Hi PAWS!
My name is Bailey and I am a puppy that was recently adopted from
PAWS. Most of you may know me as Donnie; the 4-month-old, 10-pound,
wiry white pup. My foster family had me for a mere 36 hours when they
decided they couldn't part with me, gave me my new name, and made me a part
of their home. Even though I am the first male dog to be introduced into the
Walter family, I fit right in with my fellow white-haired sister, Sophia the
Maltese. We're not quite sure what
|
breed I am, but everyone agrees I am cute, so that's OK by me! Since I've been
in my new home, I have grown to be a healthy 21 pounds and the vet says I may
even reach 30 pounds! I have made many new friends in the city and enjoy my
morning walks along Lake Michigan. My many thanks to PAWS for all the hard work
finding me my new family - I am so grateful!

Dear PAWS,
This is Frankie (PAWS name Frank), just one of the dogs that was
rescued from Hurricane Katrina. He recently celebrated his first
birthday. I am so happy that PAWS brought Frankie and me together. He
is so friendly, loving, and entertaining. I can't imagine my life now
without him. Thank you!

Hello PAWS! Here is a picture of my two kitties I got from PAWS about 2 ½
months ago. Their names while they were at PAWS were Denise (who we
now call Leia) and Vanessa (now known as Jezebel). They are
beautiful!! Leia is on the right... Thanks!

Hi PAWS,
Parker is doing so well! Every day she is more and more comfortable
and does something new. She LOVES my other cat Lorenzo. They bonded right
away and they cuddle, play, and clean each other. They are so cute together!
She comes out and plays when I call her name and really loves her toys, too.
Again, I am just so happy to have such a sweet girl! She has the cutest,
chirpy little meow that she talks to me and Lorenzo in. As the
|
 |
|
days go on and I spend more and more time with her, she keeps opening up and it
is so rewarding. Thanks again for all of your work. It is because of people like
you that Parker has a very happy home! - Tahiti Arsulowicz |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Sugar (PAWS name: LuAnn), is doing GREAT! She is growing like a weed
and has already gone with us on a camping trip. She has adjusted to our
kids, our other dog, and the house. The best news of all is that she is
almost potty trained! Thanks for a great experience.

Izzy and Bailey (PAWS names: August and January) are doing great!
When I first got Bailey she was shy and scared of people, but over the past
few weeks she has really opened up and now cannot get enough attention. She
is really a sweetheart. Izzy has been a little mischief-maker since I got
her and so she continually keeps me entertained. They are a wonderful
addition to my life. Thanks for everything! - Courtney Pigott

Hi PAWS,
I just wanted to send an update to all of you at PAWS regarding my adoption of
Augie (her new name is Sushi), the Pekingese that I adopted two weeks
ago. I'm incredibly lucky to have found her through your organization! Needless
to say, she is adjusting extremely well to her new home and is making many new
friends in our East Lakeview neighborhood! She's so easy-going and is always
happy to meet other dogs and people. |
It's great to have found a dog that everyone loves! I'll be taking her to
St. Louis with me over Labor Day to meet her Pekingese cousins, Rudy and Kobi, my parent's and brother's dogs. I
appreciate your help in my being able to meet Sushi right away and ultimately,
being able to adopt her immediately. She truly is the perfect match for me and a
wonderful new friend to come home to after a day at work and to hang out with
regularly. Thanks again!
Take care, Dorie Sher |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
My new kittens Basha (PAWS Name Basu) and Mozart are doing well. My
dogs are being very nice to their new kitty friends. Basha and Mozart are
not afraid of them in the least. Mozart lays in the doorway and when my dog
Zack walks by, he just rolls over. I have been trying to get a good group
picture of my family, but this is the best I could do so far. They all move
or look the other way just
|
 |
|
before I can snap the shot. Thanks again! Take care. - Diane Schneider |

