Hello all at CARA,

Cotto (Falafel) is absolutely wonderful. He had his first vet visit with me on Tuesday, and everything is fine and he's UTD with his shots. His last puppy shots will be on Feb 18 along with his rabies shot, and he'll get neutered the week before. You'll be receiving my paper requesting the neuter deposit back soon. Thank you for the wonderful addition to our family!!!!!!!!

-God Bless,
Stephanie

CARA,

Linus is doing great. He is getting HUGE and is an absolute sweet heart. All is well with him and our family.

Thank you once again!

CARA,

Zack is now Marley and he is a sweet and loving dog. Very mellow for a puppy and very happy.

We love him a whole lot.

Thanks, Kathleen

CARA,

Tramp is doing fine. He and our boxer Jack have become very close. If only I could break him from diggin up the yard he;d be perfect. Any ideas? Well glad to hear from y'all and hope you have a happy new year.

Michael

CARA,

When we picked Stella up you said it might take about two weeks for her to settle in. Fortunately it only took about two hours for her to start acting like she was at home so I take that as a good sign that she is happy with her new home.

CARA,

Quinn is doing really well. She and my dog Sadie play with each other all the time and when they get tired out they lay down together. Both sleep with me on the bed at night with Quinn cuddled between Sadie's, a year old golden retriever, paws. It is a lot of fun having her around.

Barbara

CARA,

Everything is fine. Arin/Marcus is everything we thought he would be!

John

CARA,

We're doing fine and she seems to be settling in with her new MOM. :) She has gotten a clean bill of health from my Vet and had her first Christmas....which I think really was her first experience with a tree, presents and festivities. LOL. I still have to watch her around other dogs, small and large, and will probably have to accept the fact that this is just her. My other "child" was not very social either so I can handle that. Jojo does seems to be ok around cats but not other canines. Thanks for checking on us.

Sincerly, Sue

CARA,

Morgan, (Suki) is doing great! She is a bundle of play and joy. Loves her new home and we love her. Took her to vet for other shot and shes doing fine. Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt her. She's full of energy!
Thank you for what you do!

Brenda

CARA,

Sonya or as she is now known...Cocoa is just great! She is such a perfect fit with our family....she's not shy and just plops herself on anyone that happens to be sitting or lying down. She's got the loudest purr that I've ever heard and seems to be gaining weight . We'll know this weekend with her vet appointment..this is her second vet visit and last time they said she was healthy except for some tape worms that they gave her medicine for...no evidence since immediately after so I think she's all clear. thank you for the opportunity to give her a loving home. We love her so much!

Stormie

Hello all,

I just wanted to touch base with all interested on Dickens' progress since we brought him home Sunday, Jan.4th. Fist of all he has grown already! He has fit so well and so immediately into our family and we are thrilled to have him! He is now called Tucker and keeps our whole family, including the other pets very busy. Our dog Aldo was tolerant at first, but now seems to enjoy laying. Because Aldo outweighs Tucker by about 70 pounds, they are always supervised. Aldo often sits on Tucker to signal that he has had enough! Tucker is also getting along with our cat fairly well. When they are in close proximity, Tucker keeps a respectful distance. Jinx the cat has not gone into hiding which is a good sign from him that all is, or will be, well. Tucker is a great dog! He has only had a few accidents, mostly due to recent bad weather. He likes his crate and is quiet at night. My boys love him to pieces and have both proven to be responsible pet owners as we frequently have to tag-team Tucker's supervision so he does not get into trouble around the house. We can't get enough of him! He has even been traveling daily in the car to and from school and seems to enjoy it. I just thought you might like to know what a happy life he now has and how happy he makes us all in return. Thanks so much for all your good work!

Connie

CARA,

Thanks for touching base. I spoke to Nancy about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I let her know that Tony went to our vet and got a clean bill of health. He is doing well. He's become much more puppy-like and is apparently considerably younger than the 4 yrs old that your vet estimated. He has been chewing up things in our home so I need to crate him while I am not home.
He is a sweet boy and we love him. Thanks for saving him.

