Marsha’s update for Feb. 22nd

Dogs:
Lance was joyfully reunited with his former person.  What a great day for both of them.  Lance’s person was bereft after returning this sweet dog to us.  After many discussions,  this kind guy realized he needed his four-legged buddy and did everything possible to ensure the two of them would be together.  The reunion was joyous with tears welling in my eyes as I watched them greet each other.  So we are dog-less again.

Cats:
Handsome and sweet Chester is now the companion of a guy who loves cats and really misses sharing his apartment with one.  Chester will be an indoor cat and well cared for, I’m sure.  Chester may even learn to respond to Spanish.

Veronica is being introduced to the second cat room.  She could lose a pound or two so this is the perfect place for her.  Since Veronica is also a black and white tuxedo, there may be some confusion with Iris.  However, their photos are next to each other on the boards so it’s easy to determine which tuxedo cat is Iris or maybe Veronica. White markings on the faces are quite different for each cat.  Iris will be leaving in a couple of weeks so that will put an end to any confusion.

Rusty’s new home looks absolutely wonderful as befits an elegant, old boy like him.  So, we’re dog-less again and need to reach out to our shelter partners to see if they need help.

Rusty's new home

Rusty is now settled into his new digs with a buddy, Chester, an American Field Setter.  Rusty is now a Canadian citizen and I doubt it will affect his sweet attitude or bark.

A big thank you to:
