Lotus and Mukai Lotus and Mukai

Hi, we adopted 2 kittens a few months back and they are great! They have adjusted quite well. The other kitties have taken them under their wing and taught them all the 'fun' stuff. Lotus (Nutmeg) is now alpha mama kitty. She gets after the others if she thinks they're too rough with Makai (LDB). It is the funniest thing! We absolutely LOVE the animals. We are relocating to the virgin islands, and they all will be right there with us. No worries, we arent 'those people that'll leave them behind. Thank you so much for your help in the adoption!

Reed Reed

We had to send you a picture of our beloved Reed (aka Hank).  He is very loving - and now he is receptive to training. Still have work to be done, but he doesn't chase the cats now and turns the other way when one of the cats is aggressive with him.  He has reached the point where he wants to please.  Happy time!!! It has taken us 5 months to reach this happy time.  We love him.  Thank you for making him available to us.

Polly Polly

 

Our new puppy is doing wonderful. The kids named her Polly. She is such a joy, very playful and smart. She walks on a leash fairly well and the kids love her. They are constantly playing and rolling around with her. Sable (our other dog) is enjoying her also. I have not seen Sable be so playful in years. She is a great asset to our family. Thanks for all you do for all the animals in your care.

 


Coco-Loco Coco-Loco

I've had many animals in my life from purebred to pure mixture, but the best always seem to be in an animal shelter when they pick me as their new human.  In 2006, after losing one of my cats to a horrible accident, my husband surprised me with a visit to the Casa Grande Animal Shelter so I could adopt a Siamese cat, which was a breed I'd always liked from afar.  We were blessed to be chosen by a beautiful Chocolate Point Siamese (but NOT by his sister), whom you all called Buster.
 
It's hard to believe it's been over three years since that day.  Buster's name quickly became Coco-Loco in our home; I almost think he whispered it in my ear as I was sleeping that first night.  We lost our beautiful Coco-Loco this last Christmas to liver failure (the vet says it was a congenital problem as he was never fat), but his memories will remain among our family's fondest.  Every night, while I worked at the computer, he would come and snuggle next to me by wedging his body between mine and the arm of the chair'.  He was happy to stay there as long as I would let him.  At other times, if I was doing a lot of moving around, he would perch on the very top of the chair and watch from above my head, but he was never willing to let me out of his sight if he could help it.
 
He was truly a special cat:  exceptionally loving, utterly at peace with who he was, and mecurical in his playfulness.  Much of the time his eyes were a brilliant blue and he was as laid-back as a cat could be.  But sometimes his eyes would turn bright red and he'd morph into Loco-Coco.  Those were the times there would be silliness from one end of the house to the other as he did laps across the couch, over the bed, and around the table.  He loved those runs, but at the end he'd always come back to be next to us.
 
We miss our Coco-Loco very much, but are so grateful for the time we had with him.  Thank you for allowing us to adopt one of the most amazing and special cats I've ever met.  Though far too short, his time with us brought great joy.  You can know that we'll be returning eventually to find yet another special friend.
 
Sincerely,

Maryeileen and Antonio

Sox Sox

We want to thank you so much for "DOC" which we changed his name to "SOX" as in "REDSOX". We brought him into our home just one week ago. We just love him so much, as he turned out to be so perfect. You had found him running the streets, which was really someones great loss and our wonderful find.
He is well behaved, housebroken, loves everyone he meets, even our grand kids. He is a great joy to our family, so thank you for letting us bring him into our lives, as we look forward to years of love.
Please if anyone is looking for a wonderful pet, go to your local Animal Care Center and adopt your best friend.
Thank you, and God Bless

Pickles Pickles

"I don't know if you remember, but you picked up a brindle female french bulldog about a year ago that was wandering the streets because, you believed, that her owner had become homeless.  You called the French Bulldog Rescue Network and I drove down and picked her up.  I just wanted to forward you a couple of pictures of the little darling in her new home.  Her new name is Pickles (we had named her Astrid) and she is a spoiled rotten only "child".  As a foster mom, I love knowing that the story has a happy ending - I thought you might as well.   Enjoy."
