Coco Puffs

Just wanted to let you know what an awesome, awesome family member Coco Puffs (once Squattie Dottie) is! She is totally housetrained, no longer fears strangers and is the most loving, sensitive dog I have ever had. Here she is hugging my daughter, Jessica.

Thank You for what you do. You've made our lives immensely richer.

Roscoe

Thank you so much for taking care of Roscoe until we could find him! He everyone at Etowah Valley to know how much he appreciates it. His biggest worry these days is which toy to play with and how to sneak in Mom's lap for a nap!

Samson (Sammy)

Hi,

Sammy's fitting right in and is an absolute doll!!! I think we really found quite a treasure in him, and Snow adores him as much as we do! He's put on weight and is really catching on with the housebreaking already.

Thank you so much!

Tucker

My husband and I adopted Tucker (formerly Bo) a 15wk old Golden Retriever mix on May 10th 2008. Our other dog Cairo a 5 year old Golden Retriever was very depressed over losing his 16 yr. old furry friend. I searched and searched our local area for a compatable friend for Cairo, and through petfinder.com I found Tucker at Etowah Valley! We made the drive from our home in Knoxville, TN. What wonderful people work there! Tucker has been a friend sent from heaven for not only my husband and I but mostly for Cairo! I cannot thank everyone enough for Tucker's adoption!

Thanks so much!

Prissy

Thank you for taking me in and having a lovely family adopt me. I love my new home. It took a while for my brother Pepper to get use to me but now we are the best playmates. I love getting the attention from mommy and daddy and making them laugh by laying on my back looking so sweet.

Thanks again

PRISSY

Sluggo

I just wanted to thank you for letting Sluggo become a part of our family! He is a great boy, very affectionate and well behaved, and totally spoiled. Of course the new cat, Aiden, treats him with disdain and ignores him, but they all get along very well.

Harley

I just wanted to give you an update on the dog I adopted last week. I have named her Harley, and you'll be happy to know that she is recovering from her surgery very well. She is already adjusting to life outside the Humane Society and has decided that my recliner is her new bed (see attached picture). We still have a long way to go on house breaking, but she is already comfortable with her new surroundings and neighbors.

Tucker

I would like everyone to meet "Tucker". We adopted him from your shelter on the 17th of this month. We just wanted to let everyone know how happy he and our family are. He was neutered on Monday (OK, he wasn't happy about that!) but otherwise he is doing great. He did have a case of of whip worms but he is a very healthy dog. It took us a little while to choose a name for him but we finally agreed to Tucker. He loves to run and play with the kids. He also likes to steal socks and chew on them(that got him some time-out). He also likes to sleep. Thank you! We love him already.

Kitty Foyle & Mothra

I just wanted to send you an update on two wonderful kittens my husband and I adopted from you in April. We were looking for two kittens to adopt, and when my sister let us know about two kittens waiting to be adopted outside of Petco, we raced to get there before you left! We named them Kitty Foyle and Mothra. We’ve learned to tell them apart by their distinctive personalities and their beautiful eyes. They are the perfect kittens we wanted! They are loving sisters and never fail to make us laugh. I always have to have a camera ready to capture their funniest moments! Thank you so much for saving them!

Lance

This is Lance (the yellow lab-on right) and Lilly. After Lilly and I lost her older sister in May. Lilly was so lonely, she cried a lot during the day. I didn’t know if I could adopt another dog so soon after we lost our other dog but I didn’t know if Lilly could be alone much longer. So, I started our search on-line for a brother for Lilly. I saw a couple dogs I liked and we meet with them but Lilly didn’t connect with them.
Then one day in June, I put Lilly in the car and we drove up to Etowah Valley Humane Society and looked at all the dogs and saw this sad face on this yellow lab dog. I ask Dorothy what he was like; she brought him out and with in seconds, Lilly and Lance were playing and happily wagging their tails.
So, we took him home. Lance is now playing everyday, going to the dog park, taking walks, keeping Lilly company and I have never seen that sad face on his face again. He was a perfect match for Lilly and I. Thanks to Dorothy and The Etowah Valley Human Society for Lance! We are all very happy together!

Miles

Thanks so much for taking me in and saving me from running the streets. It was a hard life and sometimes I couldn't find any food. I am now an indoor cat and life is purrrfect. I have 2 playmates that aren't sure what to think of me yet, but I just keep talking to them. My brother Oscar will sometimes talk back. I have all the food I could ever want, and a variety of treats when mom thinks I'm extra cute, which is quite often. I love all the attention too. Mom and dad hold me, love me, and pet me for hours. I fall asleep on their lap just about everyday. In the middle of the night, I like to pounce around and play with my toys. I must have 25+ toys all over the house, and 2 cat towers. My favorite spot is on the small cat tower looking out the window. Did I tell you about my big cat box? I never had one of these in the woods. I love to play in there and make a big mess. I fling litter all over the walls and floor. I'm so cute that mom doesn't mind cleaning up after me. I gotta run, it's about time to chase Oscar.

Scooby

For several months I have meant to write to you and give you an update of Scooby, the Basset/Terrier mix that I adopted. If you recall his transition to our home was not an easy one and I had decided to turn him over to the AWA in Voorhees, NJ. Well, to make a long story short, I just couldn't do it. Despite the challenges with him, he had touched my heart and I felt I needed to give him more time. I kept thinking about the note on the outside cover of the folder that was sent with him, that read, "Thank you for giving this boy a second chance."
I signed us up for an 8 week beginner training session and Scooby did very well. He still tries to run out of the house at times, but he is better behaved and with more practice I am sure he will continue to improve. So, I just wanted to let you know that Scooby's story has turned into a happy tail.

Scruffy

Today is Scruffy's 2 week anniversary with us. He is just a wonderful sweet little gentleman and so darn cute! He has make friends with his two new furry feline sisters, Zoe & Zeeta, and is just a joy to have with us. He knew the house rules, No bite, no chew, outside, from the very beginning and walks so well on a leash than you hardly know that he is there. Thank you so much for choosing us to be Scruffy's forever home. God Bless the work that you do. Every animal deserves a chance for a wonderful life!
