in ways you may never ever know! Max
We adopted Gizmo, now named Max, on March 18, 2011. Since Day 1 he has been potty trained and loyal as ever! He loves toys, running and playing with us. He won't let us go into another room unless he says it's ok first! Even then he has to be right there with us! I'm so glad we were able to adopt him and thank the Souris Valley Shelter for working with us so well. He has truly become a member of our family! ~Joy
Nizmo
We love having Nizmo in our home. The name we picked for him suits him well because he is so full of energy. Our other cat Soks missed him when he was at the vet getting neutered and his front claws declawed. They play like brother and sister. He's a purring machine, loves watching Tom and Jerry the cartoon, sitting on mommy's lap while she plays on the computer. Nizmo is a great asset to our home. Thank you. ~ Serena and Timothy
Nala
Hi! We adopted Nala "aka: Jewel" from the Souris Valley Animal Shelter in the Spring of 2010. She has made leaps and strides over the last year...At first would not go near my husband, but will now cuddle with him...She would have accidents on a daily basis, but hasn't had one in months...And will snuggle with her brothers Jager the Lab and Bo the Pointer. She has turned into the sweetest, most snuggly little thing in the world. She definitely is a Mama's girl and will not let me out of her sight when I am at home. I have an audience no matter what I am doing. Thank you to the SVAS for rescuing and taking care of my Nala until we were able to adopt her!!! ~Janel p.s. She has gained a whopping pound in the year we have had her...It doesn't seem like much but when you only weigh 7 lbs to begin with...It's a lot!
Taco
Taco joined our family on June 12th, 2010 we quickly noticed that he had a small hearing problem by his awkward sounding meow and lack of sneakiness. Taco came home to a companion (a Dachshund puppy named Rambo) who was his partner in crime. As Taco's personality started coming out we realized that we had found a perfect addition to our family, with his curiosity ranging from running water to a shiny spot of sunlight on the table, and he's easy going mellow attitude, Taco has brought us nothing but joy. We've brought two more pets into the family since bringing Taco home, a boxer-bulldog (Mega-Tron) and a kitten (Gir), he shows no fear to the large dog he occasionally has to share the bed with and has taught Gir his crazy way of meowing. Taco continues to share so much love and joy with every part of our family, we would like to thank the Souris Valley Humane Society for allowing us to adopt him. It's an amazing feeling coming home to him waiting at the door every time we go some where. ~Kathleen, Chad, Rambo, Mega-Tron, & Gir
Jenny
Hi Its Jane John and jack Britton with pictures of Jenny! We received a care package today from the lady who found Jenny and it was like Christmas! Toys (which didn't last a second) ha and lots of treats! So if you can share this pictures with her to show her how loved Jenny is that would be great. She is a GREAT little girl. Jack has finally come around and was even licking her eyes to help her see. They share a bone. Its so funny as one will chew for awhile and then the other one will take over ha. She has a pretty pink collar and jacket and loves going for rides. We clean her eyes many times a day and she has the most beautiful eyes when she can finally open them. We thank all of you for taking good care of Jenny and for the nice lady who sent the care package. She is very welcomed in our home. ~Blessing Jane John jack jenny Britton :0)
Casey
My husband and I adopted Casey from the SVAS when he was 4 yrs old. My mother has been in Trinity Nursing Home and Casey began his daily visits to her and the other residents along with his brother Chip whom we received from a farm home. Casey is now eleven and still visiting. ~Nancy
Autumn
I am still doing great, although sledding can wear me out. My friend (on the left) here is Tate. ~Adoption update by Deborah who adopted Autumn in 2009
Boogie
I am fitting right in with my new family. I have learned how to play hide & seek with grandson Braydon & he always brings me treats or toys. ~Adoption update of Boogie adopted in September 2010
Techo
Here is my adopted baby girl....she is doing so very well. Thank you so much for letting me adopt her! ~Tammy Davida
We adopted Davida on my birthday March 13th 2010. So far she has been the best dog EVER! We decided to keep the same name because we couldn't think of anything better and we were used to talking about "Davida" at the shelter before the adoption. When we got her home we quickly realized that she knew the commands sit, shake. stay, and come. We also taught her how to slow dance and roll over, but what's even funnier is my husband taught her to run to the end of our yard and go potty in the same spot everytime....its pretty crazy how smart this dog is!!!! We can't imagine life without her and are so happy to have her! Thanks again to SVAS and to others remember.......the best breed of dogs is "rescued" :) ~Sarah
Sadie Russell
"Good Morning, We noticed in a recent newsletter you were requesting information & pictures of adopted pets. Attached are two pictures of Sadie. One resting after play and another ready to go again. She is an adorable companion for us but does need another companion to play with. We are still seeking a Westie or another Cairn to share our home. May God bless you in your work!"