It has been 4 weeks since I adopted P.J. (PAWS name Patsy). She is
getting relaxed and always purring and can be very sweet at times and her
personality is starting to come out everyday. Even in the morning about 3:30am
or 4:30am when she wants to eat and she try’s to open up the blinds and pull on
the knobs to get my attention but she is getting better about the time. She
loves to drink the water from the facet and likes to hear the sounds of the
water in the shower and I expect her soon to jump in. |
|
She follows me all around the house and loves to play with 3 little green frogs
that I had on my computer and now they’re hers. She loves to play with me and
I’m always throwing them and she catches them and brings it back to me. She
really acts like a dog instead of a cat; she is so smart and understands when
you say “No”. Lastly I took her to the Vet last week and she is 8 lbs and 6 oz
and they just fell in love with her. I couldn’t imagine life without her. Thank
you again PAWS – Paula Lavely |

Hello PAWS,
Here is a recent photo of Piper (formerly 'Lilac'.) She is
growing quickly and she enjoys going to puppy classes to play with other
pups. Her favorite toy is her quacking duck. Piper has been a welcome
addition in my life and home.
Thanks,

Dear PAWS,
Though we're not sure if it's your first, we're proud to tell you we now have a
PAWS blended family! I first adopted Lila (PAWS name Astrid) when I
started grad school three years ago, and have had so much fun with her in that
time. She's been a great constant companion, and even went home to my parents'
house for Christmas our first year, met all my friends, and now is queen of the
cat tree. The summer after I got her, I convinced my boyfriend he needed a cat,
too. He ended up coming home with a |
|
brother/sister pair, Hermes and Vesta (we didn't change their names),
from one of your foster families. They were a couple of crazy monkeys when he
got them, and it was all we could do to keep them off the computer keyboards and
everywhere else he was working! They're still feisty and playful at two and a
half years of age, but they got a new companion this year, when their dad and I
got married in March! We like to think they keep Lila young, and she keeps them
out of trouble. As you can see in the picture, they've adopted each other so
well, you can hardly tell they weren't ALL litter mates! So, we just wanted to
say thanks for giving us such great "kids," and a wonderful blended family!

Hi PAWS,
I'm absolutely blessed to have found Weezie. In the past couple of
months she's really opened up to me and her personality is shining through.
No matter the trouble or stresses of the day, she never fails to have me
laughing out loud. She's also won over the hearts of all of my family and
friends, even the ones who don't usually like animals. It's been great
because she received all of the necessary training and went
|
 |
|
through the puppy stages before I got her so our time together has been nothing
but wonderful. When people compliment me on what a great dog she is, I tell them
that I strongly encourage them to adopt from a shelter as an alternative from
"buying a puppy". Weezie says "hi and thank you." Take
care and good luck to you. - Heather Wilhelm |

Pancho and Tatum are doing well. Sometimes they play a little rough but
we like them and they seem happy here. They are both around 5 pounds now, so
they are growing up fast! I hope you are finding lots of homes for all the
other pets out there. We'll be ready again in about 15 years for another pair.

Dear PAWS Chicago -
Amanda (her name is now actually Stella) is doing great! I absolutely
love her. She sleeps with me every night and I even bought an air
conditioning unit for her so she doesn't overheat while I'm at work during
the day. I can suffer through the heat -- but I refuse to have my cat do so!
She's very spoiled. I could not be more pleased with her. She's such a
great
|
 |
|
companion. She follows me everywhere and is the best cuddler! PAWS
does such great work, especially with matching people with their pets.
Stella could not be a more perfect match for me. Best, Katharine Pflaum |

Hi PAWS,
Benito is wonderful!!! He has appointed himself "boss" of all our pets.
He is very, very well behaved and very friendly with the neighbors. He sleeps
right next to me every night and is my guard if anyone tries to get near me at
night. He is so cute! Thanks!

