Adoption Diaries: Happy Endings
Elyse's Adoption Diary:
I bring good cheer! This weekend we held a huge adoption event, which was an enormous success. Thirty-four cats and 10 dogs were adopted--among them were long-term residents and special needs animals. I'd like to highlight a few special cases, animals you've read about before on this blog.
I was incredibly excited to hear about the adoption of Bianca, a white, three-year-old Siamese mix kitty who was here for a long time. She is an outgoing and feisty girl who loved a little lap time, and affection on her own terms. I couldn't understand why she wasn't getting adopted! She went home with another cat named Duncan.
Yankee is a smartie-pants eight-year-old pit bull who was rescued by our HLE (Humane Law Enforcement) officers. He didn't have so much patience for adult dogs, but he absolutely loved puppies. "Yankee did a lot of puppy-sitting during his stay with us, and became known in the shelter as our resident puppy-nursemaid," said Barbara MacDonald, ASPCA Volunteer Coordinator, Feline Enrichment. "He got to watch quite a few puppies come and go in the shelter, and had to wait a long time to finally get a home of his own--he was with us for 8 months, so it was a very happy day when he finally found a permanent home."
Cali is a wonderful four-year-old pit, and she, too, was rescued by our animal cops. During her five months here, she was a real lover, and you could always find her sitting on laps. "She didn't get such a great start in life, but you'd never know it from her personality, because she really does adore people," said Barbara. Her trust in people was rewarded this Sunday when she met her new adopter.

Both of these sweet pit bulls were adopted last weekend!
I really like watching you guys go out and rescue animals that have been hurt or not being taken care of. I am an animal lover i have three dogs of my own and i take care of them just like i woud if they were my kids..so i give you guys the props because with out people like you there would still be animals out there that are suffering.
I like to watch you guys in action! hurray for the animals that they have someone out there caring enough to do something about some of the conditions they live in. It makes me sick to see the skinny and abused ones! sometimes it's so appalling I can't watch it. God be with you and God Bless You for taking care of the animals!.
