Walter - Wally
Posted by tfjim on Monday August 17, 2009 9:59 am

Here is an Email we just got in, that I would like to share. Walter came in in very bad shape, his coat was matted and he was full of fleas.  This is made all the more sad in that he was about 8-10 years old, and such a happy little guy.  I have a special place in my heart for the small dogs, I am so happy he got a good home.

 Hi,

Walter is doing extremely well.  He went to the groomers on the 4th and was cleaned up as well as given an oatmeal soak.  With his new do and nails trimmed he is getting around a whole lot better.  I have attached some photos!  Once again thank you for the gift of Wally, he is loved.

Moose & Rocky
Posted by tfteri on Sunday August 16, 2009 5:06 am

Congratulations Joan for  being selected as President of Treasured Friends. You fostered our twin male cats before we seen them & adopted them. Thank you for nursing them back to healthy cats so we could adopt them. They now weigh 14 1/2 lbs and are very healthy. They are spoiled rotten and worth it. Moose has a white tip on his tail & Rocky has a black tip on his tail & that is how we know who is who. They are such a pleasure. Very friendly & very good cats. They are also very close with each other. We have recommended Treasured Friends at Pet Smart many times. Everyone goes out of their way to help you. Keep up the good work. Thank you for doing this for the animals & making so many people happy with great pets. Sharon & Bill S.

 


 
   




Sybil

Our president Joan would like to share an email from a recent adoptive parent.

 Hi Joan,

  Sybil has been with us for 4 weeks now.  She is doing very well.  She eats a full bowl of dry food and
some moist food each day.  She likes to walk on our pillows in the middle of the night to get
attention and cuddle up by our side purring,and falling asleep. Attached are 2 of her recent pictures,
 
    Thank you so much for letting us adopt Sybil.

      -John

 

 
 

 





Mya

This letter was pulled out of the archives, I hope everyone enjoyes it.
 
Treasured Friends:
 
I am writing in response to a letter that was sent out some time ago requesting stories from adoptive parents.  I have also attached pictures of our adopted dog, Mya.
 Two years ago, my now husband, and I decided we wanted to bring a dog into our home.  My husband had never had an animal before and I always had animals growing up.  This was a big decision for us and for me it was also very emotional.  A few years past I had suffered a tragic loss with a cat I had adopted.  I was unsure of whether or not I would be able to open my heart up to another animal ever again.  My husband and I decided that we should maybe do some research first so we went to the Petco in Highland.  While we were there we noticed that there were dogs being showcased for adoption.  As soon as I noticed the black and brown dog with little floppy ears named Mya, I knew she was the dog we were taking home.  We discussed with the foster parent what kind of personality traits we were looking for in a dog and Mya was everything we wanted. 

 The first couple months were a real adjustment and we wondered if we had gotten in over our heads.  She was six months old but still was not completely house broken and we were having difficulty disiplining her.  We both took Mya to a training class and gradually made progress becoming better parents and getting her to listen to us.  Soon after, Mya was fully adjusted to our home and had made us a family.  I cannot even imagine our home without her. 

 Mya has a lot of lovable qualities.  She will not go into her crate; she would rather sleep on top of it, just like Snoopy.  At times she sleeps in our bed but has to be under the covers.  She has lots of doggie friends and is very good with kids.  Mya brings so much joy and happiness to our lives and we are so grateful for having found her.

 Thank you to everyone at Treasured Friends for connecting us with our baby girl.
 
 
Thank you,
Heather Bender (& Jeffrey Bender)
 

 




Bailey
Posted by tfjim on Wednesday June 17, 2009 11:23 am
Here is an email that was passed to me from one of our members Sandi Litke
 
Hi Sandi,
 
I'm not sure if you remember me or not but I'm hoping that you do.  My husband and I adopted a little black and white springer named Bailey from you back in September.  I just wanted to write to you and give you an update and to thank you, again, for the work that you do.
 Bailey is an amazing dog!  She has that dual springer personality that I have loved my entire life.  She is athletic and quite a hunter but then she is also sweet and loving and cuddly.  She has a wonderful disposition and has been very trainable.
 Of course, Bailey is very spoiled.  She has somehow found her way into our bed at night and has taken over a new chair in the living room as "her chair."  Bailey has a best friend who lives down the street and comes over for playdates 3 times a week.  Her friend is a beagle named Bootsie and is just a few months younger than she is.
 I've attached some updated pictures to this email.  I hope you will enjoy them.  My husband and I find ourselves wondering about Bailey's brother, Buster, quite often.  Do you ever get updates on him?  We would love to know how he is doing.
 Thank you, again, for taking in Bailey.  She is a truly wonderful dog!
 
Take care,
Kerri Killion-Mueller
