To My Dear Rescuers at HHS:   This is Chanel (far left in picture and known as Hanna before I brought her home).  Chanel is a Chinese Crested and was rescued from a puppy mill in Houston in January of 2011.  I want to thank you so much for allowing me to adopt this precious little thing.  She has become part of my family and her brother and sister, Gucci and Lola, also Chinese Crested, love her as much as I do.  After falling in love with her, I found out she had tested positive for heart worms.  A little hesitant and scared at first to put Chanel through the treatment due to her poor condition, I could not resist and found it my personal mission to bring this little angel back to good health.  I am happy to report that Chanel has gone through the treatment program and has just recently been re-tested for heart worms and has tested negative!!!!   The M Family

 

 

I adopted both Jinger and Madison through HHS.  Jinger was adopted 3 years ago and Madison about 4 months ago.  I brought Jinger with me to help me decide which dog to bring home.  After seeing 6 dogs I couldn't decide and Jinger did not seem to interact with any of them.  They had two more dashounds left to see.  They brought Madison in and Jinger and Madison where acting like long lost friends.  So Madison came home with us that day.  Madison had heartworms and was treated and is perfectly healthy now.

 

Timber, a Siberian Husky/Akita/Golden Retriever mix, was adopted on January 14, 1998.  He was just 11.5 weeks old.  This year, on November 1st, Timber will be 14 years young.  Timber has never met a person or a dog that he hasn't liked.  Timber is a charmer and a love dog... always willing to give you a lick or nuzzle whether he just met you today or has known you his whole life.

 

Timber has helped at volunteer events for Husky Haven, Texas Alaskan Malamute Rescue and the Houston Humane Society and pawtipates annually in the K9 Fun Run (so far he has attended 13 years in a row) and the Houston Aeros Chilly's Pet Pals nights.  Timber also has birthday pawties and asks for donations to HHS instead of gifts... he knows there are animals that have not found their forever homes yet.  Timber was a certified therapy dog when he was younger and still gives his own medicine to people that he thinks needs it by walking up and giving kisses to anyone who will let him.

 

Timber is a special type of dog.  He may not always be the healthiest (especially now that he is older) but he is determined to make the most of every situation, never judges, is nice to everyone, always patient (even with foster puppies and petsit pups that stay with us) and he never complains when volunteering for entire weekends of pet rescue events.  It's hard to believe he has been my best friend for so long.  He is always willing to listen and offer a wag or lick when I need it.

 

I can't thank the Houston Humane Society enough for giving him a chance and letting him be part of my life.  He and I have grown up together and I can't think of a better "person" to grow up with.

 

Kindest Wishes,

LM

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wilma and Chocula are doing wonderfully well.  Chocula attended puppy classes earlier this year in order to socialize her.  She is a bit anti-other animals (except the ones in the household) but loves people.  She loves to play and has a couple of toys that rarely leave her mouth (as you can see in the photo)!  Both she and Wilma have learned the basic obedience commands and are absolute loves!  With 4 dogs in the household, they have all learned to take turns getting one-on-one lovin' time.... then there are the "dog pile on mom" times as well!  Wilma is absolutely amazing!  Given her history as a puppy mill dog, you would expect all sorts of issues... but she is one that you just can't ruin!  She is loving and wants nothing more than to be around you.  She has "her" spot on the sofa... edged up against the arm.  You would never guess her background or that she is blind in one eye and toothless!

 

I want to thank all of you at the Houston Humane Society for caring so deeply for these two precious girls and waiting for the perfect "match"... they are a very special addition to our home!

Here is our beautiful little Sealy girl! She was formerly known as Shiva. This dear little dog was rescued from a puppy mill last year in Panola County. She was heartworm positive and had to undergo treatment. She coughed for a few months following treatment but happily is healthy and energetic now. She has totally outgrown her shyness and has become a real lap dog. She loves playing with her BT cousins and her 2 big sisters. Still doesn’t like her baths, though. We are so grateful to have her. Thank you HHS for rescuing this animal and others.   The H Family...

Hello HHS family, I just want to thank you so much for Louie, he was known as Balatzahar while he was in your care.  Louie is super duper loved and is enjoying his forever home.  I adopted Louie back in 07/2010 and he is the best dog I could ever ask for.  He attends doggie day cares and also social play time and dog parks.  Louie just recently had a birthday, 07/20/2011, and I celebrated it.  I bought him his own doggie cake and bought him lots of presents which he loved!  I want to thank the HHS family for bringing Louie into my life.  As you can see he is doing wonderful and loving life.   M
