Progress Made This Week

Six adoptions this week.  Henny, one of our longest residents has gone to his new home.  The reports we are receiving have been nothing but fabulous.  Henny is curious and exploring his new surroundings.  The front glass storm door has taken a couple hits of Henny's head, but his owners think he gets it now! Henny has been a perfect gentleman.  Even when I took him to the clinic for neuter surgery last week, people in the waiting room stopped me and asked if he was still up for adoption.  Wow, why was Henny here so long if he is such a good boy?  Most likely because his breed is pitbull.

Pierre, the Bichon Frise who was featured in the Ladybug Halloween costume last month, has also gone to his new home.  While at the shelter, Pierre hung out in the office with me, FB and Nickel our resident cats, and Munchkin a pomeranian.  Munchkin is a 10-12-year-old pomeranian who is very spunky for his age.  The very kind woman who has adopted Pierre will be coming in next week to take Munchking home too.  Pierre and Munchkin have become great friends during their time here at Almost Home.  I'm sure they will be wonderful in their new home together.

A few months ago three Cocker Spaniels were found as strays. All were within a few blocks of each other.
They also all had the same crazy haircut, which was not very attractive.  The youngest of these cockers is a little female named Sterling.  Sterling is going home on Monday.  Sterling has been spayed and Best Friends in West Berlin, NJ gave her a beautiful new haircut and bath.  She really looks like a purebred cocker spaniel now.  I'm sure she will be a wonderful new addition to her new family.

Our big, very handsome boy, "Ross" a grey tabby, also went home with his new family this week.  "Ross"  will have two little girls beds to chose from for napping. "Ross"  was abandoned if front of Almost Home.  He is a perfect gentleman and I'm sure his new family will fall in love with him quickly.

I started this blog talking about Henny and what a good dog he is.  The only reason Henny was here so long is because he had the words "Pitbull" next to his name.  Genna is another one of our long term residents and Genna is another great dog.  Genna actually has been put to work by Steve, our Dog Trainer.  Steve has been working with Genna on a regular basis.  She is very smart and learns quickly.  Genna is always ready to learn something new.  Genna has actually been helping Steve to train other dogs who aren't so dog freindly. Genna walks right next to them, confident and freindly, showing them they don't have to be afraid.  While Genna loves working with Steve, she would be much happier if she could have a home of her own.   We are looking for a special home for Genna.  Genna is not the kind of dog who is going to be happy just laying around the house or left out in the backyard.  Genna will get bored.  Genna would like to live with an active family who will take her for walks, hikes and runs.  With some work, Genna would make a great pet therapy dog.  Genna would like to live with people who will allow her to be an vital, active part of their pack.  Please stop in and meet Genna or pass this information to anyone you know who might be interested in giving Genna a home. 

Of course, if Genna is not the dog for you, please take a look at our other dogs on Petfinder.com.  We have all sizes, shapes, colors and temperaments.  We have couch potatoes, lap dogs and class clowns too. Tweet This
