I have some photos of Winston/Diesel. He's an amazing little boy. We are on the way to being potty trained...doing really well!! Both Razz and Atia adore him...Atia has really come out of her shell...she plays w/the baby all the time. Soooo cute!! The poor little guy has to hide to sleep...every time I see him I have to kiss him...he's never gonna get any sleep. I will keep you posted as both him and Atia grow.

Thanks!!!!

Hi there!

Just wanted to send an update Champ (now named Goliath), the Great Pyrenees that we adopted on Friday.  He is doing awesome!  He fits right into our family perfectly and we just love him.  What a honey!  Here is a picture we took this weekend..., there are more cute ones every day. Thanks again SO much for such a great dog!

Hi all!

Thank you for letting us adopt Dallas (rght). He has been nice addition to our family. The girls like him alot. They play and play and play.... NEVER STOPPING! Still working on the potty trainning but he is still young and alot to learn. Cadence (left) is pictured with him (also adopted from DCHS). Those 2 are unstoppable. She is teaching him the good and the bad habits.

THANK U AGAIN. YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB! 

I know it took some time for us to get around to writing about our kitten, but thought you might like to know how much love and laughter “Lia” has brought to our home.  Adopted “Faith” from the Dodge Co Humane Society last summer, Lia became an instant member of our family.  Lia definitely has her own personality and we all already know when she wants to play and when she wants to be alone.  When we started decorating for Christmas this year, Lia was funnier to laugh at with every box that was brought out.  She really thought that Christmas was her holiday and all these boxes were for her!  She even managed to open one of the presents under the tree!!  I attached a picture of her enjoying the wrapping paper after the presents had been opened.  She is just adorable and we are so glad that she is a part of our family!! 

Thank you Dodge Co. Humane Society!

Hello,

I am just writing to say thank you so much for helping us find Rocky.  I don't think you guys will be seeing him again because he is absolutely PERFECT :)  He finally found his home! 

Thank you again ... he makes us very happy

Hi Folks!

Remember me? My name is Brin?  I’m the one you guys nicknamed “Tippy” because my head is tilted to one side.  I was with you guys a long time!!!  But I’m so glad my new daddy saw me in the cage in April and asked if he could hold me.  Even though my head was crooked, he said I was cute.

Even though my head still is crooked, I can run like the wind and jump on stuff and play no problem!  My new mom and dad had me all checked out by their vet and I’m fine!

You should see my new house!  I have an upstairs and downstairs to run around in and lots of places to hide.  I have a new big sister kitty named “Froggy”.  She’s still getting used to me but I chase her and she likes it (I think).  And 2 doggie sisters named Halle and Hunter and they love me too – the big one gives me big sloppy kisses, but I don’t mind. 

When the weather turned warm my mom and dad open a thing called a screened in porch. Froggy and I can watch all sorts of stuff outside but still be safe inside.  It’s so much fun here!  I have lots of fuzzy mice and balls to play with and sleep at night next to my new mom.  I also get lots of kisses and hugs from her and dad. 

I love my new home and my new family.  I’m so glad they adopted me!!!  I hope my other kitty friends at the Humane Society get adopted soon so they can have a mom and dad like mine someday.

Hope you enjoy the pictures of me!

Love and Meows!

Brinny “Boop-Boop”

Adopted by Linda and Jeff  in April 2008

Thank you so much for the love of this sweet baby.

Thought you’d like to see how your former “Gwen” is doing.  We have named her Nishka – No longer am I a SHelter KAt.  I know it’s a stretch, my son named her Ishka, he just made it up and my husband added the N.  Then I thought up the acronym.  So everyone in the family had a hand in naming her.  She seems to like it and it does suit her. 

We have had her 2 weeks last Saturday.  She took a bit to warm up, but then she got an abscess under her right ear and had a 105 temp last week.  The vet drained it and put her on antibiotics and she has been a regular social kitty since. The vet had no clue what triggered the abscess, just one of those things.   Nishka and the dog are not “friends” yet, but they do tolerate each other now, so we are hopeful.  She rules the upstairs and visits the lower level regularly now for extra family time. 

We are so glad to have her.  She suits our family and seems that we suit her too. 

Thanks for all you do!

Here are some recent pics of Jersey! She will be 7 months old this month!
She is a very sweet, even tempered, very laid back puppy personality. Of course, she is still a puppy and has her "puppy power" moments of zipping around like a rocket. Independent, and not much into snuggling- more of a "let's play" dog than "pet me" dog. Smart, and was easy to train. I think she is going to be a Moose! Right now, she must be very close to 40-45 lbs as a 7 month old.

Love,
Jersey, Ripley, Oscar, Snoopy, Lori and Todd

Dear Staff at DCHS,
 
We just wanted to send you all an email and say hi and give you guys an update on Zorro, whom we adopted in July. Zorro is doing great! He has been a wonderful addition to our family. Everyone who meets him, loves him. We just absolutely love him and he is getting along really well with our lab mix that we have. They love to run and play all day long. We are hoping to stop up sometime soon when we are up that way, so that you guys can see him, we know you all fell as in love with him as we did. I have attached some pictures of him for you all.  
 
Eric and Melissa,

Hello,

Thank you for allowing us to adopt our Beagle. She is such a bright light!!

I just wanted to update you on Creedance. We are so thrilled that she was waiting for us to find her earlier this spring! She such a wonderful additional to our family.  One look at her and we were hooked!  She is so playful and always minds us.

We are so lucky to have her as part of our family!!

Just wanted to give you a quick update on Lucy. She is doing great so far. So much is so foreign to her but, every day she opens up a little more,she discovers more and we gain a little more of her trust. It has been so rewarding to watch her come out of the shell she was trapped in for so long. She has a long way to go but, we are totally committed to her and we are crazy about her. You wouldn't believe how much she craves and seeks attention from us. It is so cool. Anyway, if you guys don't mind, we'd like to bring her up sometime so you can see how well she is doing.  Once again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to adopt Lucy.

 Zena has given us much love and laughs. She is a strange one, stubborn 
and lets you know when SHE wants to do something..we love her very 
much.She loves to go in the car, doggie treats and to take up most of our 
king size bed everynight. She loves to frolic in the snow but will not go 
outside in the rain. She gets very excited when our 5 Grandsons come over and sleeps by 
them. She is spoiled rotten. It took her 2 months to go upstairs, we 
tried to get her up to the bedroom, now when we are gone she sleeps on 
our bed until we come home. The strangest thing about her is she takes 
one of our shoes upstairs when we are gone and puts it on the bed, 
mostly Tony's slippers. We think maybe she is hiding the shoe so we 
can't leave her again. 

 Thank you for Zena, we are grateful to have her.

Hi!

We adopted Haley (we changed the spelling a bit, like Haley’s comet!) last Thursday.She’s doing GREAT!  She hasn’t stopped wagging her tail, she’s getting along really well with our other dog, and she’s adjusting to her crate very quickly.  She’s just a little joy! We absolutely love her… and her fancy little “shoes”.

Andrea and Andy

Here are some pictures of June, Now Isabelle ( Izzy ) for short. She is just wonderful!  She has only had one accident in the house and gets along really well with Sadie. Thanks again! 

Hi there!

 It’s been 8 months since we adopted Goliath (was Champ), and we feel like he’s been part of our family forever!  We just adore him.  Everyone who meets him loves him.  He is registered as a therapy dog now, and we go on regular visits.  He loves his job!  Everyone asks what breeder we got him from and thinks he cost a fortune. J  They are all amazed that he is a shelter dog, but we love to tell everyone that we do all our shopping there.  (Our last four dogs have been from various shelters.)  Thanks for all you do!

Say hello to everyone for us!

Goliath and Family

Hello,
Kenzie is doing well and has settled in nicely with everyone in our home, including our dog Miss Misty. He hasnt had any accidents and has freedom to run the whole house now. He is happy with us, I think, and we are very happy with him!  Misty slept by him for the first time tonite and played fetch with some toys together today so I think she has officialy shown us she has accepted him, so he is a definite keeper. We love him lots and makes us all very happy. He is already my little shadow. If I move he is two steps behind me. Thank you for the opportunity to adopt from your shelter. You have a very nice facility.

Here’s Emma! We adopted her last September.

She is a great addition to our family.

She is a very happy dog!

She loves toys, running around outside and

she loves to play with her brother,

a 4 year old English Springer Spaniel.

Thanks, for letting us adopt her!

I adopted Emma from the Dodge County Humane Society in July.  She has been the best cat I could have asked for.  As soon as I brought her home she laid down right next to me and wouldn't have anything to do with anyone else.  She's much better now though.  Anyone who comes over, she's over by them rubbing against their legs, head butting their hands wanting attention.  It took her a while to get used to her surroundings however she now looks at me like she is allowing me to grace her presence.  She picked up quickly on some things though like when I turn the upstairs light on, she knows that means it's time for bed so she goes right upstairs.  She loves to flop down with her paws wrapped around my arm and her head resting on my hand and sleep.  I am so happy that I picked an older cat (she turned 8 in August, and yes, we had presents for her) as it took her absolutely no time at all to remember where her food dishes and litter box were.  She's never messed outside of the box either.  She doesn't get in things she's not supposed to but still has lots of kitten in her when we get the toys out!  She's quite the talker too.  She loves sitting in the window or laying in the sunny spot on the floor.  All in all, it was a perfect match!

I thought I would email you and say what a great experience we had last Christmas with your shelter. We adopted a black lab mix female names Rhea. What a great dog! She loves to go on long walks and is GREAT at frisbee! We are going to enter her in frisbee contests this summer! We went to obidence school and she passed with flying colors! She was exactly what we were looking for and we love her very much. What a great addition to our family!  If you get any other black labs or black lab mix in your shelter let us know!!  Thank you again!

To all my friends at the Dodge County Humane Society,

You all might remember me as a kitten named Elizabeth.  I had a broken front paw when I came to you that had never healed quite right.  You wonderful people took good care of me at the humane society until early September when you found me a new family to live with.  When I left you there was a very strong possibility that I would lose my whole front leg to amputation because of my deformed front foot.  My new mommy took me to your vet to have me spayed and possibly amputate my leg at that time.  Both your vet and my new vet in Waupun agreed that although my leg was not aestetically pretty to look at, there was no need to remove it.  Because my new family is a bit silly and have a sense of humor they changed my name to Ilean (get it?  I lean)  I love my new home!!  I have a big yellow lab named Honey that I spend a lot of time with.  And when my family is home they spend all sorts of time playing with me.  I have lots and lots of toys but my favorite thing is the play mice which I love to hide and hunt and put in my family's shoes.  I am very friendly and everyone that visits the house says I am the coolest cat they have ever met.  I love all people and like to be involved in everything that people are doing.  I don't go outside but everyone comes to visit me inside so that's okay.  I purr all the time and love to lay on everyone's lap.  I am always playing and my family says I make them laugh every day.  Sometimes they say I'm naughty because I am very curious but they understand that I am still a kitten and they love me very much no matter what I do.  I just wanted to tell you that I am doing very well and want to thank you for finding me a family that loves me so much.  My mommy tells me every day that I am the best cat in the world.  I love everyone in my new family and hope that you continue to find good homes for all your animals there. Thanks again for giving me a chance.  I love all of you too!

Ilean
