Success Stories - Page 4

Hello, I adopted Gromit over the weekend. He seems to be adjusting to his new home very well and he is starting his obedience class tonight. He goes for at least two 45 minute-1 hour walks each day, and spends the majority of the day lounging around on his bed, or if we're not home, on our bed or the couch, and chewing on his rawhide bone. He seems very happy with us and we are definitely happy with him. He is being a very good boy. We changed his name from Gromit to Ripley and he already seems to be learning it.
Thanks, Shari

I want to thank all the nice people at ICHS. I m sorry if I was difficult at times. The vet here says that I probably didn't eat very well while I was in the shelter, but since I've moved I've started to eat really well. I like my new place. Say hi to all the doggies there at ICHS. I miss you guys.

We are the family that adopted Mooney, now know as Dezi (I will explain in a moment). First off I would like to say thank you for allowing us, not only to adopt this wonderful dog, but allowing my wife to pick her up and send in the money later that day.

Dezi has become a wonderful addition to our family, and she has adjusted well to our household. The cats like her, and she likes them as well. Our kids think she is the greatest, and show her the love and affection that she deserves. This afternoon we took her to see our vet, and get her rabies shot. The vet did find a severe ear infection, but we figured that out prior to our appointment. She is now getting treated for that and will be fine shortly. She has no other problems that were detected, and it appears that our original guess that she was once with another family were correct. The vet agrees that she is to well behaved to have been a stray her whole life, but the possibility of abuse was likely. We also noticed that every time we called our son Devon, she would come to us. So we tried a couple of other D names, and when we said Dezi she came running. We are glad that she feels comfortable in our home, and rest assured she will get all of the love and warmth our family can provide. On behalf of my family we would like to thank you all for your kind and noble work you do to save wonderful animals, and put them with families that will love and care for them.

Thank you again, and we hope you have a happy holiday.
Sincerely, Daniel Grejczyk & Family

Hi everyone!! Life is good at my new home...Bones and lots of couch space! And I'm getting really good at frisbee! There's even a pond at my new place...can you believe it?!? Long walks and some cows to bark at across the way. Sometimes I even play with the cats!

Thanks for taking such good care of me while I was visiting the shelter (you're welcome to visit me anytime....just call first, cause I'm a very busy dog now;^)

This was our Christmas Photo for 2001. TC and Turner (who we adopted from you last May) sat, posed and look great as usual!! We've taken classes and Turner will begin testing for Pet Therapy soon. He has added some weight since last spring and has filled out beautifully as you can see. (90 lbs. lovin') Best wishes to all of you helping the animals. Bless you all, Love and OX's -Turner's family

My new Mom said I needed better social skills so I went to school last summer. It was fun-here's my graduation picture.

Hi Everyone at ICHS we are very pleased with our little dog that we adopted in August 2002. She's a little mouthy sometimes but we love her anyways! The Laufenberg Family
