Magi & Merry

Magi is taking a little longer to adjust than Merry, but both are doing fine. They are having a great time with us and all the toys and really like their snuggle time, at their discretion of course! We are so blessed to have them with us!

Sadie

Things are going very well with Sadie. She loves to walk and she motivates me to wake up early and walk her every morning. She is a very sweet and loveable dog and she is very gentle with the kids. We've had to make some adjustments but we're learning. It's different having a big dog that can reach the counters :)  She's learning what she can and can't chew and it seems like she's gotten the hang of the bathroom issue. She does great outside and seems to know the boundaries of our yard. Hopefully she continues with that. We really enjoy her and I'm glad you decided to let us adopt her.

Ilsa

Ilsa is doing great.She thinks she is queen of this house and I am her slave.  It's fine with me.  I love her dearly.  It only took her one day to make herself at home.  She sleeps on the bed with me, and likes to wake me up about 6:30 every morning for her breakfast.   I wonder if she doesn't have a Siamese in her background.  She sure can sound like one when she talks, and she does a lot of talking.  We carry on quite a conversation sometimes.  We are doing great.  We really do belong together.

Milo!

Hello!

 

We re-named him Bruce, and he's been doing fabulous! I was shocked when Ryan brought him home on Friday!  Ryan came to my work with Bruce to surprise me and everyone in my office just loved him! Of course, I started crying like a baby because I was so happy! 

 

He gets along great with my daughter and our cat. We introduced him to my dads dog and they got along well too.  He's very social and likes being around other animals and people. He's pretty laid back and calm, though he does have his bursts of energy!  He's starting to learn to walk on a leash, but he thinks it's a chew toy half the time.  He also is learning potty training very well.  He goes on the puppy pad or outside most of the time.  He's sitting pretty well too now.  The DVD you gave us helped immensely! 

 

We ordered a DNA test to see exactly what breeds he is, so we are excited to hear back. With his big paws I bet he'll be a big boy!  

 

I've attached a picture of him with the toy he picked out.  We took him with us into the pet store and he picked out a couple different toys! 

 

Thank you again so much! He is an excellent addition to our family and we love him very much!

Sloan & Sophie (Bailey)

Sloan and Sophie are almost a year now! Sloan is on the left and Sophie is on the right. They are doing very well, although they really like to cause trouble haha. They get along perfectly with my other two cats, which was one of our concerns when we adopted Sloan and Sophie back in June. I just thought I would send an update on them to let you know how they are doing! :) They love to play, with anything they can find.. I just found a chewed up Styrofoam cup in the kitchen haha. They also are super friendly and love to cuddle! When I am reading or doing homework they like to take whatever I am doing from my hands and cuddle on my lap lol. Anyways I love these two cats with everything I have, Thank you so much for letting me have them!

Sincerely,
Tessa

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!
