Hi,
I thought I
would let you know that my new home has worked
out great.
My big brother
did not pay too much attention to me the first
week, but now we are the best of friends.
Mom and Dad are
keeping me up to date on my shots, I go again
next week for rabies and some other adult shot.
My spaying went
very well, no problems at all. When Mom picked
me up I weighed 11 lbs. Now, I weigh almost
40lbs.
Looks like I am
going to be a big girl. I am doing pretty good
with housebreaking. Every now and then I get
excited and pee in the floor.
Mom keeps the
shampooer ready just in case. I love to chew,
thank goodness I have a lot of toys! I sleep in
my crate at night or if Mom and
Day have to be
away for a short time. We have a giant yard and
a big deck to hang out on and enjoy the sun when
it shines.
I hope all of
you are well and thanks for taking care of me
when I was a baby puppy.

To the Folks
at Avery County Humane Society:
We just wanted
you to know that Ballou and Heidi
(who we renamed "Buffy") are doing great since
we brought them
home from ACHS in February. A recent picture of
the kitties is attached. Thank you again for the
great work you do. --Chris and Cathy Robbins
Laraine and I
wanted to send you a few pictures and update you
on "Sofia" who is now known as "Jordan". She
has been a welcomed addition to our home,
although she is the smallest around, she still
commands the attention of all the 'boys'. Her
best buddy is Boomer, our Saint Bernard.
Although Baxter and Dexter make good play
buddies too.
Jordan is an absolute joy to have in our family,
thanks for allowing her to find us. Anyway,
thought you would enjoy hearing from one that
has been adopted out for a while and doing well.

Hi
Charlene and staff,
Here
are some pictures of Lexie (Kiwi). She is
growing like a weed. We are having a great
time. She is about 16 in tall now. I've had to
adjust her collar 2 times. She has been on a
trip to Florida when I visited my daughter and
she did great on the trip. Thank everyone
there. She is a real joy!

We added Daks (Australian word for
underpants) to our family last August (I can't
remember his original name now) and just wanted to
give you an update as well as a recent picture.
He is a sweet sweet boy! He grew up so fast
physically but is still a puppy most days. He
keeps our 14 yo ACD active and on her toes and he
is best friends with our 2 1/2 yo daughter Lia.
 
This is Rose Lavender. Her original name was Rose.
We got these photos in an update. They say that
Rose and Alonnah 8 years old, are inseparable. I
think Rose Lavender has herself a nice home!
You might remember Petunia. This is her new
family. It looks like "Lady Petunia" is thriving
in her new home. . . and maybe a little spoiled!
This is the update for Ziggy. The whole family
thinks he is perfect.
 
 
Hello, Alice and Charlene!
Well, what do you think of this, our
precious "Miss Lucille", going for a ride in our
'38 Packard! Is she spoiled or what? We
have thoroughly enjoyed taking her on our weekly
"escapades" around town. You can tell she truly
loves going!
Now that the weather has warmed up, Lucy
frequently goes out on our pier to "check things
out"! She is always "on the go" and the first
to "alert" us of any activities that may be
going on outside. She is truly a treasure - we
love her dearly!
Thank you for taking such good care of all
the precious dogs and cats that you "take under
your wing"! Bob and I will always be grateful!
Sincerely,
Ginger and Bob Wells
Thanks for the picture Charlene, the puppies are
doing great. Tiki is absolutely on point with
her training, she's a darling sweetheart and she
and Whiskey are great playmates. Thank you so
much! I'll bring them by for a visit when
they're a bit bigger. Thanks again! Tessa
Wittman
Thank you for the photo. Patty and Raven, my
black lab, are doing great! Patty has adjusted
well to her new home and really enjoys the large
yard where the dogs can run and play.
Thanks so very much
for all you do to help all of the wonderful
animals!!
Hello Alice, and
friends,
Just wanted to let
you know that Little River is home now. We got
back here at 6:30 AM, Tuesday morning.
He is a very happy
little man, and so are we. He is so loving,
smart, and so much a part of the family now. For
me,
after losing my Taz,
I have been so lost for 2 years. I walked in the
house 2 weeks ago to see my daughter on line.
She was talking to my other daughter that is in
Hudson NC. The picture that they were both
looking at was "River". I looked at it and
started to cry. I wanted to have him with me, it
was as if he had been there for me. My kids had
it all planned that if there was a way for me to
have him I would. Here he is with me, and he had
such a hard time getting to me. Surely the Lord
had blessed this joining. You are all such
wonderful people for taking care of him and
waiting for us to come. God Bless all of you for
what you do. As soon as I can I will send a
donation. River is potty training as if he
already knew this. He is so loved.
Tomorrow he will go
to the doctor, and we will make sure he is well
taken care of, he is a part of us now.
Thank you again, and
I will send the pictures as soon as I can get
them on the computer.
Friends in Christ,
Barb Vaillancourt

Good
Morning Charlene,
Hope
all is well…
Just
wanted to send you a quick email and let you know
how Tater is doing. He's actually been doing
great!
The
day we brought him home, he stretched out in the
back seat and slept all the way home. He's
finally coming around to both Peter & myself.
He's such a blessing to have and we're really
enjoying his company. Hope you have a great day!
Kind
Regards,
Jessica Kiers |

