"Violet" |
| |
I adopted
Violet from CVAS about 5 months ago. I grew up in a
household that always had a cat, dog, or both. I didn't
even think about adopting a pet and then all of a sudden
one day I realized I couldn't live without one! I
visited CVAS and immediately fell in love with a 2 year
old cat named Violet. I knew I had a treasure when I
was carrying her out of the shelter and one of the
volunteers came up to me and told me how excited she was
Violet was getting a home. She told me Violet was one
of her favorites.
Violet
has brought so much joy into my life. She has made my
house into a home. Every evening when I arrive home
from work she is right at the door meowing her
greeting. She can be found sleeping on any bed, chair,
or sofa, the mantle, or in the window on a warmer day.
But when it's time for me to head to sleep, she is right
by my side. She likes to snuggle right next to me for a
few minutes and then she moves to the foot of the bed
and curls up and goes to sleep. I can tell she's so
happy to have a home and someone to love her. And I
feel the same about her!
I've attached
some pictures of Violet doing what she loves best -
napping.
She has become
the star of my house. My nieces love her, my family
loves her, and so do my friends. She's just precious.
Thanks to the friendly and kind staff at CVAS. You made
the adoption process easy and fun. Violet and I send
our thanks!

Hello CVAS friends
at the shelter,
FINALLY I have some good pics to send. Bangor is a total

"Kittana" |

Dear CVAS,
Angie, you were right!!! And,
thanks for letting us adopt a cat. Kittana is loveable
and huggable and a joy to have in our home. She seems
to love hanging out with us around the house no matter
what we are doing. She even gives my daughter and I
kisses on the nose each day. She has been lounging
around a lot and we are getting enjoyment out of
pampering her. I feel so blessed that my daughter and I
were the lucky ones to give her a second chance!! She
was an answer to my prayers!! This is one special
Kittie with a magnetic personality for sure!!! Thanks
CVAS, and God bless each of you for what you do!

"Jasmine" |
| |
|
| |
Here are some
pictures of Jasmine (taken in the first few days after we
brought her home).
We LOVE this dog. She has quickly integrated into our
family and life and seems quite happy here with us. Of
course, she’s in doggie paradise in our home.
She’s enjoying her new-found freedom in her big yard (3/4
acre). As I mentioned, she is beginning week 3 of her
invisible fence training. It’s “watch” week where she can
be in the yard by herself while we keep an eye on her. She
absolutely loves to run and chase sticks and balls.
Jasmine has visited our older son and his friends at
college (she was a very big hit), has gone with our daughter
Adrienne to work at the horse farm (she licked the nose of
one of my daughter’s favorite horses), travels to Pet Smart
with Adrienne to pick out dog toys (I’m not kidding –
yesterday they came home with a booda (sp?) bone that
Adrienne said liked better than the others).
She is very sweet, intelligent, eager to please, and
obedient. We will be taking her to obedience classes
beginning in early March and are thinking of training her to
be a therapy dog.
We are thoroughly enjoying having her to share our life.
She most definitely has filled a void left by the death of
our previous German Shepherd, Heidi.
Thank you for taking good care of her until we found her and
adopted her. Please share the pictures with the other
CVAS staff.
Have a great weekend!

"Cocoa" |
| |
|
| |
We
just wanted to thank you so much for our
sweet girl - Cocoa. She has been such a
wonderful addition to our family. We brought
her home in the beginning of December 2008.
From the moment she stepped out of our van,
she was completely at home. She is the best
playmate to our kids. She loves to play
fetch and tug-of-war. She is a "daddy's
girl" and follows my husband around all the
time. When we first got her she had a
serious limp and the vet said she really
needed surgery. However, over the past 2
months the limp has gone away. With a lot of
TLC and a very cushiony bed, her legs
improved dramatically! She may still need
surgery in the future, but for now she is
doing well. We want to thank you so much for
taking care of her and allowing us to bring
her home. We love her more than we can tell
you. We're looking forward to this summer
when we can go hiking, swimming and camping.
We'll send you updates periodically.

