Sebastian

"Hello: I am emailing you to let you know how grateful we are that Sebastian is in our lives. We adopted Sebastian on December 31, 2008 and we have watched him grow into a healthy and spoiled kitten. Sebastian is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is scheduled to be neutered on February 13, 2009 at the Banfield Animal Hospital in Norfolk, VA. We are extremely happy that we were able to provide Sebastian with a loving home. He is a very happy and playful kitten that gets constant attention and love from both his mommy and his daddy. We have attached some pictures of Sebastian along with a wedding picture of us. We do not have any family pictures yet, but when we get one we will send it." Sincerely, Catherine and Ethan Heben

Sawyer, now Simon

"JoAnn, Our family want to thank you and all your colleagues for the wonderful addition to our family. Simon (alias Sawyer) is the most amazing dog we have ever had in our family and I have ever known in my life. You want to hug him all day long. Maria will write and unfortunately I had to go away on a business trip on Sunday and I miss him after only knowing him a few hours. He is very gentle for his size, extremely smart, an interesting mix of Labrador Retreiver or Golden Retreiver (not sure) and German Sheppard. Amazingly Luke who is also very smart figured if I can't beat him I might as well join him. Adjusted very well for only 4 hours in his new home... after the head and shoulders shower, meal, tour of of the premises and intro to the new bed. Please drop by our home any time you would like to give Simon a hug... after all you're family. Thanks for bringing so much joy to our family." Best regards Gary

Muffin, now Marley

Muffin, now known as Marley, was adopted to be a best friend for Bailey, another North Carolina shelter dog. Both boys are now happy in their Washington, D.C. home. Their owner writes: "Here they are together! Thank you again for allowing us to adopt Muffin. Bailey and Marley are now best friends for life!" Kari Bahl Gallaudet University

Aires

Patty and Jeff Llewellyn write: "To all my friends at Paws....... My name is Aries. I was adopted in Jan. 09 and this is my new home. I spend my days chasing moles, rabbits, and squirrels. My parents say that I am perfect! In fact I didn't do any of the things that my previous owners said I did. Thanks to PAWs I had the opportunity to prove that and have my forever home. Well, I got to go.....plenty of things to do out here!"
