Alice Cooper and Josephine (adopted Dec. 30, 2013)

Dear Friends at the Upper Credit Humane Society,

It's already been a month since I arrived at Johanna's. Can't believe how quickly time goes when you're having fun. As you can tell from the pictures, life is exciting. I have my own space filled with delightful things like dried leaves, dried grass, wood shavings and straw. My front door is a tunnel out into the main area of the chicken coop and to a door outside where I can romp in the snow, kick up my heels and nibble on last year's Christmas tree. At night, when the chickens are up on the roost (silly creatures) and the hatch is closed, I can roam around and bask in the warmth of the heat lamp, if I want to, that is. Most of the time I hang out in my own apartment where I get served tasty tidbits (pellets, oatmeal, carrots, cabbage, etc, etc.). 

Did you know that it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago? I turned 66 :-)

Hope all is well with you and thanks again for the wonderful care while I was with you.

Alice Cooper

Dear Friends,

Just want you to know that life is good with me too. For the moment, I'm living in a little room with lots of plants and a cat named Ko-Ko who tells me she hates the other cats. I don't have a very big cage, but I can hop out any time I want. When spring comes, I'll get to go outside with everyone else. Meanwhile, I'm having fun.

Thanks for looking after me too while I was with you.

Oreo (previously known as Doug) - adopted Feb. 6, 2014

Oreo and Abby

I just wanted to let you know that the kitten Oreo (formerly Doug) that I adopted earlier this month has settled in with his kitty friend Abby and both are doing well. After a short initial adjustment period, they are now inseparable. Oreo is the sweetest natured kitty and has turned out to be the perfect companion that I was hoping for Abby. Thanks so much!!!

Billy (adopted August 15, 2013)

Good afternoon,

We adopted a black cat Billy in August of 2013, and we just wanted to let you know that Billy has settled into his new home just fine. He has some funny habits like playing in the bathtub and showers, only wanting to drink if the water is running, and he loves to sit at our screen door and watch the world go by. He is getting along with our other cat well, and they seem to be getting better together every day. It is fun to watch 5-year-old Billy attempt to tell our 13-year-old cat Austin that it is time to play.

Thank you to the UCHS for brining Billy into our lives, and when the time comes, we will adopt with you again.

Kind regards,

The Davidson Family

Buster (adopted Feb. 15, 2014)

Henry and Buster

Buster is now officially adopted!

FINALLY, we have officially adopted Buster.  The delay was worthwhile as Upper Credit assisted us in finding out how best to handle Buster's allergies. 

From the first day when I met Buster, and he barked ferociously from his kennel (he was just excited and knew that when people came by it meant food or a walk), we fell for him. While the bark was pretty intimidating we watched the "tail" which was screaming "happy happy happy" let me out!

It is unfortunately that large dogs that get excited are passed by due to people thinking they are uncontrollable as this is simply not true. Buster (in his past life) was very well trained, knew all his commands and listens very attentively. His "featured animal sheet" described Buster perfectly: he is happy and simply wants to be with people all the time; however, is happy to relax with his new brother "Henry" also an Upper Credit rescue while we are out.

He loves attention, affection and belly rubs.  Upper Credit was the second kennel that Buster was transferred to due to the scary first impression that could be received. We are glad to make him part of our family. He's one big love machine but is a great guard dog when the need arises.  We are as happy to have him become one of our family as I'm sure he is. 

Once again, thank you to Jody and all the staff and volunteers at Upper Credit Humane Society. The work you do is so very important.

Luna and Toby

Hi Folks at the UCHS!

Marika thought you would enjoy these pics of Luna (adopted from you last summer, but only officially in late 2013). I caught Luna and Toby in a Valentine love snuggle today.  

We love her! Thanks so much for sheltering her!
