Throwback Thursday: Katie Nana

9/6/2018

 
Picture
Hi All,
As I'm sitting here on my couch this Friday night, I can't help but want to show you all what a blessing my Katie Nana has been! Since we brought her home in May, she has come out her shell so much. She still doesn't like toys, but she'll do anything for a chicken wrapped raw hide. She whines and moo's like a cow when she's excited and she loves to lay on the couch and our bed when we're not at home. She has the spare bedroom all to herself where she can lay on the bed and bark at other dogs out the window! She rarely barks but when she does, it's because she's excited. She loves long walks and she even wakes her mom up at 6:00AM every morning for her walk. She only listens to her dad but she does love both of us so much. If you're near her while she's laying down, she will find your hand with her nose just for a rub and she also loves to put her face right up against your cheek and just lay there. She loves being close to her mom and dad.

The vet says she's anywhere from 5-7 but this Ol lady still goes into a full sprint when she sees a cat in the neighborhood. She also loves to chase bunnies. She has gained a healthy 10lbs since coming to her forever home and
her thick fur coat is growing in for the winter after we have her a short cut this summer.

Thank you again for all you did for our girl and every day we look at each other and can't believe our love for our sweet Katie Nana. And thank you for what you continue to do for all the other animals at the shelter. Adopting Katie Nan was the best decision we've ever made. She continues to bring us so much joy and if we come up to Harrisonburg with her, we will absolutely come visit!! I hope all the pictures send as well!

Happy Fall!
Melissa and Zachary

Throwback Thursday: Dewey, now Dobbin

Hello everyone,
I adopted Dobbin (formerly Dewey) 3 weeks ago. I cannot begin to tell you what a joy this happy boy has been. He fit right in with his "brother" and "sister" from the moment I put him down with them. He smiles constantly, plays so joyfully with his balls and stuffed animals, snuggles closely, and is so very smart. He sleeps curled against me nightly...and never fails to give goodnight kisses to us all.

He has become a celebrity with his antics whenever others are around. Everyone who meets him tells him what a cute little guy he is.

​I want to thank you folks for making the adoption possible and bringing much happiness to me and my little canine family.

​It's really hard to get a photo of him being still unless he is sleeping so I've just included some when he is taking a break. -Anita

Throwback Thursday: Commander Adele, now Ladybird

Just a friendly letter on the one year mark of the addition to the Pott Family.

On July 28th 2012 we adopted Ladybird aka: Commander Adele (a bluetick coonhound). When we first brought her home, we thought, "What in the world were with thinking?" However with a lot of patience and work, she has turned into a good old hound dog who we love very much. I do believe we have made great progress; she is a very happy and busy girl. She keeps everything out of our yard (birds, bunnies, cats, mice and any other animals). She gets along well with her sister as we did not think this would ever happen.

She has however managed to escape our yard on several occasions even though we have underground fencing, training collars, name tags, and microchips, but with the help of our newly purchased pet tracking (GPS) system we have managed to locate her. It's been a long year, but we are very happy with her! Thank you to Petfinder.com and Rockingham County Shelter for helping us find and adopt our loving and sweet Ladybird.

Sounds like you have had quite the adjustment to a high-energy houndy! Thank you for your patience and persistence helping Ladybird be the best dog she can be and taking the time and resources to help keep her safe. So many hounds arrive at our animal shelter without any form of ID and no owners come forward to take them home. Helping these special, silly, goofy dogs adjust to a life indoors with a family can take some time, but it sounds like Ladybird has hit the jackpot for a loving forever home! Thank you Pott Family!