"Brody" |
| |
|
| |
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd share a picture of "Sam" with you. FYI -
His name is now Brody, because the last name of the folks
who told us about him is "Brodish." We took him to the
Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay this past weekend, and
this is a picture my sister took of Sam and him. Boy, is he
ever a "beach dog." He loved, loved, LOVED the
water!!! He stays right with us, and on Saturday there was
no one else there on the beach (small private beach) so we
were able to have him off-leash. He ripped up and down the
water's edge, and, at one point, his Retriever gene kicked
in -- jumped right in after a duck. That water was COLD,
but he didn't seem to mind it a bit. We had bought a
couple of those balls on a tether, so he was chasing his
ball up and down the beach too. He was one t-i-r-e-d happy
puppy that night. :) I have video of him playing on the
beach, and if I can figure out how to send it in an email,
I'll forward that, too.
Somebody trained this dog. I don't know who, but he's a
GOOD dog. I feel bad that they lost him. (if they lost
their house and just turned him out, though, I don't feel
bad at all.)
We'll stop by some time soon to visit when we get up there.
More later . . .

Just wanted to say
thanks for approving us to adopt Bernice, she loves her new
house and playmate. She did really great right off
the bat. She has taken to us and her new surroundings
without a hitch. I took a few pictures of her, and I've
attached them to this email. Thanks again!

"Harley" |

Hi!
Just wanted to let you know I just love my new home. This
place has so many places to take naps and just chill!! Jim
and Linda play with me a lot and I pretty much took over
every corner of the house.
They went away and I swept 4 rooms for them with their handy
dandy new "pet edition" Roomba sweeper. I just touched the
light on the top that said "Clean' and the thing just took
off. It went all around for a long time. They were very
surprised when they came home and the Roomba was all out of
charge and the filter was full! It ate one of my puff balls
and Jim gave it back when he cleaned it.
Thanks for giving me to Jim and Linda! |

Hey guys,
I just had to write you and tell you how awesome it has
been with "Cash." I think we are the luckiest family ever!
He has been the best dog so far. He roams the house, he
listens well and the kids love him!! He also has a lot of
fun in our back yard. He plays catch and trys to catch the
frisbee!! I will definitely send more pics soon. We are
loving him!! Thank you so much!!

"Scotland" |

Scotland is
adjusting to his new home; playing, eating well, using
litter box and
purring like crazy. Loves the sunshine on our enclosed
porch. He is very gentle and laid-back, however also loves
to play! I attached some photos from the weekend. I think
we are going to call him Scotty, however not 100 percent
sure.
He has a vet appointment on Thursday, and we will send the
postcard back to you.
You and your staff do a wonderful job at the shelter. We are
happy we came to you, and will look forward to staying in
touch.

"Polly" |

Here are some
picture updates of Polly. She had her vet visit on Friday
and we renamed her Bella, and she's still pretty shy from
time to time, but she loves the other kitties. She and our
other young cat, shown in the pictures, are now best
friends. It's adorable, and she is so sweet. Thank you!

Just
wanted to email you all and let you know how much we
enjoy having Cutie Pie (Princess) in our home. She is
such a joy and gets along great with our other cats. We
are so glad we adopted her. I hope the pic of her turned
out okay. Thank you so much for letting us adopt this
wonderful kitty.

Just wanted to
let you know how "Matilda", who we renamed Maggie is doing.
She is a good dog. She quickly learned some commands and
rarely has an accident in the house. She and Penny, our
Golden have become inseparable. We are really happy she is a
part of our family. |

"Brie and Munchkin" |
| |
|

Hi Everyone,
Monterey's name changed because she is a real muncher now,
so I call her Munchkin. Brie is still my alarm clock, waking
me up on weekends at exactly 7:00. She is always patting my
nose and when I get out of bed grabs my leg, meaning hurry
up and feed me Mom.
Hope all is well, Linda |

"Madison" |

My boyfriend and I
adopted a precious 10 week old beagle mix puppy named Rouge
in March of 2008. Rouge, who we now lovingly refer to as
Madison, has been such a blessing in our lives! She has such
incredible spunk and personality. She visits the horses at
the barn, stays at her grandfather's house, and plays around
the house with her 6 year old papillon sister. Thank you so
much for all that you did for our little girl when you found
her at 5 weeks and for allowing us to bring her into our
lives. We will definitely continue to adopt all our furry
friends in the future.

