Jimmy and Scuttles
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how the
kittens are doing.
They are so much fun and so cute together. They are well
on their way to being very spoiled cats!
Please send my thanks to whoever fostered them. They are
so friendly and well-adjusted. We really appreciate all your hard work finding homes for so many needy animals.
I only wish I could adopt more!
Sincerely,
Pam Frizzell

Dear MHF,
This is Bella (Shirley) writing to let you know how
I am doing. All I can say is there is nothing like laying in cool grass after a looonngg walk with mom! She makes
me go all over the place, down different streets every day, and no matter how scary it is, she just tells me I can do it and
we keep going. I meet people and dogs and horses and kids. I have to admit, the more I do it the more fun I have.
Oh, I am kind of getting used to this "house" thing too,
and all these silly little things that they think are dogs. Now the REAL dog around here is my big brother Rocky!
He is a DOG. I think he is starting to like me because he played with me yesterday and let me lick his ears. He
is the BOMB!
Just wanted to say hi and tell you all I am doing great,
and I love my new family.
Thanks for helping me find them!
Luv,
Bella
(living with Debbie and Bob on Fat Dog Farm)

Cinnamon Toast
Cinnie loves her friend Cocoa, our Thoroughbred mare, and loves
to "torture" and play with Ram, our Clydesdale gelding. She misses Blue -- our mare that died in January. Cinnie
is a wonderful horse and an adored member of our family.

Summer
|
Summer is a love! He is always curious about what is going on when people/dogs are outside. When I walk out
the door in the late afternoon to feed, he starts licking his lips -- the tongue goes in and out! It is funny!
After getting daily treats -- carrots, apples, cookies -- he will "lip" my clothes, shoes and hair. He is a true clown
whereas his pasture mate is more stoic and dignified. Buddy is the alpha, so Summer has to put up with being second
on the food chain. He fusses about it, flattens his ears and does a little dance behind Buddy's back, but does not retaliate.
However, we took Buddy out of the pasture one time and Summer was extremely upset -- whinnying, running up and down the fence
line and kicking the fence with his frotn hoof. Needless to say, we returned Buddy to the pasture as quickly as possible.
They are best friends!

Seymour
Dear Hilleary, Katie and Staff,
I wanted to let you know how Koko (Seymour) is doing in his new home.
As you can see by the picture he is not afraid of Joe. Within minutes
of arriving he rolled over and offered Joe his belly. He growls and barks at men on TV, however. He'll get better.
At least he doesn't bark at our neighbor anymore.
He loves his ball and soft frisbee. He's learning his new name and comes
when called.
Be assured he's getting lots of kisses and love.
Thank you for the work you do!
Love,
Kelva & da boys

Wally
Just wanted
to let you know how Wally has been doing. He is so much fun! We go on great adventures everyday, and check-out the signs of
Spring. He has decided cats would be nice but the ducks from our local stream sure would be better! He has learned so many
new things: up and down stairs (which are hardwood and a bit scary); he sits for his treats, and potty training has been
going really well for both of us.
We are
still working on teaching him that manhole covers are not too scary, and flip-flops should be put away...or else.
Wally
has been such a sweetie to hang out with; after a long walk his favorite thing is to stretch out on the couch
and fall asleep curled up in his down blanket.
Thank you, everyone, for taking such good care of Wally.
I can't imagine life without him.

Lou (formerly known as Cosmo)
I wanted to provide an update on Cosmo, known in his newly adopted life as Lou (Sweet
Lou!) Although we have only had Lou for three days he's fitting right in! Things have gone so smoothly that all three cats
are already hanging out together (with adult supervision, of course!) My husband and I are taking turns this week staying
home from work to help the bonding process and it's been well worth it. They are now taking naps together and were soaking
up the sun and fresh air in the screened in deck this afternoon. Lou has especially enjoyed running around the house and stretching
his legs!
Lou is such a sweet spirit. He's gentle with the other cats and very social. He loves
getting lots of pets under his chin and loves to flop over next to me to "chill." Cosmo/Lou is a happy boy and he's made us
very happy as well! He's been a wonderful addition to our family.
As you can see, things are going well :)
Thank you again for all the wonderful work you do and for taking care of these precious
animals.

Miss Belle (formerly known as Keri)
We just wanted to write a
quick note to thank you and MHF for helping us through the process of matching us up with our beautiful baby girl Isabelle,
or as we call her, Miss Belle. It’s been a little over 2 months now since we picked her up from your facility and we
honestly couldn't be more in love with her! She brings so much fun and joy to
our home.
She loves going for walks and
playing catch outside. I'm truly amazed at how quickly she learned to bring the
ball right back!
Also, she LOVES the water
and taking baths and catching any ice that may fall out of the ice-maker. She
doesn't think twice about jumping in the lake near our home if she sees ducks in there or chasing a bird that’s decided
to sit in her yard.
We make a point to socialize
her almost weekly with dogs. She has a couple favorites and it’s fun to
see how her demeanor changes with each new pup she encounters. Our kitties aren’t
so keen on her yet, but she is being persistent in trying to get them to like her, even doing the puppy crawl across the entire
floor just to show them she submits to them.
My son just loves her and
thanks God (literally) every single morning for having the most "perfectest" dog ever! We
will continue to keep you updated on her. Thanks again for your help in guiding
us to the right pup. I love your organization.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Warm regards,
Jenna, Kacie and Marcus Hoffman
and Miss Belle
Merlin and Houdini
Merlin and Houdini ADORE each other,
are always playing together, eat next to each other without a problem, and sleep together a lot. While they were really
scared that first night, as you can see they now dominate the house!
Special thanks to Dr. Lois Vitt who
just insisted that I take these two wonderful creatures. I had lost both my cat, a gorgeous white Persian-type who was
over 16 years old, and my Jack Russell who was almost 17, about a year apart, and I honestly was not even through mourning
them and would not have gone for the kitties without her prodding. She paid fo the kitties at your shelter, and I am
grateful for her and her actions. They are well-loved and I feel sure they feel at home already.
-- Karen McMahon
This is Herman and Edward that Lois Vitt adopted for me. They have been renamed
to Merlin (black and white) and Houdini (orange) because their first night here they did a disappearing act and weren't found
for several hours. As you can see, they got over it. - Karen
