Amber’s family adopted Autumn last year.  Here’s what Amber has to say: “We are so happy to have adopted from the shelter! Autumn was renamed Hazel, and has taken to life with us very well. She’s still a little apprehensive of her human children house mates (Parker who is 4 and Gwen who is 1) , but is very patient with them and seems to enjoy looking down on them from anywhere out of reach haha.

She is definitely a cuddler and has been a great addition to my evenings where she and I sit and hang out together while I do homework. All in all, we are thrilled and thankful that we are able to be Hazel’s forever home!

This boy was at the shelter for close to a year, but he’s found his forever home, as you can see below.

“Bones has been WONDERFUL!!! I could go on for days about how much we love him and how perfect he has been as a new addition to our family. We quickly learned many things about him, He loves the lake and the beach. He is quick to come when called. He is a great walker! Even my 4 year old can walk him without any issues. He has not had a single accident. He does well with other dogs, on leash and off. He only barks 2-3 times to let us know that someone is at our door. He loves cuddling, but does not share his bed. picture to show 🙂 He does GREAT with little kids! However, he hates the vacuum.

A typical day for Bones includes his morning walk, breakfast and a little play time with Saddie before school. Then he hangs out and watches our home till 4. I say watches because he insists on laying right next to the front door. When we get home we either walk him to the park/lake or we drive to the beach. He loves to play fetch and tag. Occasionally, we can get him to play hide and seek, but he usually has too much energy for that. 🙂 Then we will go home and eat dinner. More likely then not Saddie will sneak him a treat or two before bedtime, because he is playing so nicely in her room 😉 We want to thank you all at the shelter for taking such good care of him for the past year. He has brought such joy and laughter to my daughter and me. He most definitely has found a forever home!”

Hazel was adopted out early last summer.  Her mom tells us “Hazel has been pure delight.  She’s bossy, inquisitive, quirky and cute cute cute!   She’s a small cat, about 8 lbs. and makes up for her diminutive proportions with healthy confidence.  She manages our Shelty, McDuff, as well as the neighbor’s Norwich terrier  keeping them on their most respectful behavior.  Hazel is very engaging and wins the heart of everyone who meets her.  Here’s a photo of her waiting for someone to try and use dental floss in her presence.  Now that’s very tricky.”

We hear that Jackson continues to be very spoiled.  His favorites? Swimming and cuddling – or maybe dressing up?

These two dogs are having a wonderful life in Alaska with Jackie and David.  The two came down in Jackie’s RV over the Fourth of July holiday in 2013 and adopted Ivy III.  This summer they drove down again and stopped at the shelter to find a brother or sister for Ivy III.  Pecan, an adorable young Pug, got along immediately with everyone, and went off the same day to spend the Fourth in Cannon Beach before going home to Alaska. Thank you, Jackie and David, for sharing your story with us.
