Chelsea Bunners

 

Attached is a pic of Chelsea and her new boyfriend chilling in her condo..…he is a 2 month old lop. She has been spayed, and he is going in for a neuter when he is of age. The most amazing family – I’m just thrilled for Chelseabunners.

It didn’t take long for Olly to find the window.

Ryder (previously Marigold)

Hi,

The older cat is Nosey (Bing adopted from us in 2011) and the kitten is
Ryder (Marigold adopted September 2012).

Nosey was lonely so Joanne though he needed a friend. She was right. Nosey
just loves Ryder and spends all his free time cuddling and grooming her.

Dharma (previously Shea)

 

Hi Jody and all,
Thanks for everything and especially my wonderful puppy!
Here's a little video of Dharma (you knew her as Shea)

Max and Mia

I have been meaning to e-mail you to let you know that Max & Mia – the sibling pair that we adopted from your shelter in December 2011 – are doing great and enjoying their new life with us.

 I am attaching just a few pictures. They have the run of our large treed back yard, and enjoy going to the dog park at least 4-5 times a week – as often as we can get there with them. They are great with all other dogs and people, and love chasing their orange balls they have in their mouths in the picture. Mia was quite overweight, and with their contentedness and exercise, Mia has lost 20 lb., and Max has also lost about 15 lb. The vet says they are doing great.

 I know there were a lot of staff at the shelter that cared very much about Max & Mia, and I wanted everyone to know how happy they are.

Regards,

Arlene & Hans Stadelmayer

Tiny

 

Dear Friends at UCHS,

Remember me... it's Tiny - the 3 year old American Bulldog!

Just writing to tell you how much I'm enjoying my new home here in
Limehouse. I'm really lovin' it. Long country walks twice daily; regular
playtime in the backyard; lots of human companionship. Life couldn't be
better! (Please don't take this the wrong way but... I like this place way
better than yours.)

After my first 2 weeks getting acquainted, I started my training sessions
where I got to learn good manners and a new routine. (My new family just
wanted to set some ground rules and remind me that they're running the show
over here!)

Now that I've been here for 6 months, I've been told I am a very good
natured dog and behave impeccably on-leash and off. I didn't realize how
much I'd enjoy being told what to do!

I hope my other kennel friends will find good homes soon, too.

Anyhow, gotta run now.Time to get back to watching the squirrels and
chipmunks. Check out my pic... and my new trim figure!

Snuggles & licks,
Tiny

(P.S. Special thanks to Jody and Karen for finding me my new home!)

Bo Diddley (previously River)

Towards the end of January of this year we adopted a puppy from you. He was the last in a litter of ten, the lab/collie cross's from a farm in Mount Forrest. His name was River, we ended up changing his name to Bo Diddley. I wanted to let you know he is doing great! He was neutered about a month ago and is up to date on all his shots. I work at a vet clinic in Toronto, and he was recently used in a video segment with one of the doctors on the news about dealing with dogs in the heat, you should check it out!

I think it would be hilarious to organize a family reunion for all the dogs in that litter, do things like that ever happen?!

Anyways, he is an amazing dog- thank you so much!

Simon

 

 

 

It's been almost two months and Simon is doing great. He goes everywhere with us and running in the fields at the farm is his definite favourite thing to do. Whatever room of the house we are in, he is right there with us. Here are some pictures of him with Megan and his buddy Dexter.

Janette

Rue

Hello to the Staff and Volunteers as UCHS,

Our first couple of days together as a family have been great. Rue is a wonderful companion and is adjusting very quickly to her new home.

Thank you all for the wonderful care you gave her while she was with you.

We will send photos soon.

Carla and Harvey

Happy Ever After!!

