Amp!

I adopted "Amp" a month ago from the humane society in Burnett County. He was only three months old and stole my heart when I saw him on the website. I had to put my black and tan coonhound Murphy down on December 2nd and was in need of another coonhound. He was the only one in Wisconsin that I could find and I had to wait almost a month to get him because his leg wasn't doing so good. After picking him up and having him on vitamins for a month, his leg is perfect and he is happy and healthy! His name is now Willis and he loves to play with my cat and is very cuddly! He sleeps with me every night and enjoys taking walks around the neighborhood! Hes now discovering that he has a VOICE!!! His howl is priceless and I love him dearly! Thank you to the staff of the Humane Society in Burnett County! I don't know what I would have done without him!!

Our "Timmy"!

Just wanted you to know how "Timmy" is doing. My son has renamed him "Serious Black", and we are so enjoying having him in our lives.

He is just the sweetest, most perfect dog!  He is getting 2 to 3 walks a day, plenty of grain-free food and treats, and rides in the car with us. The cats have already grown used to him, and he is even making friends with the rabbit. This morning he met the neighbor's dogs, and had a blast playing with their young black lab. He will sleep well today!

I can't thank you and your staff enough for everything. I was so impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of your staff, and how much you do for the animals with as little as you have. I had poor experiences with our local Humane Society, and so wish they could learn from yours.

We will be directing our usual Humane Society cash donations to your shelter from now on, and I have spread the word to all our pet-loving friends that yours is the place to go when they have room for a new family member.  If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for all you do!

Cassie

Cassie's doing wonderfully, she's such a wonderful addition to our family.  She's so loving and greets us at the door everyday when we get home.  She loves playing with out bathroom rug, it's so funny and if you shut her out of a room she sits there til you come out.  It's so sweet.  Thank you so much for her, we are so in love with her!

Bam-Bam!

Bam-Bam is now Buddy and he is doing really well.  He was shy at first and has gone to the bathroom outside, no accidents in the house.  He sleeps with me and as of today he is a total different pup.  He plays, he takes the leash in his mounth and walks me.  He has adapted to the house very well.  He is so loveable he follows me everywhere.  He is eating really good.  Everytime I take him out and goes to the bathroom, he gets a small treat.  He is the best little guy!
Again thank you so much for letting me adopt him, he will be spoiled rotten!

Gabriel

Gabriel is doing wonderful.  He was a little skittish the first day but by the second day he was letting us carry him all over and sleeping with the kids.  He is even warming up to the dog.  It's funny because he will often by dozing off and the dog will be right by him and he'll open an eye, see the dog and freak out like he didn't realize the dog was there the whole time.  He is also a BIG eater, which is good and he uses his litter box just fine as well.  He loves to play with his feather and wand toys.  He carries the big pole thing around and it's so cute because he's 1/4 of it's size.  We all really love him.
He really never even cried at night which I thought he might, he just suggles up with the kids and sleeps.  I'll try to send some pictures when we send hi neuter paperwork so you can see how he's growing.  He's a great kitten, very friendly and loving.  We feel fortunate to have found him!  Thanks for checking in.
He will get his neuter and declaw in March sometime.  The vet will look when he gets his shots in February to see how his male parts are maturing.  He definiatly likes to claw things, mainly the furniture but I spray him with a water bottle when he does it and he's getting a tad better.  He really isn't a fan of his clawing tree thingy he much prefers the tweed fabric of the couch, ha ha!

Noel

We've just had a break-through today so your email comes at a perfect time.  Noel actually walked right in, without hesitation, into the back seat of the car!!  Yeah!!  Needless to say, she got all the treats at once I had in my pocket.  We've gone for four rides and she's discovered that she can sit up on the back seat and look out the window which she's enjoyed since the first ride (after coming home that is).
Other than one accident the following morning after we got her, she's completely housebroken.  Not sure yet what her "cue" is for going out since I take her out very often.
I'm hoping she's picked up a couple pounds since she's been here as she's quite thin.
She brings us "presents" all the time - shoes, boots, gloves, hats, loaves of bread, etc.  She's only recently chewed things (two items) so anything good has been removed from the basket that she sorts through for entertainment.
I had her up to the Fts where I volunteer Wed afternoons and she was a big hit and behaved beautifully.  Her name is now Shelley and she's taken to it very easily so I think it must sound a little like her old name (?)  I've not walked her without a leash yet and she doesn't know to stay in the car until given the okay but that won't take long.
I'm delighted with her.  As quiet as she generally is, she has a very, very loud, huge, deep bark when she wants to!
Thanks to all of you for caring for her and believing that she's the great pet that she is!

King Barney!

Hello to all my friends there!  I really like my forever home.  The first thing I did was lift my leg to all the interesting things I saw so that the other kids here had no doubt whose house this was.  I played tag with the cat Sammy, and then made Ursula move off the couch so I could lay down.  She thinks that she is a teacup poodle so don't tell her she is a Great Dane.
Mom spent the day hugging and kissing and petting.  Ugh.  But it made her happy and she has food so I put up with it. There are squirrels and birds and deer all over:  can't wait til Spring.  I have an owie on my foot but it is not stopping me from exploring.
Take care of yourselves, thank all the wonderful people and animals for making my stopover there so loving.  I have to go now because I smell food and it has to be for me because I have crowned myself King.
Love and barks
Barney