"Jupiter" |
| |
|
| |
Hi everyone at
Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter!
This is from Simon, my new mom is typing it for me. She
calls me Jupiter and sometimes Jumping Jupiter 'cause I can
even jump over my new doggie gate. LOL
I love my new home. It's quiet and warm. I get to go for
walks all the time -- even in the middle of the night to go
potty, when I wake mommy up to take me out. We love to
chase balls and rope toys all over the house, 'til I get
tired and cuddle up on the sofa with my new teddy bear.
My new mom stayed home from work yesterday so I could get
used to the place before she went back to work. I was such a
good boy today I just lazed around the house 'til she got
home and didn't make a mess at all, and then we went
running.
I'm gonna come out to visit you guys this weekend for the
Christmas party so I can have my picture taken with Santa
Claus. But I'm not gonna ask him for anything for me, since
I have so many new things to play with and sniff and see.
Although I may ask him to find a good home for all my
buddies at CVAS for Christmas so they can be happy too.
I've met some of my pet neighbors already a cat and 2 horses
across the drive, they are sooooo big :P
When the other doggies across the drive and their mom come
home, I'm going to meet them and play with them too.
I'm a little leery of any men in the neighborhood but I'm
getting used to them, since they only pet me and give me
treats so I'm not so scared of them.
My new mom tells me I don't have to worry about any new
noises or guard the house, because she'll protect me and
won't let anyone in the door but I growl or bark anyway.
Well, I'm going to go jump on my bed now with my teddy bear
and get some sleep because I'm all tired from running and
playing.
See you all soon.
Love, Simon aka Jupiter |

Hello this
is the Bolin's we just wanted to send you a few pictures of
Skye making herself at home. She is doing really well. She
and Daisy have been getting along really well also. Skye
say's she would like to thank you for all you did for her
while she was there. We are so happy and glad to give her a
home. Our whole family just loves her. She had a great
Christmas we will send some pictures when we get them sorted
through. Thanks again for all you have done. God bless.

"Cooper" |
| |
|
| |
Hi my name
is Cooper, a.k.a. Cliff. I was adopted into a loving family
back in June. I was welcomed into my home by three other
doggies. My brother Riley who's is lying next to me (in the
photo) is my favorite. He sometimes pats me on the head with
his paw and snuggles next to me on my bed at night time. I
have a sister Raven who is on this page as well, she tries
to shove me off my bed at night when I sleep, and I also
have another sister, her name is Athena, she's a lil'
crazy. We are all shelter dogs!
I guess my mommies love
adopting dogs, I dunno. I was kinda a tyrant when I got home
because I have separation anxiety, so I got into a lot of
things I shouldn't have when I was left along, I don’t
really like to be left alone much, especially in the
beginning. But now, I have a nice kennel to go into when my
owners are at work. My favorite day of the week is Sundays,
that is Pancake Day and boy oh boy do I love pancakes with
syrup! Some mornings I even get bacon.
I really do nothing else
too exciting because well, I just like to lie around. If
you are ever looking for me, you can find me next to my
mommy when she is sitting on the sofa, or I'm up on my bed
with all my stuffed animal friends, that I confiscate from
Athena. She won't miss them.
I am so happy to be adopted
and to be in a home where I can get the attention that I
need, kisses all the time and tons of stuffed animals.
Thanks CVAS for giving me a
loving and caring home.

"Lilly" |
| |
|
| |
“Lilly” is
wonderful and such a welcome addition to our home. She
really is everything we had hoped for when we decided to
adopt a cat. Lilly has a very sweet, affectionate nature,
loves to play, snuggle and sometimes seems content to just
lie and watch whatever we are doing.
Her favorite place is on
top of her “cat tree” she loves to sleep there and also look
out the window at all that is going on in the yard, birds,
chipmunks, squirrels all kinds of activity to keep an eye
on. She also knows that she will get her morning treat with
a brushing if she gets on her tree first thing in the
morning as my husband is getting ready to leave for work.
Lilly’s favorite toy is a
long furry tail with a fur ball on the end, she drags it all
over the house and she would love it if we would allow her
to have it on the bed at night, but that really doesn’t
work, its hard to sleep with her pouncing around. We love
Lilly and look forward to many years having her part of our
family.

