Happy Adoptions
Yo!
This is Sasha Doiron-McGrath, formerly known as "Sushi". I'm a blue point Siamese cat who is getting along swimmingly in my new home with my Mom,
Dad and sister Missy. I was adopted on Dec.15 2009, from then I was taken to my lovely new home in Downtown Charlottetown. Missy and I play together
all day long (I'm usually the initiator) or you can find me sleeping on my favourite warm heater. I'm a lot bigger than I was when I was at the
Humane Society but that's just because the food here is amazing. I love my new family and my new home! I'm so happy! Thanks so much to the Humane
Society for putting up with me while I was there! Love and miss you all!

Hello!
I left the shelter in November 2009 as Cookie, and I am now Herriot, after the famous James Herriot. I spend my days beating up my big sisters,
chasing my toys, getting in trouble, and attacking Mom's feet under the covers. I am loving life and now I am off to play!
Herriot is doing very well as you can see in these pictures.
Enjoy!

I just wanted to write and let you know how well our kitties are doing. Formally JD (black and white) is now "Cricket" and Cola(
orange) now Patton. They took about 1 hour to warm up to everything and feel at home. Cricket and Patton both are very much water cats, even though
they have very different personalities. They love to play in it, and frequently play in the tub, water or no water. They get along Great!, and get
along Great with us. They wait by the door when they hear us come home, waiting for hugs, and loving. Both are also talkers. If I speak to them,
they talk back. We took they home to Cape Breton at Christmas break, and loved it there also, even the dog. These guys are spoiled rotten,..toys...toys...and
more toys, and a cat tree, and tunnels....
I am happy I decided to adopt, and they worked out great, we love them and thank you.

Good afternoon,
I am just writing a note to give you an update on Foxy, the kitten I adopted on Jan 20th. Foxy is doing great. She seems to be over her cold and
loving her new home. She is fitting in with her new 'friends', although they are quick to let her know when she is getting too frisky! Tomorrow
Foxy will have a check up and her boosters at the Summerside Animal Hospital. Thank you for the opportunity to adopt an amazing kitten; the work
you guys do is wonderful!
Thank you again

Hi everyone at the PEI Humane Society,
I just wanted to send you some pictures of me and my new family. My Mom (Cindy), Dad (Jim) my new brother ( Oscar) and
Godfather (Terry) have welcomed me into their home and made me part of their lives and we had a wonderful first Christmas. I love playing with Oscar
and I have sent some pictures of him and I so you can see how much we look alike. I wanted to thank you for taking such good care of me when I
lived with all of you. On behalf of me and my new family........thank-you for keeping me until my Dad came and got me. I'll send some new pictures
as I get a little bit bigger (I'll never get to be as big as my brother, Oscar).
Keep up the great work and a very Happy New Year to all the staff at the PEI Humane Society.
Love and scratches,
Peppermint, Oscar, Cindy ,Jim and Uncle Terry.

Hi,
This is Bear, his name was Bruce and we got him in October. He adapted well to the cats and our home. He is a great dog and couldn't have
picked any better. He loves to play outside, go for walks and drives, and taking over our bed.
Thanks Robin, Nigel, and Bear

Hi everyone : Here's a couple pf photos of our dear little puppy. She used to be Willie, however she seemed more ladylike than
that, so now we call her Gracie. She's doing just wonderful, growing , very, very happy and a perfect new addition to our family. We have an
appointment on Monday with the vet for her next check-up. Thanks for all your help in making this happen, you guys are doing a terrific job, pat
yourselves on the back. Take care.

Hi, We adopted Briggs the first of January. He had spent a month at the Humane Society and when we met him, we couldn't leave him
there any longer. It took him a while to adjust to his new home. As you can see, he is starting to settle in well. He is very timid at times and
doesn't really like to be cuddled. He just likes to sit and look pretty. Thank you to all the nice people at the shelter. We are enjoying him so
far!

Hi
We adopted "Prima" in October and she instantly became a loving member of our family. She is a beagle, terrier mix but we're not so sure about that
now that she's gotten much bigger. Our daughters adore her and she adores them. When the time comes for them to come home from school she's already
learned to sit by the door waiting for them to come home. Then when they do get home, they are instantly covered in kisses and so is she. She loves
everyone who comes into our house and has made fast friends. I am so grateful we waited to adopt a dog because then we wouldn't have gotten Prima.
She is the PERFECT dog. Thank you to whoever dropped her Mom off at the humane society because now all the puppies must have loving homes and if
those other puppies are half as loved and adored as Prima is they will be happy dogs.
Happy Adoption Prima
Just wanted to pass along another 'Thanks!' to the PEI Humane Society. We adopted our second dog from them recently and our family
is now complete. Our children loved watching the PEIHS website, seeing which dogs were coming and going and waiting patiently (remarkably) for a dog
that 'fit' our family. Misty (formerly Cinderella) is a high energy, spirited two month old pug/beagle mix who has become fast friends with our now
almost 7mth old Border Collie mix Boss. They are already inseparable from sun up to sun down and Boss is teaching his young pack mate all that he
knows (which at this time is to sit for treats, where to pee and how to play. Thanks again to everyone at the Humane Society.