Priscilla

CARA,

We are all doing very well. Thank you for checking in with us. Maddie (ie Carolina) is wonderful. She has adjusted so well to her new home and family; and we have adjusted very well to her. She is very much a part of our family now. We love her dearly!

Thank you,
Megan

CARA,

Thank you to everyone! Your support made the adoption of Star (now Zoë) a wonderful experience. Zoë is resting at my side as she has recently returned from her spay appointment. I also had her check up today and she has a microchip. Dr. Myres suspects she will be a medium sized dog and that she is a multiple mixture. She is a blessing as have been all the wonderful workers and volunteers at CARA.

Update 10-Feb:
Hi Jean,Zoe (AKA Star) has lived up to my expectations. She is a great companion and a sweet dog. Rare occasional puppy issues seem to be resolved quickly as she likes to please. We will begin Bon Clyde's puppy class on Feb 23rd.

Thanks again,
Brad

Hello all at CARA,

We just wanted to let you know that Pearl is still doing very well! She's wild and crazy and comes whenever she hears my voice. She's still shy around strangers, but she's definitely 'talkative' and wakes us up every morning to be fed when she is ready.
Hopefully, we'll be looking for a kitten friend for Pearl sometime in late summer!! :)

-Thanks, Erica (& Tom)

CARA,

Bruno (the puppy formerly known as Schnitzel ;) is doing great. He's definitely full of energy and loves meeting people. The potty training is going very well -- he's just about 90% on the newspaper and he usually makes it all through the night. There's a few puppy issues such as biting and snapping, but we're making every attempt to ignore that and reward his good behaviors, which are many. He's had a vet checkup, who says he's very healthy, and his final shots and rabies shot will be taken care of in the next few weeks.
Overall, we're very happy to have such a lovable addition to our small family. Thanks to you all at CARA for making this process so smooth.
If you've got any other questions, just let me know.

Thanks again,
Dave and Laura Krnavek

CARA,

Haley is now named Pickles, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. Our two oldest cats ignore her, but our two-year old male cat plays with her all the time. He has also taken to pinning her down and grooming her, which she seems to enjoy. She is incredibly active, and has several favorite stuffed animals that she takes out of my daughters' rooms and carries around the house with her, much like a dog. She is a very affectionate cat, and we couldn't be more happier with her!

Yvonne

Hello CARA friends,

Cosmo is doing wonderfully. He has acclimated to our home and loves to run and play. He "flies" around the house. Cosmo is a real joy and we're very happy to be his new mom and dad.

Ellie

CARA,

Phoenix who's name is now Sploshes because of his markings on his face, paw, leg, & chest is doing well. We took him to the vet for his check up & everything was fine. He is being your typical baby (kitten) into everything & exploring every crook & cranny in the house. He loves to play & continually follows us around around the house. He is so afraid he is going to miss something. He adjusted quickly & extremely well to his new surroundings & we can sure tell he is happy. He is a very loving boy most of the time & a great addition to our family. Thank you so much for helping us.

Cathy Terry, & Sploshes

CARA,

"Riley" who has been renamed to Jasper is doing great. He is growing up to be a big, strong, and healthy puppy. He enjoys playing outside and taking walks in the neighborhood. He had a blast in the snow when we got those few inches 2 weeks ago. I also took him to the vet a couple of weeks ago for his physical and everything was good. He has an appointment tomorrow for his last booster shot. Thank you for checking up on him!

Sincerely, Shannon

CARA,

Claudia/Matea is doing great! She has adapted well. She was seen by the vet, and she is very healthy. We are enjoying having her in our home. My daughters just love her as well. She is gradually getting closer to us. She sleeps on our daughter's bed and she started crawling in my lap to snuggle! Thank you for taking such good care of her before we were ready to add another member to our family!

Cathie

CARA,

We have renamed Gloria to Kara, just changed the c to a k, so we will always remember where we got our beautiful girl. She is full of energy and loves our shepard/collie mix, Buddy. Buddy is great with his new little sister and they are always together she sleeps next to him and follows him everywhere. Kara is growing long legs and soon will be able to keep with Buddy while they chase each other around the back yard. Kara did well after she surgery to be spayed with litle effect on her running abilities. Thank you for her.

