Sydney is a Keeper – Pet Adoption Success Story!

Rhonda,

I adopted Sydney on Tuesday. She’s the sweetest young girl. She’s been through a lot the last couple days, getting spayed, having a lump removed from her hip and flea treatment. She’s doing great and I can’t wait for her to recover and feel better.

Everyone at the shelter speaks highly of you and are very appreciative of your support and volunteerism. Thank you for all of your encouragement and help. Sydney is a keeper!

Shalimar

A little over 20 years ago I talked or made my old friend and old roommate into taking this kitten back to Fresno with him .  She was so shy..he gave her such a good life.. another testimonial that one shy kitten can give back so much given a chance.

We lost our little kitty this morning.  She lived a very long, happy life.She was a litle over 20 years old, which I understand is approximately 97 in human years. You wouldn’t know she was 97 by how playful she was.

I will miss her waiting in the hallway every morning, telling me to change her food dish, and her litter box. Diane will miss seeing her in the front window, and following her throughout the house.

She was the runt of the litter, but she was the most dedicated cat you could possibly have.

We will miss her.

Max SLO

This letter comes from Philip Browning and his family who adopted Max SLO in 2009.

I know I am a bit late, but I thought I would send a thank you and update to those who tried and in the end helped us get our rescued Bouvier/Newfie mix MAX.

Max

Max rules everyone in the family except my wife and myself. He lets the kids walk him and does what they want unless he thinks there is something more important or that they are wrong! He then herds them or drags them where he wants them to go. He is protective of everyone. Even his little pal Rusty. Rusty is a puppy we found on our front porch several months ago. Max alerted us to him and has been his big brother ever since. Rusty was scared of Max for weeks. He is a miniature wirehaired dachshund and some thing else mixed about 10 months old, at least according the vet. Rusty weighs in at 12-13 pounds and is nine inches at the shoulder. Max is still just well over 100 lbs!

Max has really livened up since Rusty came. Their playtime is our own version of pro wrestling. Rusty is like a child trying to lift an adult’s arm pushing on Max’s legs while Max lays down apparently resting. Rusty will finally lift and move the leg only to have Max put it back. They nip and slap until Max tires of it and puts both paws on top of Rusty pinning him to the floor. On occasion Rusty’s head will completely disappear into Max’s mouth. Max decides when play time is over. There is a look or sound and Rusty stops.

Shelter Overload

Watch this piece about animal shelter overcrowding, read the accompanying article here, then read an update from Sweet’s owner below.

From Sweet’s owner…

We have a hook-up from our computer to our t.v. so we played the video on our t.v. yesterday and Sweet was sleeping on my lap….when Ellen’s voice came on the t.v. Sweet’s head shot up in the air, she looked around and then when Ellen was done talking she sighed and put her head back down.  You can think what you want but we think she definitely knows that voice!
