I met and fell in love with Molly when I first saw her at ACCLOBO in 2006. She’s been the best dog, and my best friend ever since. Keep up the great work Gertie (and staff), the animals need you.... LB

 

Susie is a wonderfully social, affectionate, and obedient little treasure. She has been seen by our vet (twice) has her first shots, waiting for 2nd lot so she can be spayed. Skin irritation has been treated aggressively with MediCal food, special shampoo, antibiotics, and steroids, and she seems to be fine with her hair growing back on the thin spots. She loves to be with people, and is very interested in other animals including dogs and cats, and doesn't seem to be afraid of any of them regardless of size. Thank you for the great work you do and for letting this wonderful little dog become part of our life...JP

Note from Gertie:This little dog was rescued by us close to Muncie. The people who called me told me they had seen someone actually hit this little dog with their car in front of their house. They than witnessed this little fur ball do some somersaults and land in the ditch. They went out to rescue you her and she was at that point just a limp wet rag. They managed to revive her and other than some sensitive areas, she seemed fine. This wonderful man, adopted her on the spot when he first saw her. She has gone from rags to riches and loves it!

 

We adopted Angus about 3 years ago from your shelter. He is such a great boy.....gently, loving, playful and the centre of our family. We now Foster dogs for the Animal Rescue Foundation. Angus is a huge part of our success as a foster family....he helps us with all our fosters and is a great role model for all of them:)

Thank you soo for our wonderful boy!!! ...MR

Just a note to thank you for helping me find a good home!
I was adopted by my forever family three weeks ago, and I am
gradually getting them trained. I have full run of the house,
and I'm really enjoying the Christmas tree, as you can see by
my picture. My new name is "Reese", because my new "sisters"
Jessica, Jodi, and Julie all said my color reminded them of
Reese's peanut butter cups.
I hope all my friends at the centre find good homes too!
Happy Holidays! ... Reese

Sorry it's taken so long to email you about Frankie/Shadow, but life has been just a little hectic around our home since we adopted Frankie / Shadow on May 9/2009.

Shadow's been very active in our home and after having a few other visitors he's been exposed to a few new animals too. Our other 5 year old feline "Cuddles" and a Bird that we babysit, Taylor.

On July 29th Shadow went in for his declawing of his front two paws and came home a few days later weight 3.7kg. He's grown so much since we got him home. Hope you enjoy the photos and I'll be sending more as time goes by! ...P. Family

Hello we adopted Dixi (Buttercup) from your shelter June 15, 2008. My niece volunteered with you and told us of her. We rushed over and it was clear that we were taking the little girl home.
Dixi is our little baby and she sure knows it! We are so happy that we found her and that we were the ones to give her, her new forever home...JT

Dakota

Dakota has settled in to our home like he's always been part of the family! He's met the neighbourhood dogs (behaved like a true gentleman), has chased a few squirrels and had fun in the leaves. We adore him! He learned to sit for a cookie in about 5 minutes...very smart, too.

Thanks for allowing us to bring this sweet boy to his "forever home"....NT

"Brianne" cried the whole trip back to Strathroy. I continued to talk to her, and she eventually, settled down. When I brought her in the house and I opened the carrier, she came out immidiately and snooped around on the main floor. I talked to her the whole time. She kept letting out little squeeks and looked me in the eyes. She finally went upstairs to the bedrooms and found a place to hide. I let her alone for 30 minutes, then found her hiding under my bed. I coaxed her out with food and a loving praising voice and she warmed right up to me.......even to the point of climbing on me to kiss my nose! Because she feels more comfortable upstairs, I have moved her food & water dish up there, and enclosed litter box up there for now. I am so surprised that within 3 hours of being here, she has eaten, she has even come downstairs to see me. I am in love with her already, and her name is now Tabitha ..........Tabby is the nickname! I would like to help your organization out with a larger donation.....LR

I contacted your shelter on Saturday evening after seeing Rocky's picture on your web site. Because we were so interested in Rocky & would be travelling a great distance to meet him, you said you'd put a reserve on him. Monday we drove for two hours to see Rocky. We were met by a friendly staff member who took us straight through to see Rocky. We played with Rocky in the yard & could tell he was a playful pup (we'd have our hands full). The staff were friendly & courteous & made it so simple for us to adopt Rocky. We were also given an adoption pack.

Rocky slept most of the way home. He was so calm. Rocky met the rest of the family; our two rescue kittens Zoe & Ben (who are now a year old). Rocky was an instant hit with Ben. They played & slept together after only 3 days. Zoe took two months

We were in the middle of construction on our farm house so at bed time we put Rocky in a pen in our spare bedroom. It took Rocky 4 days to learn how to climb. From that day on he sleeps at the foot of our bed with Ben & Zoe. Rocky is an intelligent pup; Quick to learn; He also knows how to open Christmas presents.

We are, & I think Rocky is, extremely happy. We've given a homeless pup a warm friendly home & he's given us the love, affection & pleasure that only a dog can give...AD

Do you miss me? The pink lipstick has worn off my face now. Boy do I have a great spot! I can sleep wherever I want at this place ... and when I feel a bit mischievous I camp out on the top step and block the Bailey dog from her food. She's pretty old and can't hear that well anymore or see that well, but I still don't trust a dog. I let her walk by me now and don't hiss at her. I get in trouble when I hiss at Bailey. Bailey was adopted from Lobo as well and has had 15 1/2 years with these humans.

I just wanted to say thanks for rescuing me and helping me find my forever home.

Feel free to visit any time, just wipe off your lipstick before you kiss me ... I mean I am a male cat who is already wearing eyeliner!

My new owners have attached some photos of me ... aren't I so handsome?...Iggy
