Rona (adopted July 15, 2014)

Hi,

It's the Hahn family with our amazing dog Rona!

Rona has been great, and fit in as soon as she arrived at her new forever home. She is more than we could ask for. Rona keeps the family happy and active.

Soon after she got used to us we took her on a boating trip, she absolutely loves the wind in her face and her tongue flapping in the air. Rona also enjoys the water and loves to go swimming in the lake. 

When we first brought her to the farm she was hesitant but got over that quickly and she now enjoys running in the fields, splashing around in the swamps and going on little adventures through the forests. She still hasn't quite gotten used to the horses but prefers playing with the cat. Rona is so sweet and loves everyone she meets, as well as all of our relatives' animals.

One thing that Rona really enjoys in snuggling up on the couch with her favourite teddy bear, as well as sleeping with our daughter Haley on her bed. Rona and her are best friends. 

Rona waits at the door until we get home to greet us with hugs and kisses, she also likes playing outside with our son Ayden - they love a good game of tag.

Rona is really funny and makes everyone laugh, something that we love to watch is when she does "Crazy Rona". This is when she is at the farm and runs as fast as a racehorse around in circles until she stops to lie down then goes to get a drink!

We love Rona so much!

Thanks Upper Credit Humane Society.

Sincerely,

The Hahn Family

Peaches (adopted July 29, 2014)

I wanted to give you an update on our adoption of Peaches, the orange pixie Persian with special needs.

We brought Peaches home thinking that due to her senior age, health issues and potential territory conflicts with our other cats and dogs she'd probably prefer to live semi-isolated on the second floor of our home. It turns out that Peaches is far more spunky than we anticipated. When we first brought her home she hid from everybody, emerging from hiding only in the depths of the night to wander with her awkward, broken gait and inability to hit the litter box. The most notable thing about Peaches was that she didn't even try to clean herself and was afraid of being handled, both signs of how discouraged she'd become on her journey to our family. 

It's been two months now and Peaches seems content in our busy home. At first it was just creeping out to establish her dominance over the kitchen. The next thing we knew she was lining up next to the big retriever, dachshund, cocker spaniel, kitten and adult marmalade cat to join the nightly petition for dinner. She reluctantly allows the maternal cocker spaniel to wash her ears and tolerates the ever lasting kitten games with patience, even occasionally joining in the mischief. The real turning point was a couple of weeks ago when she began washing her own face and body while on my lap for her nightly comb out. That was victory, both for our family and for Peaches. She now keeps herself clean while I'm in charge of tidy fur; she tells us when she wants to cuddle; enjoys lording it over our children and keeping the dogs and other cats in line; she mostly hits the litter box and is improving. 

Thank you for taking in this tiny, elderly bundle of matted fur and helping her to a second chance. Her beauty enchants us; her courage to try again after a rough life is impressive. We love her and she gives us joy.

This is Tess (formerly Tasha) who was adopted from UCHS in April of this year. She's a sweet little soul and has settled well in her new home, especially loves her back yard.

Thank you for the Frisbee - she's been having a blast chasing it and not bringing it back.

Sterling is enjoying his new life with his family

Sterling is fitting in well at home, and has become quite the celebrity in our neighborhood. Everyone wants to stop and say "Hi" to him and he adores every moment of it. We've started looking for different hiking destinations to take him on and recently discovered the Bruce Trail near Georgetown, he set the pace on our little adventure and enjoyed climbing through the rugged

terrain and splashing through streams and mud.

Riley (adopted Dec. 27, 2013)

Riley

Hi! Just wanted to give you a update like I promised about Riley. He is doing excellent! He's such a quiet old fella! But when he's in the mood he runs like a crazy man all around our back yard in and out of the bushes. He likes to play with the odd toad he finds lately in the backyard and has sadly killed a young squirrel too. He loves, loves his pillow but when he isn't in the mood to sleep he will follow me around the house and sit next to me when I am at the computer. We have been complimented on his good looks and his great behavior. Even my parents who dislike animals love him! So here's a recent picture of him looking all regal in our family room, on his beloved pillow. The only place he will sleep! He has made our home so full of love and happiness. Thank you!

Bonzo (formerly Hunter) - adopted February 27, 2014

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to update you on how Bonzo (formerly Hunter) is doing. He has fit in great...he comes to work with me and my crew pretty much everyday. You should see the looks we get with him hanging halfway out the back window the truck! 

We are taking lessons at Scratch and Sniff Dog Training here in Guelph and he's doing great, though it's pretty obvious the lessons are for me, not him. 

He has a great time out at the leash free park where after about a month I was comfortable enough to let him run on his own. We still need to work on the recall skills but it's only because he's having such a good time he loses track of where I am some times. 

Anyways thanks for hooking us up. He's been a great addition to my life!
Thanks and see you soon, 

Mike Post