Ann

CARA,

Crystal is no longer Crystal since she is really a boy. We have named him Quinn. He has gained a pound as of last Friday. He eats well. We go back in two weeks for his first rabies shot. We love having him as part of our family.

Pam

CARA,

Milkshake-now known as Boomer-is doing great. He had his check up this week and Dr. Cindy at All Animals said he is in great shape. The children love him and he loves the children. He seems to be very smart and is already getting the hang of being house trained.

Thanks, Page.

CARA,

Just wanted to send you some photos of Lily. She is an excellent companion for us and our other dog. She is extremely intelligent, knows all of her basic commands and likes nothing better than long walks or tearing around the yard!

Laura

CARA,

Miss Priss is ruling her domain. She is the sweetest cat ever! My mom-in-law loves her. Priss is a lap cat which is so good for Mom. They sit together in the glider for hours at a time. I took Priss to see Dr. Myres today to get her booster shot. He checked her out and says she is very healthy. She was so good at the doc's office, unlike my other cat who absolutely hates going to the doc! I think I'll get Priss to teach Pook some manners! Anyway, she is Purr-fect! We love her. My husband adores her. She has found some favorite spots in the house for curling up for naps and some spots for "profiling," as my husband calls it when she strectches out and rolls over on the carpet. Thanks for providing us with a lovable family member.

Love, Grader's family

CARA,

Brock and Isaac are doing great. They have adapted well to their new home and our kids absolutely love them.

Jeff

CARA,

Chester is doing great. He's really bonded to me and likes having a room all to himself. He's actually trying to help me type this e-mail at this very moment by batting at the keyboard (lol). It even looks like he may be starting to lose a little weight. We've coaxed him into spending a little bit of time outside to watch birds, and he seems to really enjoy it even though he never goes more than five feet from the door. We really love having him around, and after the past couple of weeks, I'm pretty sure he's loving being here. Thank you all so much for helping us find a wonderful pet. I hope you all have continued success in your ventures.

Sincerely,Alissa

Hello,

George is doing wonderfully. He enjoys going to the dog park on the weekends. However, he is very disappointed that they covered up his mud hole. He has a slight seperation anxiety problem when left alone and shreds things but we are working on it and he has gotten better. He has learned how to sit, lay, shake and is working on rolling over. Stay, however, is not a strong point. He is experimenting with the idea of swimming but he thinks it is still too cold. Plus, he isn't fond of the ducks being in his pond. We are very happy with him and glad to be able to provide this smart dog with a good home.

Take Care, Charles

CARA,

She is doing so well! She has gained a little weight because she loves wet food and begs for it every time I go to the pantry. She also loves the view from the windowsill and has made that her new spot.

Thank for checking in, Leslie

CARA,

Faith is doing great!!!!She has adjusted wonderful with my other cat,Runt. They are 2 of a kind togather.I have pictures,i just need to get them off my memory card & bring some to you. Hope to be able to help again.

CARA,

Laney is doing just fine. I love her so much. She is a joy to have. I Spoil her. She is every smart little dog. I am thankful to have her.

Thanks Again, Essie Clark

CARA,

Cara, formerly Coretta, is doing well. She did have a reaction to the internal sutures from her spaying. She is currently on medication for it and the incision site looks much better. She is a very sweet dog and it's hard to believe that someone gave her up. We are really enjoying her. She loves our cat and our cat is learning to like her.

Thanks for the follow up, Lori

Update 9-Jun-08: Cara (formerly Coretta) is doing wonderful. We are really enjoying her. She has the most expressive face of any dog I've seen.

CARA,

We are ok. Thank you for asking. Zagnut is quite fine. She plays with my daughter and wakes everyone in the morning. It seemed to me she even gained some weight. I think she likes to be with us.

Have a great day, Oleg.

Hi, Nala is doing beautifully. She is already the rule of the house, follows Luke and I from room to room, ready to play with anything and anyone that moves. Uses her litter pan, eats well and has already grown a lot. We love her a bunch. Flora

We all are doing geat! Oliver is having so much fun, and we are enjoying having him.

Thanks

Bingo is doing great! He is quite a character and we enjoy his antics - He is getting along with our dogs and the kids love him!