Hello,
We have just celebrated our 'dogiversary' with Bones - the year has flown by since we got him! Julia (in photo with Bones this past Christmas)
decided that we would keep his name that we adopted him with.
He settled in with us very well. Bones is smart and easy to train. He loves being part of our family and we are thrilled to have him with us. We
live near the beach so spend a lot of time there with him. He loves running along the beach and playing fetch. Bones loves to cuddle and is very
social. Thanks for taking such good care of him while he was with you.

My family and I adopted 'Bugsy' now Juliet in 2009. She was timid and crazy at first but she quickly settled in. She enjoys
bothering our old 17 year old cat, Tigger but since she's been home, Tigger's been a little more lively! We have two dogs as well and Juliet ignores
them most of the time but there's no such luck with our poor little rabbit, Blueberry. Juliet likes to climb on top of the rabbit cage just to say
'Hello' to Blueberry and every so often she likes to reach inside of the cage 'pet' him. Its been great fun having Juliet in the house and we look
forward to many more years spent with her!
Happy Adoption Juliet
Hello, you may remember me as Hailey. I was only with you for a short while before being adopted. My new home is great, and my new
name is Eve. My brother, Smokey, met with two other humane society kittens before he finally (and thankfully) chose me. It was a long search for my
forever home, but I feel as if I was well worth it!
I came home in the afternoon and my brother was cautious but curious about me, as to be expected, but he wouldn't let me out of his sight! After
only about 36 hours, we were best friends and love to cuddle up where ever we please together. It was mine as well as Smokey's (who was adopted
from the Summerside Animal Hospital after being badly burned in a barn fire and cared for by the generous staff in Summerside) first Christmas with
our new home but it feels like we've been together forever! We both got tons of new toys, balls, and a new scratching post!
We were definitely meant to be, and we are all so happy together. I love watching the crows out the window, and I've even climbed the curtain a
time or two! I like to get into everything, and occasionally wind up in some unusual situations! I am so glad to found the perfect forever home!

Hi, we just wanted to send some pictures and give you an update on Willow. We adopted Willow from the PEI
Humane Society on December 19th 2009. Willow was scared and nervous at first but we notice changes in her every day and she is really starting
to feel like she is home. She has become fast friends with our other dogs....especially our other beagle - they romp and play together all the
time.
She is a sweet sweet dog and has won her way into all of our hearts. She loves going for walks and will do almost
anything for a Timbit!!! Willow has been a gift to our family and we want to thank you for bringing her into our lives!! We have attached some
photos of Willow with her new siblings!!

Greetings to all the nice folk at the shelter from Bounce I was the 12th stray of Christmas for 2008 and no one had chosen me for
the longest time. Then, in January 2009, along came the POWELLS who took me home. I have been with them for a full year now and you can see by the
photo there is no one higher in this house.
Happy new year to you all.

Thanks to all the nice folk at the Shelter and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Hello to everyone at the PEI Humane Society:
I've been inspired by your "Happy Adoption" page to send you all an update on "Jerry" (now Declan) who was adopted nearly 2 years ago. As
you can see in the pictures, he (and his brother Seamus) are living the good life here in New Brunswick! Declan is approaching 20lbs, is nearly 2
feet long....and even has his own chair at the table. I hadn't even seen Declan when I went looking for a cat, until he reached out and grabbed me
on my way by-- and it was love at first sight!
Thanks so much for this important little addition to our family!!

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that eve is doing great. Our children were very excited when they came home from school that day as we kept Eve's
arrival a secret. Eve and our cat Oreo (who was found in the garbage truck) have adjusted very well with each other and seem to
choose to ignore each other most of the time. Eve likes to play in the snow and go for rides with Dad in the truck. I am sending along some of the
Christmas pictures we tried to take of the both of them. Oreo of course is used to it so he just posed but Eve was a challenge. Hope you like
them. Thank you very much for Eve we love her so much.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.