Hi PAWS Chicago,
Mrs. Norris, now called Izzy or Little Cat, is doing great! She has
become the queen of the house. She even bosses around my other cat and loves
to steal her toys. Both of them seem to tolerate each other, and I hope will
someday be friends. Izzy seems to prefer the company of humans more than
other cats. She is such a sweet, cuddly cat. We love spending Sunday
afternoons sitting on the couch together. She also finds it
|
 |
necessary to sit on top of me and my computer when I'm trying to work. Thanks!

Hello PAWS,
Lyos is wonderful! He has just completed week 3 of his puppy training
class. He has mastered a few basic commands, and we are working on improving his
leash walking. He actually walks well on a leash except when birds or other dogs
are around, but he is better every day. He is very affectionate, playful, and
happy-go-lucky when he is indoors but very serious and on patrol when we go out.
Strangers |
|
always walk up to me when I walk him to tell me what a beautiful dog I have. I
always tell them about PAWS and what a great place it is. Thanks to you and all
of the people at PAWS for the great work you do! - Lisa Richmond |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Barney is doing wonderfully! He is happy and
healthy and growing like a weed! He has put on about 10 lbs since the June 4th
Angels for Tails event on Michigan Avenue when we first picked him up. I'll have
to admit, there were other pups we were considering adopting that day, but the
second Barney was pulled from the van he stole our hearts! Everyday Barney
continues to learn more about his surroundings and were are currently attending
Puppy Kindergarten |
weekly. He is a very smart puppy, and at the young
age of 4 months has already learned to sit, down, and come. Some of Barney's
favorite things to do are taking long walks, chasing birds, flopping over on his
back to get belly rubs, and giving lots of kisses! He has become a little
spoiled in that he is constantly receiving attention when we walk down the
street. People can't get enough of him! He is honestly the cutest, most well
behaved puppy we could have ever wished for. Thanks again PAWS! Barney has
enriched our lives more than you'll ever know.

Bogey (PAWS name Amadeus) is doing great!! He just graduated
from his first session of dog school at Petsmart. He did great and made lots
of new friends. He is getting better but he just loves his new family. Who
could ask for more? We are looking forward to bringing him to the Run for
Their Lives event in October. He will definitely have his red bandana on.
Thanks again for such a great dog!!

Johnny & June are doing just great! They have both settled
into their new home beautifully. June is in love with Libby (their new feline
sister), and Johnny just wants to be held like a baby. I spoil them rotten, and
in return they are the sweetest most loveable dogs. I can't imagine not having
adopted the two together. Everyone at PAWS was so wonderful; the whole process
was fantastic. Thanks so much for the great work that you do!

Buster (formerly known as Darryl) is doing fantastic! He was
really quiet when we first got home, but as time has progressed his
little rascal side is definitely coming out! He is so spoiled and
totally loving it. I am taking him to get his first haircut this
weekend so that should be fun. He is definitely a lap dog and he still
constantly follows me around the house. Thanks!

Hi PAWS! Norman's new name is Casey, and he has quickly become a very important part of our family. He
thoroughly entertains us, and we find that everyday is a new adventure with
him! He is both quiet and lovable, and when interacting with us, he is
extremely playful, bringing about hours of fun! At first, Casey was timid,
but after only a few days, he warmed up to us, and we can't imagine our
family without him. Thank you so much for bringing Casey into our lives!
Sincerely, The Horst Family

 Hi PAWS Chicago!
The kitties are doing really well - they've grown so fast! We actually changed
their names from Gameboy to Monty and from Blackberry to Henry.
They're very cuddly and playful. I really couldn't have asked for better cats,
they're perfect. They've been the vet twice now to get updated for their shots
and checkups. No problems. Thanks, Megan Ochanpaugh |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
We have renamed Alex as George and he seems to like it. He has
adapted well to our house. He gets a little angry if you over pet him too
much. He lets us know when he is hungry by nipping at our legs. It is not
too bad, but he wakes me up at 4:30 on the dot every morning. Pretty much
what you would expect from a neutered adolescent human with no thumbs. :) -

