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. 

Hello all,

I adopted Tilly back in December and today is her first birthday! I attached some photos of her enjoying her PB doggy birthday cake and new squeaky toy! She has given me 7 months of high energy fun! 

Zoey and Chloe, formerly Soda and Swift, have settled in nicely and quickly became apart of our family. They enjoy playing and napping together.

Cooper turns 10 today & is still healthy as a puppy. Getting a bit of gray under his chin which makes him look so handsome. We adopted him from your facility in Jan 2010 and we love him so very much.
Sincerely,
Joyce Gray & Cooper
