Hooray for Adoptions!

Happy Saturday, everyone!
Its been pretty busy today here at the shelter, but thanks to Joanne and Nicole for "holding it down." Also, a very special thank you to Nicole for taking Old Spud to Roanoke to his rescue transport this morning--THANK YOU NICOLE!!!!

As for some even BETTER news....the man who came in numerous times this week decided that Taylor wasn't the best fit for him. However, Amy evidently is...and so she went home with her new approved adopted family today! I can just imagine her living it up in her new window seat they had all ready for her. I know cats can't read, but Amy, we will miss you and your beautiful demeanor, just the same.

Also- the last of Allie's puppies (Brewski and Brey) also went to their new home today. And their new "human mom" as we will call her is trying to convince her husband to adopt Allie as well. She was very impressed that she's housebroken and also how calm and collect she is for a mother of 6! I'm only a mother of one, so yes- hats of to you, Allie! :)

We are actively trying to get Ranger, the abuse case Rottie off to a rescue. He is such a snuggle bug-he would make a perfect pet for just about anyone willing to give him love. So keep your fingers crossed for him.

Joanne already seems to have made an incredible recovery as she was here today in full swing as she always does during her volunteer hours. I wonder if she knows how much she's appreciated? Maybe we should all take a few minutes out of our day the next time we see her to tell her so!

And saving the best news for last- Imogene, you are indeed a trooper. She is scheduled to be returning home early this coming week from John Hopkins and by the time she or her husband reads this, she will already have been discharged from the hospital. Not that it is suprising, but apparently being a remarkable woman goes hand-in-hand with having a fast and remarkable recovery. Imogene- you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers- and it seems to be the case now to pray for your safe return home as well. We will see you soon!

To everyone else, have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
See you all Monday!

We're all sooooo glad Imogene and Joanne are both recovering so fast.

Imogene you have been missed and in our thoughts and it's great that you'll be home soon.

Thanks to Dennis for keeping us all in the loop regarding Imogene's recovery. You're both very courageous.

Keely I wondered if the man who adopted Sanford would even consider adopting Ranger. He has experience with the breed and would make a great pet owner. With plenty of time to devote to him.