Hi PAWS,
Sinatra (now named Dr. Jones) is doing great. Here's a picture of him
(the big white one!) and our other cat Fritz. We followed your instructions and
kept them separated for a little bit, and as soon as we introduced them, they
were almost instant buddies. Jones is a sweetheart, and I would recommend PAWS
to anyone looking for a pet to adopt. We're so happy to have him, and Fritz is
happy to have |
 |
|
a playmate!
Thanks again for all of your help. - Nora Ferrell |

Hi PAWS,
Ramen (Symba) and Somen (Simian) - also known as the
Noodle Brothers - are doing great. We are still getting used to each other
and just when Rick and I think we have them figured out, they surprise us!
They both have such interesting and different personalities: Ramen loves the
brush, Somen thinks its his worst enemy. Ramen will play with anything that
moves, Somen needs the toy to come to him. Ramen meows and
|
|
purrs all the time, Somen is the silent type (unless you are trying to brush
him!). Ramen loves his cat food, Somen is in the kitchen constantly following us around
for handouts. We love them to death! - Michelle and Rick Kinney |

Hello PAWS Chicago,
Sweetie (PAWS name CeCe) is doing great. We just completed an eight
week training course and she graduated. She seems to have adjusted to living
in our home just fine, and we have all gotten used to being dog owners. When
she goes to be groomed, we all miss her so much. We love to take her out for
walks, but with the weather being so hot lately, she hasn't been out much.
When mom & dad are both
|
|
at work, she goes along with Kayla & Joey to grandma's for the day. She likes it
there too! In dog training, she learned sit, down, stay, and roll over. She is
getting lots of love here in her new home! - Tony & Jill Cannizzo |

Hello PAWS!
All is well with Prince; I am so happy to have him! I think he is glad to
be with me, too. He stays near me at the house and frequently wants to be pet.
He loves playing with his catnip toys, especially when I toss them in the air
for him to jump after and capture. He has been generally very well behaved too,
with the exception of his habit of waking me every morning around 4 or 5 |
 |
|
a.m., wanting
breakfast. That's a little too early! Regardless, he is very sweet and very
healthy. I'm attaching a photo of him in his kitty bed (from the day I brought
him home, actually). Isn't he beautiful! Thank you! - Amy J. Collins |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Betty, is now Cuddles. She is doing great! We are all trying to
stay cool in this blistering heat, and Cuddles being black, does not help
the situation. Cuddles is in puppy class at PetSmart in Downers Grove. She
is the "class clown." She really knows how to start the other dogs up, and
then the teacher needs to let them have play time. It is very fun to
watch the Border Collie in her come out when she plays with the other dogs.
She is always
|
|
trying to heard them together. Cuddles is also growing fast. When we took her
home June 4th from Angels with Tails on Michigan Avenue, she weighed only 6
pounds; now she is 22 pounds! She has become a BIG part of our family. Cuddles
has also helped our "social" life. We have 5 other dogs on our block and we have
become closer friends with the other dog owners because of her! Again, we want
to thank PAWS for a wonderful, playful, energetic, rambunctious, and most
importantly, fun dog. Keep up the good work! - Marc and Marla Spanjer |

Hello PAWS - Thanks for the follow up! Vern and Vaughn (now named
Ishmael and Munson) are doing wonderfully! They had a patchy start and
definitely needed tons of TLC when they were little, but they've grown into
loving, energetic, healthy kitty cats! They're so very much apart of the
family and we even refer to them as "the boys." Ishmael is much more
sensitive than Munson, but Munson is by far the bigger cuddler. They have
great personalities and genuinely love each other. I couldn't have asked for
better pets! I've enclosed a picture of them both cuddled together taking an
afternoon nap on our sofa blanket. Thanks again! - Chas Stoltz

Chula is doing wonderful! She's an absolute joy and is doing great!
She loves to play tug-of-war and we have so much fun with her. You'll

with her new family. Thanks for checking in on Chula. I'll be sure to
let her know!

