One of our wonderful Volunteers/Fosters has taken little Serenity as their own. Serenity had been shot and was found on the side of the road in Industry laying next to a deer that also had been shot. As a result, she lost her front leg and needed a quiet place in which to recouperate. Joanne Klauber and her husband Chuck contacted us almost immediately with an offer to Foster, but then decided to adopt her. Your kindness to animals is incredible !! We love you!
Mutt, one of our Jack Russel mixes, got a home the week before Thanksgiving. And I am sure he had a little bit of turkey with his kibble this year. A wonderful retired couple fell in love and had to have him. We are soooo happy for Mutt. Now we just need to find a forever home for his brother Jeff.
We had an adoption at Market Day in Bellville. Boxcar, a wonderful Pit Bull, was adopted by a couple and is living very large with lots of new toys and even though he has never been in a home enviornment (that we know of ) goes to the door when he needs to potty and has not had one accident. They absolutely adore him. AFS could not be happier when adoptions go this well.
Here's a couple pics I snapped this morning showing Mary Jane's progress... we're so happy with her! She began wanting to hang out in the kennel about mid-week and last night I led her into the dog room and closed the door so she had to figure out how to use the doggy door. She was outside the dog room this morning so I knew she went out, but wasn't sure if she felt comfortable coming in on her own. But she watched Savannah come through a couple times and since the water dish was inside the room and she was thirsty, it didn't take long for her to get over her fear. I thought she'd curl up on one of the comforters, but she seems to prefer the cool tile floor for now.
I think she's made wonderful progress for a week's time! She and Savannah hang out together quite a bit. I'm even getting wagged at now.
