George
George entered our program with his sister Blossom after they were surrendered by their elderly owner. Both cats seemed rather depressed as they were being maintained in their home by family members, but their owner had already relocated. George, a purebred Maine Coon cat, came to us with terribly dull fur, fleas, a terrible case of ear mites, and an upper respiratory infection. He was nurtured by our foster, Cheryl Brunel, and after a month of good food, flea preventative, ear mite meds, and antibiotics, George really started to shine. At almost sixteen pounds, George had the unmistakable presence of an “self-assured, in control” Maine Coon! He was adopted by a family who recently relocated to another state. His new family sent Hanover Humane this digital and let us know that George had settled in. He now has a companion cat named Zoey living with him, but George is still King!...
Maui
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get you some pictures of Maui, but here are a couple I’ve taken with my phone! Hope you enjoy them. She’s doing great! I absolutely love her and can’t even remember life without her in it! She’s an amazing companion. Thank you so much for your help in bringing us together. Jessica ...
Hanna
Hi there, Hanna is doing great – she has also taken to the indoor life quite well, and is very fond of her stuffed toys, has frequent ‘puppy quakes’ as we call them, where she tears around the house with her toys playing like a puppy. She has been walking with me about 4 times a week 1-2 miles, took a while to get adjusted to the walking thing as she was terrified of the lawn mowers and any odd noises, but she is doing so much better, having Jo work with us with the pinch collar really helped, she is on a regular collar now. She loves playing with other dogs, we spend a lot of time with Scott’s sister who has an 8 year old lab, and they get along great. She is still working on the house training…again, doing better, but still a few accidents. She is a sweet girl, loves the kids, and is still obsessed with the cat (see pictures I attached…really quite funny), who has decided that Hanna is ok, and the cat chases the dog around the house. We are so happy to have her in the family. So glad her puppy is doing well – hard to believe she had puppies as she seems so young herself! Thanks for checking on her. Jennifer Brown ...
Molly
I wanted to check in and let you know that Molly is doing good. She had no problem getting used to her new home and her new big brother, Kuma. They play with each other and Kuma is very tolerant of her climbing on him and taking toys from him. He sometimes gets irritated with the little sister, but is very gentle and just walks away when he is tired of her licking his face. They will nap together and play for hours on end. She loves to lay on him. One night when we were getting ready for bed, she took her favorite stuffed toy and went and laid down in Kuma’s bed. It was like, ‘ok, I am ready for bed and I will sleep with Kuma tonight.’ It was very cute…. Molly is learning how to sit, stay and lay down. She is also learning how to walk on the leash. She loves treats, especially carrots and ice. She has met most of the family, but will be meeting some of the nieces and nephews this week. We are trying to get her socialized by getting her around more people and kids. She is nervous at first, but she starts to warm up once she gets used to them. She is very cute and is a great match for Kuma. I noticed that Megan wasn’t on the Web site anymore, I hope that means she has a new home as well. Thank you for all of your help, and we are happy to have Molly as a new member of our family. I have attached a few pictures for you. Thank you! Beth...
Kacey (a.k.a. Cotton)
Hi Everybody, I just wanted to update you on my new home, I love it. My new family re-named me Kacey, and have taken very good care of me. Since I left you, I have learned that treats are really good. If you sit long enough, someone will always give you one. There are toys at my new home, a stuffed chicken and purple ball are my favorites. I get to chew on bones and rawhide, I just love that. My mom takes me running in the mornings, and I just can’t wait. That walk and getting to wake-up Cassidy, who is 9, are my favorite parts of the morning. There is even a couch that is just mine, how cool is that. I get to snuggle right up to Mom and Dad, and no one shoes me off. Guess what, I just graduated from Intermediate Training Class!!! Mom and the trainer say that I have made such progress. I still get real scared though, just not quite like when I first came here. Dad and I are getting to know each other, he still scares me some. Mom says that he is ok, but I just don’t know. He does give the best treats . . . I think I will give him another try. Oh yeah, I also have a new dog friend named Boomer. We run, jump and play until we are all pooped out. I have learned so much in the 3 months since they brought me home. I go potty in the backyard, not in the house. I know the words, crate, sit, down, wait, stay and settle (learned all that in class). I have learned how to go up and down stairs, and in and out doors. I learned that inside was much better than out, too hot these days. I have learned that I can eat and know one will take it from me. And the best thing is the bowl is filled everyday without fail J My “T” faded and my coat is starting to become full. Thank you so much for rescuing me and finding me such a great home. Mom says I still have some things to work on, I am going to try real hard to stay around here. I really like it....
Clara
Linda, I saw the section of your website that has updates on the dogs that have been adopted from you, so I thought I would let you know how Clair (we call her Clara now) is doing. It’s hard to believe that she’s only been part of our family for just over 2 months, because she just fits in so well! We are so grateful to have been able to add her to our family. Clara is so friendly and sweet, and loves being around people. It can be quite a challenge to keep her under control when guests come over! Especially when the weather’s nice, she really time she managed to dig out under the fence, but then she just sat right outside the fence barking until I went out to bring her back in! We were amazed (and quite relieved) that she didn’t wander off. We figured she must feel that this is where she belongs. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to adopt Clara. She has been such a wonderful addition to our home. Here are a few pictures you might enjoy. The first picture is from a week or so after we brought her home, and she decided to drag her bed out into the kitchen while we were eating dinner. She entertained us for quite a while dragging it all over the kitchen and playing with it! Katie and Tim...
