Robbie and Bob
|
| | |
Hello DCH!!
I live on the North Shore and I have adopted 2 of your darling doggies!
 The first one I adopted was Robbie, a red cattle x staffy. He is now 4 years old and a real Mum's boy. He is a very well behaved and loyal man, and I have honestly never felt the connection to a dog that I feel to Robbie. I have recently bought a kayak and i cannot keep Robbie out of it. I have bought him a life jacket and we go kayaking together on the river. He has only been to the vet for his annual check-up and vaccinations, otherwise he enjoys a perfect bill of health.
The second hound I adopted is Bob, and Irish Wolfhound x mystery breed! Bob was 5 months old when I picked him up and he is now 3 years old. I bought Bob for my father for his 70th birthday. Sadly, my father passed away in January this year and left poor Bob behind. Bob misses him dearly and spends quiet time sitting at the foot of my fathers bed.
Bob and Robbie live together now. They are the best of friends and we call them "brothers". Each morning when they wake they find each other and kiss each other good morning. They share all their toys quite happily and cry (howl) when they are separated. They were born to be together: The Odd Couple!!
Every year we go on the Million Paws Walk for the RSPCA and a while back they won a photography session as a prize. We went off to Centennial Park to have the photos taken, all clean after being at the groomers, and they loved every minute of it. It was very difficult for the photographer to get shots of them separately as they just wanted to be together! A sign of true brotherly love.
 I can not sing the praises of your organisation enough. Both my boys were healthy happy pups when I adopted them and have continued to be so ever since. They have lovely temperaments and there is not a hint of aggression in either dog.
It is a great way to add a pet to the family and I will certainly never buy another dog, or cat, or any other animal from a breeder when I can adopt them and rescue them from the doom of the pound and/or death row.
I think both my boys know that they have been 'rescued' and are very grateful. They seem to show a special kind of loyalty that I have not seen in dogs from a breeder.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Emily Patterson
Robbie was adopted on 16/11/05 after 1 month in foster care. Bob was adopted on 12/8/06 after 3 weeks in foster care.

Hi Shareen,
How are you? I must apologise for the delay in sending through an image of Bella (nee Christina). She has grown a lot in the last month or so and the kids just adore her. She has the most beautiful nature and is very patient with the two little girls that just love her to bits.
She has fitted perfectly into the family unit. Please find a photo attached that we would be happy for you to use on the DCH website.
Trust that you are well. All the best,
Heather
Christina was adopted on 14/07/08 after 2 weeks in foster care.

Cherry

Hi
My name is Glenys and I adopted a dog by the name of Cherry
back in July
Firstly she has settled in extremely well and all our animals get on
well together - the day we got Cherry we also picked up a 12 week old
teacup poodle named Cleopatra who was with us when we picked Cherry up
and they bonded immediately - at home we also have 2
kelpie/cattle/border collie crosses who are about 18 months old - they
also bonded very well with both Cherry & Cleo.
I did take Cherry to my vet to get her ears checked and get the ear
cleaner that I was told about due to the ear infection she had when your
organisation found her. My vet found a mild heart murmmer this
by no means turned us off taking her and my vet has assured me that she
is not having any problems but could be affected as she gets older.
Cherry is very active and as we have now moved out onto a small property
has much more exercise - Cleo and Cherry live inside and sleep with us,
and they rough house quite often with Whiskey and Brandy. Cherry has
really bonded with me and I am rarely out of her site, she sleeps with
my husband and I (as does Cleo) I think we are going to have to get a
bigger bed very soon, We love her dearly and is a very much loved family
member.
I do hope you can update your site with info that she is in animal
paradise (we are animal lovers ).
Cheers
Glenys
 
Cherry was adopted on 04/07/08 after 4 months in foster care.

Judy,
 Just thought I would send you a photo of Sassy. I adopted her from you early in May. Your son was sad she was leaving and I just wanted to let him know that she is very happy and a very spoilt puppy dog. I would have sent you this photo earlier, however Sassy took some paperwork I had sitting on the coffee table and chewed it up into little pieces. One of the things she chewed was the paperwork you gave me that you wrote your email address on, the only thing retrieved was your phone number. I called today and spoke to your husband and got your email address.
Can you please let your boy know that she is very happy, and is running our household. I have a very big garden and she loves to dig and play in it day after day. She is healthy and I love her to bits, she is great company and is just what I needed and I think I am just what she needed, lots of love, affection and attention.
Thank you for such a nice little puppy dog.

Hi Judy,
My name is Kris and I am the very lucky person who adopted Muffin last month.
I just wanted to write to let you know that Muffin is settling in wonderfully. My two children absolutely adore her and there’s no shortage of pats and snuggles.
I would also like my heartfelt thanks and appreciation passed on to Lauren Tasker for the care she took looking after Muffin before we adopted her. She was wonderful to deal with and I know that without her care Muffin would not be the beautiful dog she is today.
Thank you all very much.
Kris, Paul, Corinne, Hayden and Muffin.
Muffin was adopted on 28/06/08 after 1 month in foster care.

Suzie

Hi Selena
 Suzie is doing realy well. She runs to greet us from where ever she is
every time we come home. She is starting to spend more time outside
especially on her own and she absolutely adores the kids. She isn't
scared
of them at all, that is unless they keep harrassing her which is when she
hids under our bed. That doesn't happen often though.
She even sleeps on
my oldest son's bed through the day and sometimes hops on the kids beds at
night before we go to bed. When she is outside she does like to have a
game with the birds. She stalks them but could never catch them as she
gives herself away by meowing as she is creeping up on them!
I have attached some photos of Suzie for you. The one called Suzie was
taken the second night she was with us, Apologies for the quality they were taken on a mobile
phone.
We all love her to bits and are so glad she is part of our family.
Melaine
Suzie was adopted on 12/07/08 after 1 year in foster care.

Bluebelle

Hi Danielle,
Bluebell or Isabella as she is now called has settled in well. In fact she acts as if she owns the place. Yes we do see the princess trot and she definitely required a comfortable couch to sleep on. She is also very good at trying to con us about how many times she has been fed and is a bit heavier than she was when we first got her home, although we are watching that. We are not keen on a pyjama case for a cat. Thanks again for your advice on settling her in. It was very useful.'
Kind regards
Bluebelle was adopted on 13/07/08 after 2 months in foster care.

Little Boo and Tiger

Hi Megan
I got 2 male kittens via your organisation last year in April. I picked them up from a family in Bella Vista. I just thought to let you know that Timmy (black) and Toby (tabby) are doing very well. A photo is attached. They are HUGE cats (not fat, just long and tall) with long hair. They have the run of the house and garden during the day and are kept indoors at night. Needless to say that they are boss - still trying to fight it out among themselves exactly who of them is the head honcho as they are brothers and about equally strong. I don't know what I did before they arrived ... certainly less vacuming! They are much loved - I think one of your success stories.
Best regards
Monika Rickli
Little Boo and Tiger were adopted together on 21/04/07 after 2 weeks in foster care.
