Lucie (formerly Gypsy) joined
our family in early September, and let me
tell you, how quick things changed! Weekends
and evenings used to be filled with romantic
dinners, movies etc. and now we are
definitely full time parents. Long walks
and "doggie talk" is our reality now.
Although Lucie is now the boss of the house
we would have it no other way.
She is truly a great girl.
Lucie has really developed her confidence
and has even learned a few tricks. It was
joy watching her personality shine through
after her first few shy days.
My husband and I would
like to thank SHARES and Lucie's foster
family for giving her a chance. You do great
work. Jodie |
Thank you so
much for finding our new companion. Her new
name is "Maggie" and she settled in right
away. In fact I swear she has even taken
over control! She likes to go for walks
and is very good on the leash. She hasn't
mastered the inside stairs yet and waits for
someone to lift here up and down. How
spoiled is that? She seems to like children
and was introduced to a whole class at
daycare. Her tail just kept wagging. She
also likes car rides and has her own spot in
the backseat.
I am sending a photo of Maggie
which was taken just after we adopted her (before
she was groomed) I hope to send another
after she has been groomed. Thank you, Don, Laura and
Maggie |

I just adopted a 10 week old kitten named
Jack from SHARES, through Petcetera at West
Edmonton Mall. He is a very energetic, healthy and sweet
kitten. He is adapting very well to our home, getting
along tremendously well with myself, my husband and our
roommate. He is getting along well with my special needs
Cairn Terrier and my 5 year old cat whom we adopted from
the SPCA 3 years ago. Jack is full of energy and loves
to play. I look forward to many long wonderful years
with him in our household. Michaela |
I was drawn to Harlee immediately
because she reminded me of our gentle Lab, Kayla,
who had just been diagnosed with cancer and would
not be with us much longer. We spoke to Harlee's
foster mom, and explained our predicament and she
was very understanding. I continued to check the
website daily and would see if Harlee was still
there. When Kayla passed away, Roxie (our other dog)
and our kitties were very sad. Harlee came to our
home for a visit because it was not known how she
was with cats, and when she arrived she walked past
the cats with no issue... she had just adopted
us!
Harlee loves going on walks and likes wearing her
Halti. We also recently added to our family another
Lab brother and he has everyone playing. That is
what it is all about, helping these wonderful 4
legged kids enjoy life the way it was intended.
Thank you to Jean and Anne for fostering Harlee long
enough for us to adopt her into our family.

We adopted Kayne in February 2006 I fell in love
with him when I saw his picture. At first he was a
little shy and skinny but since we brought him home he
weighed about 35 lbs and he's gained about 20lbs in just
over 2 months. He's warmed up to everyone here and loves
to give hugs and play with
his toys and the kids soccer ball. He is great with the
kids and other dogs and he walks well on his leash now.
He does like to dig up the backyard a bit but we are
working on that. When I saw him and his brother on the
website I knew I wanted to have one of them if not both.
Unfortunately we couldn't take them both and choosing
was very hard and I cried when I left his brother
behind. Kayne is a Border Collie cross with a Great
Pyrenees and we are so happy we could make him part of
our family.

Coonhound "D" or Dixie from
Saucier, Mississippi has turned out to be a wonderful
little girl. We can't even imagine what she went through
during hurricane Katrina but she is settling quite well
with our other two hounds. When we first brought her
home she was a holy terror. It became obvious that she
was an outside dog, as she had no inside manners at all.
She learns quickly and our Redbone Coonhound boy just
loves to play with her. However, our Beagle cross girl
can't stand Dixie but we noticed that other Beagles
don't seem to have any love for Dixie either. When we
got Dixie we were told that her estimated age was two.
The way she plays and the amount of energy she has lead
us to believe she isn't much older than one. She had
hook worms when we got her and she was quite skinny. The
hook worms are gone and she has put on just enough
weight to look like a movie star. She is a nice looking
hound and just the right size. Our love for Dixie grows
each day and she is just a joy!
to have around. Lynn & Morley |

Yoshi is doing really well. He's a super pup!! He
tends to sit on my deck and then once every hour or so
goes and patrols around my mother's house to make sure
everything is safe there! He loves to play with that
rope... we have a really fun game going where we play a
gentle game of tug-of-war and then I let him take the
rope... until I can steal it from him... and then he
chases the rope all over the place as I run with it
dangling behind me. He has lots of cat buddies to play
with. |
We adopted Bandit at the Petcetera
on 137 Ave in Edmonton, Alberta. She has adjusted very
well to her new home and enjoys her play time at the
local dog park. She has made many new puppy friends as
well! |

Just to let you know that Koda is doing
fantastic and fitting into our family wonderfully. She

the rest of her new family, including us.

Suzanne the 'Foster Mom'
was so great and the dogs just love her! She is so
calm and relaxed and very caring towards them! She
has such a great yard for them.
As our phone call
indicated Nicklaus is such a gift. I have had many
dogs and have never had one like this one. He is so
caring and gentle and loving. He is very proud
and learns whatever you teach him after no more
than three times!!!
I'm trying very hard
to make sure that he has a wonderful home and that I
can return to him all that he gives to me!
Your organization is
so important and anything that I can do to help,
please call.
Sincerely, Sharin
