Christina now Hazel!

Hello- It's me.....Hazel! You'll remember me as Christina. I just wanted to let you know that I am doing very well and love my new home. My new mom and dad love me immensely! We do lots of fun things together; car rides, long walks in the woods, play ball, play with other dogs, go to work, snuggle on the bed, etc. I have lots of toys and a big fenced in back yard to run around. I love it! I am now 15 1/2 weeks old and I weigh approx. 27 pounds. They say that I'll grow into my paws and long legs some day. I am doing very well with training. I learned to go potty outside almost immediately. I also learned crate training quickly.
Mom keeps teaching me new tricks and I know how to sit, shake both paws and lay down. I also have this cool treat machine...the arm is a bone shape ...when I hit it, treats come out!  It's super fun and I love it! I am doing very well with leash training, too. Mom hopes to make me her running partner in the spring. We all wanted to thank you for finding me a new and loving home. I have adjusted really well and am very happy. I've attached a recent photo. I'm pretty cute, huh?? 
Love, Hazel

Kali now Pyewacket!

Kali, now Pyewacket, is doing splendidly. She is such a sweetheart and I feel so lucky that I got to take her home.

Heather now Maggie!

She is doing great! She's helping me read e-mails. Heather is going to be Maggie. I liked Mazie a little better, but Mark then pronounced it Macy, and we know some girls w/that name. I tried to stay away from names of people I know.
Anyway, she's adorable. The first day was a non-stop petting marathon. We were threatening to name her Velcro!
A long time ago, I said that IF I ever got one more cat, I'd choose a Maine Coon cat, and I'm sure that is what she is. She fits the description to a t--large, long fur, bushy tail, green eyes and her coloring and personality.
The claws may be a problem. She prefers the furniture to the scratching pad. She shares our bed at night, which is fun. I hope she's as happy here as we are to have her.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks,
Maude

Whiskey now Buckey!

Things are going well.  Only one issue encountered to date.  I had to trim his nails after a couple of days.  He was crawling up my mom's legs and arms leaving claw marks.  Once the nails were cut they are getting along famously. 
 
We made an appointment with Tom Harstad the end of the month for rabies shot and nail trimming.  Mom's day's are not dull.  He is a busy little guy and VERY spoiled!  He eats, drinks and poops a lot!  He has a cat tree and many, many toy's!  So all in all things are going great!
 
Here's a photo for you!

Maya, Ursula and Ellie!

Maya
Ursula & Ellie
My husband and I adopted these three wonderful animals from the Humane Society and we couldn't be happier.  All three have settled in with the other dogs and cats and are now part of our family.  As a volunteer, the first animal I met was Ursula, a shy kitty who was waiting to be adopted and I fell in love with her.  Well she was, but then two years later she was back at the shelter.  I couldn't stand to see her there again so scooped her up and brought her home and the rest is history!  Maya came in as a lone puppy and on July 2011 she became another member of our family.  As if that wasn't enough, we adopted another puppy in May of this year named Ellie.  We have a very busy household now with our three dogs and various cats and don't regret having any of them.  All are rescue animals and they make best family additions, they are loving and grateful of having a forever home.  Mind you once in a while I have to remind them, but worth every minute.  If you're looking for a new pet, please consider adopting from a shelter - you won't regret it!
