Brandy

"Hello...My name is Christina. I adopted a puppy last Saturday for my boyfriend Doug. He and I LOVE her! She was the black and white mixed breed puppy. We named her Brandy and she is very happy. We have since taken her to the beach...she is a little afraid of the water, but really loved digging in the sand. She loves playing with her toys and eats every chance she gets. I have taken her to the vet, where they said she is worm free and very healthy. YAY!!! She has another, follow-up, appointment Aug 1oth. Thank you guys so much for helping us to adopt the best puppy in the world. She will be in our lives for the rest of hers. Thanks again." Christina and Doug

Mango

"Here are the pics from Mango's first evening in his new home. Right now we have left him home asleep on our bed while we are out walking our dog Lucy (wireless signal is better outside than in tonight-- modern technology for you...). Mango is still doing very well. He seems to know he is king of the household already! He took a snuggly nap with me this evening and is just a dear cat. We love him to pieces already. His life will be well documented with photos and videos, I can assure you. Thanks again, so very much, for adding this orange stubby tailed fluffy happiness to our home after a week of alot of sadness and tears. I still acutely miss my old cat Max but am happy to offer another previously unwanted cat a loving home. Bless you Joanne! Many thanks from all of us," Jennifer, Michael, Lucy and Mango

Mikey

"Mikey Boy has really adopted us. He is such a great cat, he is the King of our house. Our kids absolutely adore him and he takes turns sleeping with them at night. As you can see, he is spoiled rotton! Thank you for such a wonderful cat."

Stella

Terri Smith of Smithfield, Virginia writes:
"Stella has adjusted quite well in her new home with us and her quieter, much older step-sister Sipsa, who has come to accept her playful antics as that of just being Stella! She is quite the "social-lite" of our home as she deems all visitors as prospective playmates! She has also become my husband's shadow by becoming quite attached to him (most likely due to her previous owner being male). I'm not sure who is more attached to whom actually! She is just a sweet cat and the timing of her availability at the shelter when we began to seek to adopt another cat after the death of our first beloved cat 7 months prior, was surely pre-destined. She and her 2 companion sisters were brought to the shelter all at the age of 3, a difficult age for adoption as most folks fall in love with cute kittens and tend to overlook the adult animals. These 3 girls were all in good hands and well cared for at this shelter prior to having been adopted out to their respective families. Stella has graced our home with her lively presence and companionship for Sipsa and there couldn't have been a better match."

"Dear PAWS,

This is a picture of my baby, P.J. Thank you so much for allowing me to adopt her and give her a loving home. She is so sweet and so smart and she gives me so much love. Thank you so much for all of you at PAWS who try to give these special animals like P.J. a good home. God bless all of you at this special time of year and always. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!"

Thanks again, Patricia Garris
