a pink Frisbee is her other toy of choice.

We are so glad that we “took a chance” on wild little Libby (who completely destroyed the lovely dog bed we had put in the back of the car for her ride to her new home) – we can’t imagine what life was like without her.

Best regards,

Cary