"Rhea" |
| |
|
| |
CVAS
Friends: Rhea is adjusting perfectly to her new home. She is
chatty and affectionate and loves to lie in the sun in the
bay window and watch the birds. Her other favorite spot is
the bedroom window on the second floor where she can look
down into the backyard and watch the kids playing and making
all kinds of noise.
Rhea is exactly the kind of
cat we were looking for – loves a good scratch or brush,
sleeps and snuggles up to you on the recliner and ‘talks’ to
you when she wants your attention. She likes to play with
her toys and seems to think if the food bowl is not full,
life as we know it must come to a screeching halt – she
isn’t necessarily interested in eating, mind you, just wants
to be sure the food bowl is full.
Thanks CVAS for our new family member!

"Sam" |
| |
|
| |
Thank you
for allowing us to adopt Sam. He is really great and fun to
have around. He is curious and playful. He gets along with
all four dogs, Pixie, Bailey, Princess and Bear (big and
small). He likes to play the sneaking game and then smack
the other dogs around and they sit there wondering what just
happened to them. He will do that with us also. He is a very
funny kitten. He loves to look out the window and watch
everything go by. He likes to sunbathe and try to catch the
birds that fly by. He really likes to be around my husband
all the time. He is very curious about everything. He likes
to watch TV and even tries to attack the puppies through the
television.
Sammy has been a joy to
have around. He has gotten a lot more active since we got
him. He also enjoys eating bagels with cream cheese, but not
toast. He likes to sit behind whoever is at the computer and
will try to help you type. He sounds like a dog running up
and down the stairs. He really enjoys his new home with us.
Thank you for Sammy Joe.

"Riley and Raven" |
| |
|
| |
We just wanted to thank you for
allowing us to adopt "Colt 44", a couple of weeks ago.
His new name is Riley. He just is an absolute doll. His
adjustment into our home was just almost second nature
to him. Our other dog Raven is by his side non-stop. He
still gallops (or pounces) when he wants attention and
goes straight to the door to be left out. We have only
had a few minor accidents in the house, but that is all
natural considering he is still just a pup. We keep
wondering why he was ever dropped off at the shelter in
the manner he was but we are so thankful he has found
his way into our loving home...
As you can see by the photo he has
already made a new friend "Curious George" in the
background, albeit missing an eye after tugging on him
with Raven.
Thank you again...we absolutely
love him.

April and I would just like to say
thank you for bringing Jesse into our lives...You
couldn't want a better dog. My wife was not really sure
of what kind of dog we were getting. Boy did she get
surprised how well mannered Jesse is. He has adapted
well to his new home and is such a good boy. He has a
little sister Maggie who he loves to play with. He just
loves the kids and loves to go out in his fenced in yard
and run around and play. Again we would like to thank
you for bringing us and Jesse James together. Maggie
thanks you too!!
Thank You,

About a month ago I adopted Ritchie
from Petsmart in Carlisle. He was a bit scared at first,
but I wanted to let you all know he's doing
fantastic! Ritchie wasn't sure what to make of my dogs
at first, but they get along well now, and Ritchie LOVES
to play! He greets me in the morning in my bathroom and
we play with a ribbon while I get ready for work. He has
the cutest meow, a little high-pitched with a purr mixed
in. I've attatched a pic of him. Thank you for the
opportunity to have such a wonderful cat join my
family!!

Here are the latest photos of

shake hands (with both paws)." He's a delight at home.

Hi, I adopted Twister 2
weeks ago and she has adjusted very well in her new
home. Twister was not the least bit bothered by new
surroundings, it was as if she knew when she came in the
door she was home. I must say that Twister and her new
sister Pepper which is a Schnauzer make me laugh more
than any comedy show, the energy they have is
unbelievable. Both babies sleep in bed with me pushing
and shoving to make sure they are as close to me as
possible, it is a sight. I am really glad that I got the
call to come and get her, she is a very welcome addition
to the family and Pepper thinks so too. Thank you so
much.