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Lily (Felicity) and I are doing great! She got a little brother a month
ago and we are now a happy family. We go to the dog park almost every day so she
can visit with her friends. She is very social with other people and dogs. Her
and her brother Pierre have a dog walker that comes every day at lunch time to
give them some fresh air and a potty break. She is very good on a leash now. She
is an excellent big sister to Pierre, who is just 4 months |
 |
|
old. They take turns terrorizing each other. We will probably use our
lifetime membership at K-9 University in the Fall and go for a refresher course
just to keep things in check! - Lisa Riggle |

Hi PAWS Chicago!
Guapo is doing wonderfully. He is blending in very
well with my other two cats, even if they look strangely at him because of
that crazy energy kittens have. He is doing well, eating and sleeping like a

Hi PAWS! I just wanted to tell you how much we just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our little
guy. We did change his name from Boomer to Cooper B. Rabbit. Since he
shares many characteristics of a rabbit (looks, hopping, bouncing, and a pink
nose), we thought the name was a fitting one :) He was quite shy and reserved at
first, but it was quite obvious from the very beginning he just wanted some love
from someone. Each day he became more and more alive and here we are a few
months later with a "wild man" |
 |
|
on our hands. He sure loves to visit all of his friends at the dog park. Each
time we take him, he tires himself out pretty good that he sleeps for hours on
end afterward. He LOVES his walks and just LOVES the water. He really is quite a
character. We have found that we spend more time laughing at him than anything
else. Thank you. - Merideth Chopper |

Hi PAWS,
Oreo has just about gotten me fully trained! She's taught me how she
likes to play, what she likes to eat, and when she wants to eat it. She likes to
help me work by sitting in my lap and putting her little nose between my hands
right up against the keyboard. When she thinks what I'm typing isn't quite good
enough, she tries to take over by walking across the keyboard! - Wendy Grossman |

Hi PAWS Chicago,
Mica (PAWS name: Panther) is doing really well. It only took about a
week before he and my other two cats started to get along great. He's very
energetic and playful but eventually will tire himself out and just pass out
for a while. He's a wonderful addition to my family and I refer to him as a
"mama's boy." He follows me around everywhere and sleeps right next to me at
night. So, obviously there are no problems with him being overly
|
|
playful at night or noisy. I have so many picture of Mica, so it was difficult
to choose one, but I've attached the one I like best. - Michelle Arroyo |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
We adopted Roxy (PAWS name: Crystal) in May and now can't imagine
life without her. She's extremely affectionate and loving, very playful, and

we feel the same about her. Thanks PAWS!

Queen Latifah is doing great in her new home. She is such a joy to have
around. Every day, when I get home from work, she is waiting in the

everyone at PAWS for caring for Queen and being there with us every step

and seem happy. The passed the vet's exam with A+ health. Thank you so much!

Hi!
Evander is doing GREAT! I have renamed him Dio, and he
has really adapted well to his new home. My major concern was that he would not
get along with my other white cat, Hank, but they have become quite a pair. They
sleep together all day and play all night. It has really been a relief, since
the main reason I got another cat was to keep Hank company. Thanks so much!!

Hello PAWS!
I just wanted to tell you how much we love our little guy we
adopted from you. Just when we were looking for a playmate for our other
newly adopted cat, Baboo, we came across an adoption event at our
local bank. That's when we met our Little Beezer (aka Romeo at PAWS).
We couldn't resist him because he looked so similar to our other cat.
Little Beez now lives in Los Angeles and enjoys time watching the birds and
snuggling with his big
|
|
brother. I love what you are doing for homeless animals. Thank you! - Heather

Hi PAWS!
Sterling is doing great. We still see gradual changes in her;
she seems even more comfortable than before. We are anticipating that
she will continue to get even better as time goes on. When we were first
fostering her, she was pretty antisocial and scared, but now, after
we've adopted her, she seems pretty happy! Thanks!

