Heidi's success story!

In October of 2009 we adopted Heidi, a German Shepherd cross that had come to the Brant SPCA after being reportedly thrown from a vehicle.

We fell in love with her immediately, but were very unsure about how this dog, with her insecurities and fear, would fit into our active lifestyle. She was quite scared of us in fact, especially my husband. Well, my husband was able to go to the shelter ever day for a number of days to work with Heidi, and with each passing day we saw her confidence increasing and fears subsiding.

I could not imagine our life without Heidi - she has enriched our lives so much and brought so much joy to our household. This past year we welcomed our first child into the family, and spent a great deal of time preparing Heidi for the arrival. Heidi adores being a "big sister". She is such an amazing dog and has come so far from the timid dog we adopted. She loves car rides, playing with other dogs, swimming, hiking, and has mastered a number of commands.

Thank you to all the SPCA staff and the Animal Control officers for all their assistance and care.

Moe!!!

About 2 1/2 years ago I adopted Moe from the Brantford SPCA. They named him Moen because he had a kennel cold and his eyes and nose ran. He bring so much joy to my life. And everyone who meets him always says how he is such a different kind of cat. He is such an appreciative pet. Every toy I buy him he loves. He is very vocal. He loves to voice his opinion. He knows many tricks. One of his favorites is the word " treat!" He also loves to give hugs, he will climb right up you to wrap his little paws around your neck and lick your face. He also loves to hear his own name. I wanted to write this just to show how much I love my pet. He is the best decision I've ever made. Thank you SPCA !

Lady Bella

Just to update you, Lady Bella is doing great. She moved in with us in May 2011 and after figuring out that she was loved and wanted she went on to understand about toys, treats and trips to the trails. She is now just over 4lbs (a 1 ½ lb increase) and has taken over LOL J. She gets along great with both her sisters (the 4 legged one and the 2 legged one). She is the most loving and affectionate dog who now unfortunately has become a ‘fashion diva’. She won’t go anywhere until she has the proper clothing on... ski jacket in winter, rain coat in wet weather or pretty dresses for summer and special. I have attached a couple of pics so you can see our little diva. Thanks again, she is the best thing to come into all of our lives.

Warrick a.k.a Sammy :)

I adopted Warrick (now Sammy) around this time 3 years ago. Just wanted to leave an update on how he's doing. As you can see, he's put on a few pounds but is still healthy. He is a great companion and all the animals love him.

Successful Adoption

Dear Brant County SPCA,

My wife and I adopted "Matthew" ID #14340543 on November 2nd of this year with Allison's guidance. He is absolutely the most prefect cat we could have ever hoped for! Thanks Allison and we hope you and all the SPCA staff have a great Christmas.

Sincerely yours,

Hi everyone!

Hi Guys, it's me August (aka Brett). I just thought I should let you guys know how I am doing in my new Home. Well I am adjusting very well. The great food, long walks, toys,sleeping on the people bed etc and oh yeah lots of love has really helped me to settle in. There is another dog here. His name is Ollie. He and I have a few "sharing" issues we are working on but we like to keep each other company when our humans are gone. We both love car rides too. There are three cats that don't really like me to much but I also need to work on my manners with them (no chasing) as they are old guys and don't want play. The humans here have a little grandson I like but I have to be careful with. They also have a disabled son whom I like and he likes me very very much. I help wake him up in the morning. Well I guess that's all for now. I hope you all don't miss me too much cause as much as I appreciate ALL you did for me....I love my new "forever" fam. Be sure I am well and thanks for all your help. Love Auggie-August

AUGUST....AKA Brett

Just wanted to let u all know that August is doing great. He is high energy but I love it cause I love to walk/jog and he is a perfect partner. He is soooo lovable and had a great connection with our disabled son Jayson. He is the only dog we have ever had that actually is brave enough to be close to Jas, lol. He is wonderful and fun and lovable so thank you for giving us the privilege to adopt August AKA Brett. he is a wonderful addition to our family.