Hi, I adopted Beau, now BunBun, on

favorite. All she needed was a loving home. I attached
a picture for you to see her now. Thanks for a
wonderful pet! Sincerely, Stacey

Ducky was adopted in
January of 2006 and Scotch came to her new home not long
after. Both were brought to the shelter taped in boxes (i.e.
Duct tape and Scotch tape) and that is how they were
named. They have adjusted well to us, our home and to each
other! They love to play together, but always take the time
to cuddle on the couch with us as well! They are a joy to
have and we can't thank you enough for allowing Ducky and
Scotch to be a part
of our family. |

"Petey" |
| |
|
| |
After visiting your
website and reading all the "Happy Tails" I decided to
send you my "happy 'Fluffy' tail."
I adopted 'Petey' in
January 2002. He was brought in by an elderly man with 3
other siblings. Petey was the only one that wasn't
adopted immediately. You see, he has only 1/2 a leg in
the back. When I came in, just to look and visit with
your cats, I looked at Petey and fell in love with
him! What a great big ball of fur he was! You told me I
could take him out and so I did and he started walking
around, what a shock to see him limping. You told me why
and that he was born that way. I asked for an
application...went home and got things ready...and 30
minutes later he was mine! You gave me an index card
that his "old" owner gave to you. It said that Petey
loves belly rubs, honey dew melon, and cantaloupe.
After 4 years, Petey
still loves all those things. What a great cat...I'm so
happy that he is mine and wouldn't have it any other
way! Thank you for all your help and thank you for all
you do for the cats and dogs. And by the way, I still
come in to visit your cats. I would have a house full
of them, if my husband would allow it!!

Hello,
We asked our new adopted mom to email you and let you know
how we are doing. We have both settled in very well. And so
excited we were chosen by our new owners. They are very
kind and loving "parents" to us. And look at the pictures
attached at the neat "play gym" our new adopted dad MADE for
us the very next day after they got us. Hope you like our
new names. Maybe you can feature our pictures on the page
for Adoption Feedback-Happy Tails because we are very happy
and so are our new owners. We are helping them get over
their pain of losing their 15 year old cocker (Duncan).
And, if we must say, are doing a good job. Thanks for
allowing "us" to adopt our new owners.

Ginji, the
orange tabby was adopted in July '05 and Miroku was adopted
in Jan '05. They are best friends and love to cuddle. Both
have made a wonderful addition to our house! |

"Dinah" |

Wanted to drop a
note, and say how glad we are that we got to adopt Dinah
last Saturday.
She has been such a joy to my husband and I, she is a
sweetie. She has
adjusted well, to the doggie door, which allows the dogs to
have run of the
house and big back fenced in yard.
We have renamed her official name to 'Dynamite', but still
call her 'Dyna.'
She was used to the name, we didn't want to change. All 3
dogs are getting
along. Dyna is so full of energy, the 2 labs watch her run
full tilt around
the yard.
Thanks again.

"Storm" |

Greetings everyone! I want you to
know we are enjoying Storm immensely and she has
settled well into her new home!
She is now crate trained and enjoys the few hours she
must be there each day. We live in the country and she
is enjoying our long walks on nice days and has a
favorite stuffed mouse toy she carries around the house
(see picture).
She is doing much better greeting
people in our home, but I crate her when people come to
my home office on business. She seems to do just fine
with that. Otherwise she has the run of the house and
prefers to lie on the cool tile in the kitchen and look
at the world through the dining room french doors.
She does really well with her
commands most of the time and we are pleased to benefit
from someone else's hard work in training her.
I highly recommend a book
we got off the internet called Sit, Stay, Fetch.
It addresses dog training,
correcting problems, and establishing alpha dog position
and much more. We have found it very helpful and
believe it could be a great reference for others
introducing a new dog into their home. We where very
happy to have the suggestions it had on dealing with
aggression! And it actually worked! (And no, I'm not
getting any money for referrals...it just was what we
needed!)
We also have used a 'gentle leader'
system that make walks wonderful as Storm heels so much
better with the gentle leader system than without it.
We are so thankful to have Storm as
a member of our family! The cat is even getting used to
her now! This weekend Storm will get to meet our other
son who is coming home from college. I'm sure that will
go well. Attached is a picture of the happy girl!
Thanks so much,
Bonnie