Woof!
My name is Maddie,
but you might remember me as Maggie. I was adopted by my Forever Mom, Wendy, on September 12, 2009 and we’re doing great here in Massachusetts!
She says I’m a little too energetic sometimes, but I’m trying to calm down, I promise… I keep reminding Mom that I’m still learning. After all, I
am a black lab and I just turned 2 on November 23rd. I think I heard that black labs are in the “puppy stage” until age 3 or 4,
so I have some time before I have to settle down. Besides, I spent so much time in the shelter that sometimes I forget that inside the
house, I have to use my “Indoor Manners”. The good news is that I haven’t had one “accident” in the house, not one! And I haven’t chewed up
anything, either!
I do get a bit too rambunctious sometimes
and Mom gets mad at me, but I know it’s because she loves me and doesn’t want me to get hurt. An example of this is the day she yelled at me
really, really loud!!! I didn’t realize that the 5 foot fence I was trying to jump over at a friend’s house was way too close to a busy street and
I really scared Mom. She didn’t think I could jump over the fence, but I used to practice all the time at the shelter and I got really good at it!
I would have made it over that fence, but Mom scared me when she yelled and I stopped in mid-jump and landed inside the fenced area! I guess that’s
why I’m never allowed off my leash anymore…ever… even in a fenced yard… We take
a rope to the beach and the park and I can run out about 40 feet on that, but that’s it. Mom said she loves me too much to let me get into any more
trouble and I’m glad about that.
Mom’s best friend is
Jill and she travelled all the way to PEI with Mom to adopt me. Jill has lots of little dogs called Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Most of them
are ok, but some of her rescued foster dogs bark at me and I don’t like that, so I try to ignore them. I still don’t like cats...actually I hate
cats! Our next door neighbor has 2 of them and I practically pull Mom off the steps every time I see them in the yard. I know Mom wanted to get a
cat someday, but not while I’m around…I’ll make sure of that! I waited a long time for my forever home and I’m not willing to share it….at least
not right now…
I hear Mom coming to
feed me my supper, so I’ll end now. I hope all of you nice people and the furry friends I left behind are doing well. I want to wish all of you a
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a wonderful holiday season. I hope all of your wishes and dreams come true like mine did!
Your Forever Friend,
Maddie aka: Maggie
P.S. ~ Mom wanted me to thank all of you for letting us become a family. She says we were destined to be together, whatever that means. All I know
is that I’m really, really happy now and I know I’m a lucky dog. Thanks again!!! We’re hoping to visit PEI next summer, so we’ll be sure to stop in
to say “Woof” and “Hello” to everyone!

Hi There,
This is Coady my dog who I adopted from the PEI Humane Society. We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year and
all the best in 2010. We had fun playing in the snow (he's awesome at staying in his own yard) and now he's having a well deserved sit/rest.
Happy Holidays!

We thought you'd enjoy our annual Christmas message from PEIHS grad "Maud", adopted in November, 2004.
Dear Friends at the PEI Humane Society,
It's me again, your old buddy Maud. Some of you may not remember me. I was the scruffy kitty
who spent a long, long time in a cage in the corner of the cat room. It got to be a bit tiresome after a while, so my friend Kelly and I cooked up
a plan. Kelly would convince some sap... er, I mean nice lady... to just hold me for a minute. The lady said she didn't want a long-haired cat.
but I got to work on her! I pretended to be a love-bunny, the kind of cat who likes nothing more than to be patted and who loves to be
affectionate.
And it worked. The lady took me to my new palace... er, I mean home... and I now spend happy
days ignoring her completely. Well, unless I want something of course. THEN she hears about it.
I
have now trained both female and male staff to do my bidding at all times. Male staff gets up every morning at 6:00 am because I simply cannot
tolerate a bowl of food that hasn't been touched. Then female staff gets up a little later and we play a little game I like called "Let Me In, Let
Me Out." They seem to think this is funny. I think it's serious business and I work hard each and every day to make sure they know their place.
Now sometimes I do give in and allow them to pat me. And, if I'm in the mood, I might even sit
on their laps and purr a little bit. I mean, you can't expect staff to work for no reward, can you?
My current favourite thing is to watch what staff calls "Maud TV". I sit on the back of the
couch where I can see out the window and am happily entertained by a program called "The Crow Show". It's very exciting. Have you ever seen it?
Even though that cage was not the best place for me, I am very glad you let me live there such a long time. Because now, really, I have the best
life ever.
Merry Christmas
- Maud
Hi! Everyone
I'm getting along really well at my new home. The first thing my masters did was to change my name to Mona. Apparently all their animals names
start with "M". The other cats name is Monday and the dog's name is Metu. They are really nice to me. Monday wants me to make sure I know he is
still the boss and Metu is so cute. She's smaller than me. At night I
find it very quiet. I decided to find the Halloween treat bags. They have little chip bags that I like to try an open. I woke some of my masters
up. I think they really liked that because they came and said something to me. I'm not sure what they said but I'm sure it was good. The woman
master was really happy when I was helping her pick jewellery out of her jewellery box. I don't know if she wore the stuff I flung on to the floor
but she looked nice anyway. I really like my litter box. It seemed a shame that the litter was all in the box so I figured I'd kick half of it out
on to the floor. I thought that looked much better. When my master was on her hands and knees cleaning it I thought I'd help by standing on her
back. She must of really liked that because she called the others to come and look. Well that's all for now. I'll keep in touch.
Love
Mona aka "Dusty"

