We adopted our wonderful Willie on Jan 24, 2011 and renamed him Cooper.

We drove 600 miles thru a snowstorm to get to him.  He was so carsick on the long ride back home and we had to stop many times to tend to him.  We formed a bond with him before we ever arrived back home.  He loved to run and play on our 60 rural acres and loved our horses, although he was not so fond of our barn cats!

I wanted to let you know that our Cooper passed away yesterday.  We had the privilege of having our beautiful boy Cooper being a much loved member of our family for close to 14 years and he will be missed immensely.

While our hearts hurt deeply, we have such wonderful memories to lean on.  There was never a better boy than our Cooper.  He was always in charge, loved sleeping in our bed and crowding us out and he was such a great protector for us all.

Thank you for allowing us to adopt such a special and wonderful boy.

With Love,

Joyce Gray & family

Hi Guys – I just wanted to give everyone an update on Charles since everyone seemed to love him, we are lucky enough to start seeing why! He is such a great boy.   

Our first day was a little over whelming for Charles, he was nervous and a little scared but after a lot of love we have gotten him to let his guard down and he can finally catch-up on some sleep! (See below)   

So far, he has really been enjoying getting belly rubs and going on walks outside in the snow (going down stairs was a bit of a shock to him but after a couple days he’s a pro!).. this morning was the first day he wandered out of the room he’s been hanging out in all on his own, it was very exciting for us all and we shared a spoonful of peanut butter to celebrate his bravery afterward.  

He seems to really warming up to us quickly and is such a sweet boy, with a little bit of a wild side (likes chewing remotes haha) but we think he will be just fine! Thank you all immensely we are forever grateful!!!   

Charles says he misses you all and by the way, he is going by Tully now.    Breanne & Aaron 

Hi,

My husband and I adopted Trout (we’ve renamed her Rebel) 1/2/2020 and we wanted to let you know she’s doing great.
As you can see from the picture, she’s relaxed into her new home. She was scared at first, but now she’s claimed it as her own and actually become quite the watchdog – alerting us if anyone sets foot on HER property.
She’s put on a little weight so she’s not so skinny, and enjoys accompanying us hiking and snowshoeing on our trails every day.
She sleeps through the night in her crate in our bedroom at night with the door open, and is working on being comfortable with the door closed for brief periods.
She went to the groomer last week and we were told she behaved herself very well. And she looked quite glamorous after her blowout!
We thank you for all you did for her, and believe she will have a happy life in her forever home.

Hello everyone at the Humane Society of Marathon County. I am writing to give you an update on Walker. We adopted him in September and I am happy to report that he has settled in well to our happy home in the country. 

When we adopted him, we didn’t like the name Walker and he didn’t respond to it very well, so we renamed him Charlie. This name fits him much better and he now knows that it’s his name. Charlie looks at us when we call him and will come when he is in the house. He is taking lessons at Petco and he now knows several commands. He is learning how to loose leash walk, how to stay, and how to leave it. Charlie has a big yard to play in where he can chase his ball and any unfortunate mice that come along. Cats, you could learn some lessons from Charlie!

Charlie also likes to ride in the car, especially to his favorite place – the dog park! Charlie loves to run, run, run and he loves to meet other dogs. He is very friendly with the other dogs and always tries to play. 

Here is a picture of Charlie with his new best buddy, Tim. Charlie is now 10 months old and his grown up fur is growing in, so he is a little bit darker than he was, but everyone still says he looks like a fox. We hope that Charlie will be a part of our family for a long time to come!

Hello everyone! 

I recently adopted Hocus on Thursday July 23rd and I wanted to give you all an update! He is doing wonderful in our apartment with us and we are now able to pet him without him running away or being super scared. He loves his but rubbed just above his tail lol. He is eating and staying hydrated as well and is not showing any signs of distress. He absolutely loves being perched in the window and looking outside too.  

My other cat, Booper, has adjusted well to the additional family member. There was some conflict at first but they resolved it and seem to like each other now.  I have some photos of Hocus attached. He still doesn’t allow us to pick him up, but I’m sure it will happen eventually.

Once I am able to hold him, I will send another message so you can update your pages with an “adoption photo”.  Thank you all so much for allowing me to welcome Hocus into my life and for saving him from the life he might have had.