Hi Charlene and everyone at Avery,
Thank you for the adoption day picture. Buddy
(aka Roger) is doing so great. It took him about
a week before he really felt like he was home. He
sort of had the look of "please keep me" for the
first few days. Now I think he feels as though
he's been here forever. He got a haircut, which
he did not enjoy, but he looks great and I am sure
he feels so much better. He is really a beautiful
dog and is the sweetest, most loving animal I have
ever seen. He also has a very playful side. He
is working very hard on his housetraining (he had
an upset stomach for the first week so it was very
hard
for him), but he is going really well. He is also
trained on the invisible fence and LOVES to be
outside and chase things. And believe me, he
chases after everything especially leaves. We
took him to the vet on the Monday after the
adoption for heartworm testing, etc. He was
heartworm free and he started on preventative and
on a flea and tick control. He also had two
pretty bad ear infections, but we treated that is
now he is going great. He also now will bark, but
still very rarely. My husband bought a training
book and he and my oldest son are working with
him. His first lesson is sit and he is catching
on quite well. He also loves his walks and has
come to expect them daily. Our neighborhood is 1
and a half miles around and he gets a morning walk
and an evening walk around. And just FYI, he
still continues to get very dirty. His favorite
hobby is digging. Attached are some pics of him
with his new hairdo. Thank you again for
everything. We are so fortunate to have found a
dog like him and are looking forward to many happy
years with him.
The Scorniks,
Hugo, Staci, Simon and Eli
PS: I sent off for a DNA test on him just to see
his mix. I will let you know when I get the
results.

I saw the photo on the website. Why do I always close my eyes
when getting a photo taken? Anyway Otis is doing
great and gets on very well with the other dogs.
Its so hard getting a photo with four dogs in the
picture so here is a photo of three including Otis
relaxing on the deck

Hello Charlene and Alex,
Just wanted to send over a cute picture of
Miss Delilah. I really have enjoyed the
experience of adopting her. She is a
wonderful dog and has settled in very well!
I hope you have placed so many dogs that you
can’t remember, but I adopted Delilah in
May. She was a “New Leash on Life “ dog.
Thanks for all you do and have a great rest
of the week!!

Good Afternoon:
Thank you so much for the picture. Angel is
adjusting well to our home in the hills.
She has been to the Vet for a checkup and
was pronounced to be fine. Her surgery is
healing nicely as well. Angel loves the
climbing tower in our living room and is
thoroughly spoiled enough to snuggle next to
us on the sofa. There are still a few
growls and hisses with our other cats, but
they are learning to get along and soon will
be absolutely fine with each other. Thank
you for making our adoption of Angel such a
nice experience. Thank you and your staff
for the wonderful work you do every day with
animals looking for forever homes. It is
truly a calling and we are glad you are
answering that call.
In Service,
Denny Jennings |

Hey everyone.
This is my dog-niece named Lucy Lou. She was
adopted by my sister and brother-in-law when
they both worked here. I guess it was about
four and a half years ago. Anyway Lucy has
been great with their three daughters. She
loves to play with toys but the squeakers
never last long. She even comes to my car to
see if I have brought her anything! And
seeing as how I work here she never fails to
give me the once over with her nose. These
are a couple of her glamour shots! haha The
girls love to paint her nails and fancy her
up. I don't know what the family would do
without her. Charlene |

We wanted to thank you so much for taking
such good care of Roxanne until we could
adopt her on May 3rd.
She has been a wonderful addition to our
family - that is an understatement! She
has a big brother, Sami, and they really
love each other.
She has grown a bit more since May, but we
think maybe she is done growing now.
She has a wonderful life and we wanted you
to know how happy she is and how happy we
are:)
Many Many Thanks!
Ted and Debra Campbell

Hi,
I don't
know it you received my other email or
not. I sent it to the adoptpet link.
Anyway, I
adopted Fatz on Monday, August 25th. His
name has been changed to Simon. He is a
great dog.
I wish to
thank the fantastic staff for all the help
and caring attitude. Avery County Shelter
is a very well run organization
with
qualified and friendly folks working
there.
Barkley,
my other dog, is a Therapy dog. I think
that Simon has the smarts and temperament
to someday become a Therapy dog, as well.
Barkley
will help him learn the ropes.
I'll keep
you posted on Simon's progress.
Thanks
again for all your help and Simon thanks
you, too.

Charlene,
Again, thanks for helping us out yesterday. We'll be watching
your web site for the postings.
Congrats on your new Director position. And don't worry.
If you are 'where you're supposed to be',
you'll do fine job. And when you have a good crew, that helps
a lot. Looks like you have your very
own Dog Whisperer in Jose! (Gotta get him a new hat, though.)
As promised, we are finally sending photos of the three
girls. Arabella is "a mess". Keeps us
entertained,
though she has stopped drinking from the faucet.
Like the old song says;
"Turn around, they're grown".
Thanks again, The Farlows |