Dear PAWS,
It has been a year since our two cats, Graphite and Leo and our
dog Bailey have passed away. We miss them. They had been with us many
years. We are both in our late sixties and decided we would not have any
more pets. Every now and then we would check out the PAWS web page just to
'look'. In May we saw Georgia, aka Malibu on your page. She was so
|
cute that we decided to go to Noah's Ark
just to 'see' her. We both fell in love. Lo and behold her sister,
Savannah, appeared on the scene. We were told that they were a pair and could
not be separated so we took both. We thought the pair should keep their names Savannah and Georgia. The two kittens are inseparable. They do everything
together, even the potty. They are naughty, fun, and lovable. My favorite is that
they have become my quilting companions. When I start to quilt, they sense it
and jump up on the table to sleep on the quilt I am working on. We love these
two sisters and looking for a small dog now. Thank you for giving them to us.

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Hi there! This is a new picture of the PAWS Alumni kitties
Kennedy, Roman, and Franklin (the three tiny kittens on the PAWS Chicago
flyers!). They already have their story and an older picture posted, but I
thought it would be nice to update the page with a more recent picture! They are
having a wonderfully spoiled life, and every time we go into a pet store or
other |
 |
|
establishment where the PAWS flyer is posted, we make sure to brag about how
those are OUR kitties! Hope you enjoy the picture!

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Dixie is now known as Pia and she's wonderful. We've just about
finished our second obedience class and she's great at it. She gets along
with other dogs and all people. I've had her groomed three times by two
different people and she's fine with that too. So all's well, thanks!

Dear PAWS Chicago:
Hello! My fiancé and I adopted Princess through the
Meet Your Match program in June. We renamed her Kaia Belle (or the artist
formerly known as Princess), and she has responded well to her new name. She was
a bit shy at first, but she has turned into a gregarious, playful pup! She loves
to chew on bones and play fetch. She gets along with all other dogs in our
family, at daycare, and at the dog beach. She |
 |
|
likes to cuddle up on the couch
with us at night, and she is a total sucker for a belly rub. She learned
housebreaking really quickly, and we have her in obedience classes now. She even
gets along with her two kitten brothers (who tend to ignore her for the most
part), and she thinks they are little dogs with which to play. Everywhere we go,
people tell us how beautiful, sweet, and well-behaved she is and we totally
agree. We couldn't imagine life without her, and we are so happy that she is a
member of our pack!

Dear PAWS Chicago:
Marigold's name has been changed to Femi which means Love Me in
Yoruba, a Nigerian language. She is doing great around children and
other dogs. She is a joy to us and everyone on the block.

Dear PAWS Chicago:
Marra has lived with us for a month now and we absolutely adore her. She
absolutely loves the kids and loves to wake them up in the morning. She gets
along with the other children and dogs on the block and we just totally love
having her as part of our family. I would like to thank all the people at
PAWS who helped with the adoption. They gave us some great advice about |
 |
|
owning a dog and the adoption process went very smoothly. I would recommend
anyone looking
for a dog to attend one of your events. Thanks again. - Donna Jonauskas |

Gracie (PAWS name Lydia) is doing great and loving her new home in
Florida. She loves her backyard and having room to chase Elli around and
drive her crazy. The heat has been an adjustment but Gracie is doing great
and growing daily. We are so thankful that Gracie ended up in our lives
since it happened by chance after all...or maybe not - I just couldn't leave
PAWS without taking a dog with me! :) Thanks for everything. It was great
working with you guys and hopefully I will see you all soon.

Dear PAWS Chicago:
Willow and Paisley (PAWS: Sedona and Soleil) have been my sweet girls for
over seven months, and I cannot imagine my home without them. Paisley greets me
at the door every evening and wakes me with head butts and purrs every morning.
Willow,
originally shy, now likes nothing more than a warm lap and a good brushing.
Perhaps most importantly, Willow and Paisley |
 |
are best friends and always together. Endless thanks to PAWS for our happy,
healthy family!