Callie (previously Trisha)

Hi! These are pictures of Callie (we knew her as Trisha). She is doing very well and is loved

Jake

Just a note to let you know (as promised) how Jake is doing in his new home.
Jake has worked his way into the family and the goings on at the farm very
well. He was quite clingy for the first bit and didn't want to let me out of
his sight, but is getting more confident as time goes on. There are no
worries that he will wander. He doesn't bother the cats and is fine with the
chickens, although he seems quite intrigued with the Guinea Fowl. Jake has
learned quite quickly to chase the Canada geese which is wonderful as we
have quite a problem with them if we aren't vigilant about harassing them.
In fact, for several years we had a service that brought dogs out to deter
the geese from staying. The company wanted $10,000 for a trained "goose dog"
so I am way ahead with Jake already! He is a very good watch dog and would
make anyone who doesn't know him think twice about coming into the house. We
had one training session with horses with Jake on a long line and will have
another this week. He showed quite an interest in the horses but he is very
clever and I don't think there will be a problem with him learning to leave
them alone. Jake is getting a lot of exercise with two shorter walks and one
long walk per day. He loves to come with me to do chores and gardening and
takes great delight in running after the golf cart and barking at it.

Unfortunately, two days after Jake arrived, Freddie our Border Collie (whom
you met when I came to see Jake at the shelter) suddenly became completely
paralysed. I had to hand feed him and give him water in a syringe. I didn't
feel that putting him through a lot of tests at the age of 13 was fair to
him, and so we decided to try him on steroids to see if that would have any
effect. He immediately had a miraculous reaction and Freddie is now able to
move about on his own and even chases the cats again. A friend of mine
suggested he may have "Coonhound Paralysis" which I thought was a joke and a
reference to Jake's arrival, but there really is such a thing. Apparently it
can be transmitted in the saliva of raccoons, and you may recall, that I had
trapped one that had been devouring my ducks. There was a dog stricken with
it not far from here which has now completely recovered. Such irony!

Let me know if you want to visit Jake and I will send directions. I can see
why you would miss him - he is quite a darling and very charming. He just
has to learn not to sleep on the bed after rolling in horse poop!

Best wishes,
Betsy Millar

Lily

Just wanted to check in with you, n let you know that lily is doing
great. We have a gentle leader for her as walking on a leash is not a strong
point for her, and we have signed up for classes at petsmart so we can all
learn some new skills! So far she seems pretty settled and is pretty much a
daddy's girl! She even gets on with luna, my neatherland dwarf bunny, we are
still taking introductions slowly, but so far they seem ok with each other.
I'll keep in touch. Thanks for all your help and it was a pleasure to meet
you ashley and your team.

Jack

Sometimes you just need the wind in your hair!! Out for a ride with Daddy!!

 

 

 

 

Chelsea Bunn

Thought you might want to see an update on chelseabunn the mcCafferty's sent
last week. She will be free range on the main floor during the day, but
this is her enclosure at nighttime in the rec room. It's pretty awesome.
Chelsea will be happy there. They get their second bunny this week, and
once Chelsea is spayed, they will bond the two, so Chelsea will have a
little torti lop husband. They promised they will send more pics soon.

Marika

I'm Forever Home!

Hi Marika!
Well, Chelsea Bunny wasn't sure what to do with her condo but as soon as we
extended her pen, out she came! She must just feel safer and so the pen is
built to travel both levels! She has been eating her hay and has been
hunkered down in her bedding all day. I think she misses her Ali a bit but
as I type this she has just gone to her pellets and is devouring those as
well...touchdown!

Thank you, so much!!!
Sincerely,
The McCafferty's and Chelsea's 'Buncles' (bunny Uncle's!)

Professor Fitwick

 

 

Hello,

As promised we would like to share a photo of "Professor Flitwick" who we

adopted from you two weeks ago.

We have re-named him "Steve". You can see from the attached photo

that he has adapted very well and is a terrific friend for our three year old

Schnoodle, "Molly".

He has a lovely personality and is very affectionate.

We are all enjoying him very much.

Thank you.

Lori Whibbs and family

Samson settling in

OK it has been less than an hour since he came in and he has nosed the dogs
and cats and picked a spot to lounge on the couch. I think he will fit in
here just fine!
