Adoption Feedback

Sassy

Thank you very much

On 28 October 2009, I went to Wet Nose, a long drive, and I was racing to get there, due to them closing around 16h00 and i decided to take the trip rather late that day, but i did phone and say..I am on my way!

When i arrived there, I was cheerfully greeted, I went to the dog cages, and looked thru all the kennels.

I then decided to open the one door, a nice black puppy walked up to me..and i could just feel it.

I run to the office, told them which cage, which mommy, and which puppy.

They got her ready for me and in a manner of minutes, i named her Sassy and she went on the long trip home with me, sitting on my lap.

It was a new environment, so i kept her close to me.

On arriving at my house I researched everything i needed. Found my vet, got her a bed, got her enrolled in puppy training and everything is perfect.

Sassy brings me a lot of joy. She is the perfect dog.

She is perfectly potty trained, listens to commands, she is extremely loving, and she loves travelling in the car.

If you ever want a hint to get a dog to be like this, just ask me.

I have also included some pictures of my little one.

These have been taking over the last few months. Ranging from November 2009 till February 2010. See how she has grown.

She is now over 7 months old, spayed, and weighing a full 11kg.

She is extremely fit and healthy. Goes for walks and runs with me, and she is just lovely!

I love my little one! She has made me the proudest mommy in the whole world, and don’t forget daddy, who loves her too bits.

Blackie

Just wanted to let you know Blackie and I have returned home and he has settled in quite nicely with my other dog Toby (whom I adopted from a rescue in 2003) and my cat Tux (a stray I took in 16 years ago). I want to thank you so much for allowing me to adopt Blackie. He is such a wonderful addition to our family.

Tank

I just wanted to say thank you so much for our wonderfull new puppy Tank, she has truley brightened our life as well as made our other very lonely dog not so lonely anymore. I have attached a photo of Tank in her new home. Thank you very much for everything you do for the animals Sincerely Carla Pels!

Nibbles

Hier is ‘n paar foto’s van Nibbles. Ons het hom laas jaar Augustus ‘Adopt’ vir my ma. Hy is die oulikste dingetjie onder die son. Hy smile heeldag en is dankbaar vir ‘n liefdevolle familie elke dag. Hy is ‘n blessing vir ons familie ook. Hy word nou die 2de Maart 1 jaar oud. Ons sal vir julle nog foto’s stuur in die loop van die maand.

Duke and Nushka

Dear Wetnose

Thank you so much for giving us the privilege of adopting Duke and Nushka. They are wonderful hounds and are very comfy in their new home. We attached some photos for you to enjoy.

Thanks again!

Lucky Lucy update

Greetings to all mutt-maniacs!

‘Twas the month after Christmas (give or take), and all through the Cape all the dog lovers were going ape.  People have been talking, writing, reading, eating, sleeping, gnawing and Facebooking Lucky Lucy – our heroic little hound who was found tied to the railway tracks in Wellington. Discovered by Richelle and Andre – who run our Hound Haven in Klapmuts – Lucy had already been run over by at least one train, and one of her front legs had unfortunately been torn off. But luckily, Richelle and Andre were in the right place and the right time, and luck was on Lucy’s side. Almost two weeks later, she is making remarkable progress, having had her leg properly amputated and treated. She now spends her days rehabilitating at the Hound Haven, where she follows Richelle around like a (very grateful) shadow and enjoys her homecoming gifts from Eukenuba, Rogz, Royal Canin, Purina and all the other kind donors and supporters (for which she sends a big, face-licking thank you ). Her tail is already wagging and she’s putting her three feet forward for the future on long walk to freedom, as the father of our nation did 20 years ago on this day!



Many people have come forward to adopt Lucy, but she has been adopted by her rescuer Richelle. Meanwhile, there are many other marvellous mutts who have their own heartwarming stories to tell and their own dreams of a loving home to call their own
