Hi, just wanted to give you an update on Peter Cottontail – we liked the name Pete so we stuck with that. He has settled right in and made himself at home. He is an awesome cat and we love him to pieces!

Thanks Cindy, we are so happy Peter found his way into your heart and home.

Sophie was surrendered to us at 15 years of age. She does not have any health concerns, the family simply did not want her any longer. At the time the shelter was WAY to scary for sweet Sophie, so we placed her in a foster home. However since then Kitten Season has erupted and now that foster home is Booming with life!!! Sophie is in NEED! She needs an adoptive foster home or a new foster home that is more peaceful. If you think you can be either of those things or pass this information onto someone else we would great appreciate it. Please share Sophie. Let’s see her placed as soon as possible! I’d love to see at least 10 shares on this by the end of the day!!!

Murphy is adapting well to his new home and seems to like to be outside a lot. We a run line set up for him so that when he is in the mood to just enjoy the sun or want to run we can put him on it and he just enjoys it. Murphy is eating very well. The first day he kinda made us a little nervous because he would only eat a couple bits and then he wouldn’t touch it for a few hours but he is not eating like there is no tomorrow. He has adapted wonderfully to Devin he likes to follow him everywhere. After dinner we watch a movie and the new and Murphy just jumps right up on the couch with us and takes a nap before bedtime. We have even given him a rawhide and he chews on it for a little while then he will put it aside and go back to it later. He likes to walk around with it in his mouth but every time I tried to get a pic of that he dropped it.We love him so much thank you for bring such a wonderful dog to the expo we couldn’t ask for better.

Thank you again,

Knowing we were going to a GREAT adoption event we pulled her and brought her to our shelter. We then found out she was heartworm positive, which was of course a disappointment for several reasons, one especially being that she could not go to the Expo with us.

Last Friday Tweety and Lela was featured on Channel TV25 News. Within hours of that broadcast she was being ADOPTED!! Her new family has already posted a photo of her on our facebook page. Doesn’t she look content? They have named her Sassy.

By: Beth Balgenorth

“We have actually renamed Cyrus “Copper” and are loving every second with him! He is SUCH A GOOD BOY! He’s smart and loving and the piece that has been missing from our family. Izzy, our 4 year old, has found her new favorite playmate. I have found a companion that I can’ wait to see every day after work – he has brought me such joy and love. I look forward to our morning walks together – I’ve never met a dog that loves sticks the way Copper does. He is so friendly with anyone he encounters! He is truly a blessing to me and my family! We are so lucky to have him in our lives!!! I will be happy to keep you updated – I’ve taken to calling him “Copper the WonderDOG” as he’s been so great, so often that my fiance made him a WonderDOG outfit as a surprise for me! I’ll attach a picture :)
Thanks for giving me the greatest gift I have EVER received.”

Thank you Beth, we are so happy the Cooper found his furever home with you. Loved the photos your shared!
