Adopted!

Tallahassee chillin' in his condo at WARL.  Click on the video.  What a love.  Enjoy your forever home, big guy!!
It's hard NOT to have a favorite animal when you work in an animal shelter.  Different shelter staff have different strategies.   I find it easiest  to focus on ONE  shelter animal at a time.  Most recently my love interest was Tallahassee.   If I had an opening in my house, he definitely would have filled it.  But, imagine adopting every animal who you fall head over heals for, it can't be done.  It's not realistic.  Even so, this guy was really making it hard not to fill out the adoption application.  Lucky for him, his forever family did fill out the application.   Tallahassee left the shelter on Friday and by Sunday I had  received a report.  ...We’re finding him to be curious, loving, goofy, and wonderful company. He spent most of the first night under the bed, then last night was busy lounging on a bookshelf, whacking the window blinds, and doing biscuits at length on me. He also has shown a playful side, chasing a wand mouse toy and grooming/killing a furry bunny..., wrote his adopter.  And, that update confirmed that the big snuggler is right where he belongs!

Two in a Row -- Another Happy Ending

You would think that when a dog goes home, the last thing on the adopter's mind is reporting back to the League.  Not so with Toucan's new person.  She sent an update, complete with pictures, 24 hours after "Touk's"   homecoming.   The photos  definitely show forever-home, especially this one with Toucan's bed front and center.
What a great dog this is. Your team has done a fantastic job at training her. She's got such a nice personality.  She seems very comfortable already... She is happy to play, but is also relaxed. It is surprising to me, how quickly she has taken to all of us.  She acts like "finally, guys! you finally showed up to get me! now let's get this thing going!!"

Jubilee Adopted Too!

It was a great week at the League.  Little Jubilee, the kitten with the misshapen leg, was adopted.   She has never given a second thought to her leg -- she romps,climbs and jumps at full speed.  She loves to play AND she went home with another kitten.  I hope her forever home sends progress reports!
