Arrow now Ariel!

Arrow is doing well.  We have started calling her Ariel instead of Arrow.  Ariel just seems more appropriate for her.  She has adapted well and gets along great with the cats (she basically ignores them).  She is eating better and seems to be enjoying her new home.  We are very happy to have her in our family.  Thanks again.

A Good Life for Billy!

We adopted an amazing little black lab from your shelter almost 12 years ago after the tornado. You had him named Toby but for some reason he would only come to the name Billy...so that was that. Billy had many happy years and we were so blessed to have him. He was a duck chaser, but would never hurt them, he would let a bunny crawl on his back, he LOVED Frosty Paws doggie ice cream and always slept in bed with us. When Billy got cancer we fixed a way so he could still get up there with us. Billy had surgery for his cancer on his hip. He got through it like a trooper and we had another 2 years with him before the cancer won. He died at our cabin in Minocqua a month ago, his favorite place in the world. He was such a sweet boy, so many people have sent cards because, well...Billy was so special. He was loved and loved so many. He was a gift. Our hearts are broken and the house is empty. But we are greatful to you for him. We will never be the same. In a good way. Our love, our boy, our Billy!

Danni now Letty!

Danni, renamed Letty is doing great.  She's still not so sure about our dogs, but I think it will all work out just fine. Everyday she gets more and more loving towards us.  Our other cat, Storm and her hit it off right away, I think there was only one hiss even and it was from her. He was really in need of another feline companion after the loss of his lifelong friend.  Thank you so much for our wonderful girl.  We love her already!

She's doing wonderful! Running around like crazy. She has a ton of energy. She's eating and drinking lots and rests whenever she's not playing. She loves to cuddle in these moments. 
Thank you!

Tiger!

Tiger is doing great! He has fit into the family perfectly. He is the sweetest cat and loves to cuddle. And he does have a little wild side to him which is always fun to experience. Makes us laugh every time. I bought him a little netted tent and he loves watching the birds outside in it:) I have attached a photo of him enjoying his new cat climber. I am so happy we adopted him and I know he is a happy kitty too!

Derek now Poppy!

Derek (Poppy) is doing great He starts puppy kindergarten Sept. 16. to learn a few manners. He is such a JOY. Keeps me hopping. Will be taking him in this week for rest of shots. He is doing great on his leash. He is great on doing his duties outside. I have a lg. kennel by my bed that he sleeps in for now. Till he is completely trained. I take him out around 1 & 5 in morning. Then when it isn't raining and we are outside all day. He loves it but I do leash him on long rope so he can follow me. I don't trust him yet on him coming when I call. All is good.
Thank You Mary.
