Ellie

Hello everyone at HSBC!

Just wanted to give you an update on Ellie (Elsa), who I adopted in January of this year. Things are going great--she adapted to her new home very quickly! She's a very happy dog who loves to be around people and other dogs. She is also the cuddliest dog I've ever met! Winter was fun for her--she loved playing in the snow and got to go ice fishing a few times too. My family loves her and I feel very lucky to have adopted her. I've attached a couple of pictures--Enjoy!

Chloe

I just wanted to say thank you again for the opportunity to adopt Chloe. She is precious!!! Here is a picture of her and her new best friend after we got home that day. We walked in the door and she fell asleep on the stairs. Jake likes to do whatever she does :-) Thank you! Elle Wood

Chloie (aka Goldie)

Wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you. My wife and three of my sons visited you on Saturday March 20th to adopt Goldie (ummm... renamed to Chloie). She is doing great. Our other dog Sadie (two year old black lab mix ... also a shelter dog ... Star of the north shelter in MN ) took to her too. We were very careful on introductions and sharing affection with both dogs to avoid jealousy. Where Sadie is more my dog for playing and walking, Chloie is clearly my boys dog. The boys have taken to her 100%. Even my oldest son who can be a challenge (as every teenage boy is) takes great pride in her. She is a real gift.The big surprise is just how well the two dogs do together. On the first day Sadie started bringing toys over to Chloie and dropping them next to her. Now, we are seeing Chloie take to Sadie too. Just today, they started laying next to each other. Pretty neat.

Sadie was laying on the kitchen floor while I made lunch for Kevin and I looked over and Chloe went and laid down tucked in near Sadie's tummy and back legs, They both then put their heads down and just laid there!!!
CUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bailey aka Sally

We adopted Bailey(sally) a 3-legged black lab in Feb 2008 from your shelter. We had chosen her in part because we thought she would be slower...not the case. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. She lets our boys ages 2 and 5 do anything to her. She loves to get in on the action with her toys. She loves to have them chase her. She is very relaxed most of the time. Bailey enjoys our home as we have an open field behind us which allows her to sit on our deck and watch bunnies(her favorite), birds, deer, turkeys and most anything else. She likes to have her grandparents babysit on occasion as then she gets to go to the "city" and watch squirrels and sleep in bed with grandpa.

She is a great dog.
