Goliath Update

Hi there!

It’s been 8 months since we adopted Goliath (was Champ), and we feel like he’s been part of our family forever! We just adore him. Everyone who meets him loves him. He is registered as a therapy dog now, and we go on regular visits. He loves his job! Everyone asks what breeder we got him from and thinks he cost a fortune. J They are all amazed that he is a shelter dog, but we love to tell everyone that we do all our shopping there. (Our last four dogs have been from various shelters.) Thanks for all you do!

Say hello to everyone for us!

Calamus' First Night Home

I wanted to let everyone know Calamus had a great first night in his new home. He found a chair he love... that is now his! He seems very happy. And I'm proud to say we took our first walk last night and he did a great job! You guys were right he loves to cuddle! I attached a few pic's. I will send some more once he's nice and healthy.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to give Calamus a great forever home. He is greatly loved already!

Sincerely,

Kari Peterson

Leo Elvis and his new Best Friend, Laddie

Hi All;

I wanted to update you on our kitty, who we named Leo Elvis. (It's a long story). As you can tell from the attached picture, Leo has adjusted quite nicely and very much enjoys his royal subject (Laddie our collie, who we got from Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue five years ago). He would really like Laddie to play, but at least Laddie is tolerant when Leo runs full speed at the dog, pounces on him and then leaps off and runs away. When the dog's food is put down, Leo naturally runs over and helps the dog eat it. Sometimes they share, but occasionally Laddie lays down and waits for Leo to finish eating.

When not snuggling with his doggie, Leo loves to go in the back yard. If you put a leash on him he flops on his side to let you know he, King Leo, will not be walked! But if you put him on the tie out in the back yard he just loves that. He will walk all over the house meowing loudly proclaiming "I want to go outside now!" When you are putting on his harness to go outside he just purrs and purrs. Then he's off to hunting the dreaded butterflies who dare invade his territory. He hasn't caught one yet, but that doesn't stop him from trying.

Thank you for the wonderful addition to our family!

Marilyn, Jack, Isabelle (Leo's primary staff), Dan, and Laddie

Mikey, the Gentle Giant

Hi,

Mikey has adjusted very well. As you can see he has been to the Northwoods. He enjoys pontoon boat rides and has found that life jackets make a good spot to lay or he is just playing it safe. He likes to be outside in his yard with his sister Carlie. She and he have SO MUCH fun playing. Mikey has learned many house routines from Carlie. He jumps in bed every morning after his dad gets up. He and I sleep-in. Beds, cars couches and car rides are his favorites. Everyone is impressed with his kind temperment. Mikey is a gentle giant.

His forever mom, Sally

OTTO'S NEW HOME

FORMERLY KNOWN AS DALI

Hello to the wonderful staff at the Dodge County Humane Society!!!
Just wanted to give you an update on Dali, the American Bulldog Mix we adopted on July 8th. It took a few days to find the perfect name, but we finally settled on Otto. As you can see, Otto is doing great in his new home!!! Our brother's dog, Ranger, spent the weekend with us and they became best friends from the moment they met!!! Otto loves his squeaky toys, snuggling with Ranger and going for long walks around our neighborhood. He has also proven to be quite the gentlemen at the dog park and plays extremely well with other dogs and children! Otto is still quite curious about our cats and has the urge to chase, but he's getting better and better each day. We could not be more happy with our new baby and greatly appreciate everything you did for us. We looked for a dog for over a month and your shelter was by far the most professional, welcoming place we had been to. The whole experience was so wonderful and we're grateful to have Otto. Thanks for rescuing him and continuing to do such selfless work every day.
Love,
Jeff, Annie and Ottto