Hi,
We wanted to send along a couple photos for your Happy Adoption page.
We adopted Boss on November 7th and he quickly became part of the family. He is bright, cuddly, energetic and a quick learner. We want to thank the
folks at the PEI Humane Society for our happy adoption. The services they provide for the pets they are hoping to find families for are above and
beyond the call of duty. We were impressed with their website and drawn in by the fact that it was updated often. We look forward to playing at the
dog park!

Dear PEI Humane Society:
Thank you for giving me a chance to adopt Nissa. She is doing very well in our home. She is a very loving and energetic dog that can
be a little mischievous at times but it's fun because it always give us something to do. Here are just a few pictures that we took recently. Thank
you again for this happy adoption.

Our Happy Adoption story;
My husband were married in 2005 and we both wanted a dog but knew we should wait till we had our own home with a good size yard. I
brought 3 cats with me to our marriage. Sadly 2 of them have since passed away though they had lived long happy lives. In December 2008 we felt we
were ready to add a dog to our family. On the 16th of that month we adopted Bo, a 2 year old, boxer/staffordshire bull terrier mix. He has been a
joy in our home. He's very active, lovable and fun. Just a few months later we decided to adopt a cat as well and on March 5 of this year we adopted
Caroline who we now call Angie, a 5 month old, who is a sweetie and very smart! Bo and Angie have become fast friends and people are surprised at
how well they play together. We can't imagine our home without them.

Hi,
I thought I would give you an update on Maggie (Evangelina), who I adopted from the Charlottetown PEI Humane Society in February. Maggie is doing
great and continues to be a happy, energetic dog. We've been busy with agility classes, going for long walks, making visits to the Charlottetown dog
park and going on hikes. I'm very glad that I adopted her! Thanks again for everything!

Hey there!
I just wanted to send along some new pictures of the kitties that we adopted in May.
They are both so much at home with us. Callie (Trixie) has adjusted very well. She can be quite social at times. She loves spending time on
the deck soaking up the sun. Oliver likes to play with the water in the bathroom sink, he likes outside as long as it isn't windy. They are
never too far apart from each other, they are so sweet!
Enjoy the pictures!

Dear PEI Humane Society,
We are very happy to say that Mamadu is doing great! Our dog, Studel, who we adopted in January from the PEI Humane Society has found

is it!
Thanks so much. Nick, Danielle, Strudel and Mamadu.

Of the things that we promised each other with our move to PEI, from downtown Toronto, was the opportunity to finally adopt a dog.
In the long drive East, every dog we passed elicited a response and a discussion about what kind of dog we wanted to adopt. At my desk in Toronto
in June, I recalled visiting the Charlottetown Humane Society web page in our discussions and that we should really think about getting a dog that
was not easily adoptable. I recalled seeing River on the pages and even watching some video of her in action. The day came that we agreed we could
go in and at least register our interest in adopting a dog. We were invited to go back and take a look. We visited with two dogs that day - and it
was River who immediately stole our hearts. She was gorgeous, curious and full of personality. We knew that there would be challenges particularly
with some other dogs, but we agreed we had the capacity to deal. We have passed our one month anniversary with River, and she with us and her
personality is really shining through, her comfort and willingness to pay attention grows with each day. We are in love with our dog, and we think
she is with us as well. Thank you to all at the Humane Society - and to all of the dog park participants who weather River's barking on one side of
the fence as we continue to work on her socialisation with dogs of all sizes. Su, Graham and River

Thought I would send you a picture of our dog Jake (his adoption name was Morrison). We got Jake back the end of April. He
looked like he was going to be a brute of a dog as he was so thick. He had since grown a lot and has slimmed out looking a lot like a lab. He is a
wonderful family pet. The first picture was taken shortly after we brought him home and the second was taken on the weekend

Hi There, Just wanted to send you a quick update on our newest edition to the family. We adopted Zoe (now known as
Harmony) from you and she has been home so far less than a week. We decided to change her name to Harmony, as we feel that she tries so hard

glad we chose to adopt through the humane society! Thanks again!
