Mickey's Happy Ending

We just wanted to give you an update on Mickey. He is enjoying his new family "The Sloans". He has his first vet appointment with us on April 9. He enjoys the children and sleeping on our beds. We will drop by when we are on our way up to Collingwood in the future.

Candy's Happy Ending

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that Candy is settling into our home very well ! My children have nicknamed her Candy Cane Cat.

The first couple of days, Amos, our 14 year old grey tabby would go up to her and smell her and she would hiss at him and smack him on the head, but yesterday and today they've been sitting together and looking out the window together. Amos even let Candy play with his tail one day. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night to find them both sleeping with my husband and I on our bed. And this morning Candy woke us up by only licking our chins and ears
which is better than when Amos was her age as he would lick my eyelids
and bite my hair to wake me up.

A few moments ago I found both of them sitting on my kitchen counter watching the birds at the bird feeder. Amos hasn't jumped on our kitchen counter for years, but I am sure he thought, "hey, Candy is doing it, so why not?" haha

We are so happy that both cats are getting along and that Candy seems really happy here. Her kitten energy has even exceeded the kids' energy. :-)

Thanks for all your assistance in helping us adopt Candy.

Bailey's (formerly "Rye") Happy Ending

Dear Andrea,

 We want to express a special "Thanks" to you and all the volunteers at the Upper Credit Humane Society for looking after "Rye" (renamed to "Bailey" in the meantime) while she was in your care. She has now been part of our family since February 8, 2010 and has adapted to her new surroundings better than we had hoped for. The information kit and advice you gave us were very useful to help integrate her successfully and were much appreciated.

Bailey is an absolute pleasure to have around. She is about one year old, very relaxed and quiet, eager to learn and is already housebroken. By now she knows all the commands like "heel", "sit", "stay", "down", "come". We even got her to "stay" when we put a dog treat right in front of her and walk some distance away. She will only take the treat after we tell her "go". For the whole time since we got her she only barked once and only because she was frustrated with us at one point. Her home is in the laundry room and we can leave the clothes and shoes there since she will not touch them. No crate is necessary since she goes there by herself when she wants to rest. She enjoys travelling in the car and remains calm so it was not necessary to provide a barrier behind the seat. Attached are some photos we took two weeks ago.
We just love this dog and cannot comprehend how anyone could have abandoned her in -10 degrees temperature.

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.
