Leo

We got Leo from you in Oct and I wanted to give you a follow
up. He's such an amazing dog. He's happy healthy and super active and has
gone from 10lbs to 20lbs. But has held the new weight well. We're so glad
that your shelter was there as Leo has made our family a bit better.

Grady

 I don't know if you folks remember Grady, he's a Staffy mix that my
family adopted about 4 yrs ago. I just wanted to update you on Grady's
progress. These pics are taken just before christmas, after a visit to the
vets where they decked him out in christmas colours.

Grady had a bit of a skin condition when we got him and with the help
of the great team at Kortright Animal Hospital in Guelph, we have it pretty
well under control. With a combination of meds and allergy serum injections
he has a much better coat and his scratching is under control. It certainly
was a challenge the first year, getting it figured out but worth every bit
of it.

Grady has many dog friends, and my family and friends were patient
and helpful in working with him to socialize with their pets, realizing what
a sweet dog he really was and that he just needed the right approach to find
his place in doggy land. When a friends 25lb Golden Doodle snarled at Grady
during play that started getting rough, my 70lb Staffy tucked his tail,
backed off and showed proper respect and I knew he understood the rules. He
has changed so many peoples opinions of Staffordshire Terriers with his love
of cuddling and good nature.

He is a great companion, sticking by my side and keeping me company
after recovering from surgery, as well as getting me out the door for walks
to help me strengthen the new knee. All in all , Grady eels very happy in
his forever home.

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.
