We weren't even sure
about getting a dog, but once we went to Angels with Tails in
September, it was a forgone conclusion. Howie is 6 months
old and is still very puppyish. His favorite thing is dog parks
where he tussles with dogs and runs through the grass. He's not
very big or fast, but he's fearless and takes on all comers (he
loses sometimes). He likes tug-of-war, keep away and devouring
toys. With every squeaky toy, he rips it open and . |
|
relentlessly tears its insides until he gets to its squeaky heart - it's quite
funny to see. Thank you PAWS! |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
We adopted Abby (PAWS name Lacey) on
April 18th at the Old Orchard adoption event, and she is a wonderful
puppy. She’s four months old now and growing really fast. In fact,
she’s almost twice as big as she was when we took her home! She’s very
sweet and smart, and she loves to give kisses and get her belly rubbed.
She also loves going for walks around the neighborhood and greeting everyone she
sees, and she has
been a
|
 |
|
wonderful addition to our household. We’re so happy to have her!

Dear PAWS,
I wanted to let you know that Nelson is doing great! He
is such a joy to Clare and I. He is very well-behaved, loves to
play and loves to relax! He loves looking out my windows (I'm on
the 22nd floor) to watch the city. Also, the Gentle Leader works
like a charm. He never pulls!
Sincerely,
Walter, Clare and
Nelson |

Dear PAWS,
As I am approaching my birthday, I would like to share with you
this latest picture of me on my favorite couch. I am
resting after a day of eating, running, playing, and waiting for
better weather. My name is Haley, and I will be
celebrating my second birthday with my family in Chicago.
I thank you for finding me such a great home and my family
thanks you for giving them such an exceptional member of the
family. Happy Birthday to me and |
 |
|
kudos to PAWS Chicago on your good
work! On behalf of myself and my four legged cousins all
over the Chicagoland area. Gratefully yours, Haley |

Dear PAWS,
We adopted Charlie (PAWS name Milford) at an adoption
event in Winnetka on Valentine's Day. After sleeping much
of the first day, he's been on the go ever since! We
started a puppy training class, and Charlie's favorite part is
wrestling with the other puppies (many of whom outweigh him by
30 pounds!). Although between the playing, we somehow
managed to learn sit and down. :) He's very outgoing and |
|
loves interacting with all kinds of dogs and people. Thank
you so much for your hard work and for helping Charlie find a
home with us. We look forward to watching him learn and
grow. THANKS!! - Amy, Ryan and Charlie |

Quinn (adopted 12/98) and Kylie
(1/01) are very happy and doing well. They have adjusted
very well to having a little human sister, Catalina. They
especially love walks, or just sitting around watching Blues
Clues. Their favorite game is waiting for food to fall from
the high chair. Thank you PAWS for finding these wonderful
family members.

Dear PAWS,
Chip and I (Sam, formerly known as Buzz) are pictured having our
annual alumni meeting and dinner. I have to send you this message because
Chip is still too young and doesn't know how to use a keyboard yet. Dad
says I am especially well behaved and next year he will have me answering the
phone! Life is really good here, but don't get mad if I tell you I really
don't miss being at PAWS anymore. Chip and I are getting spoiled!
Good luck finding nice homes for the rest of the gang down
|
|
there. See ya! - Sam (PAWS name Buzz) |

Dear PAWS,
We adopted Julia just a little bit ago. Within a couple
days Julia bonded perfectly with our other cat, Meow Meow. We
got a bigger bed for them and now sleep together all the time!
They love cuddling and wrestling with each other. They are the
best of friends. I'm so glad they have each other's
companionship. Thanks for the new addition to our home.
Sincerely, Pete and Roxana |

Dear PAWS,
Salem
(PAWS name Joy) is a wonderful addition to our family.
We adopted
her
almost 3
weeks ago and
she
has
already settled into a routine with her 2 other feline
sisters and one canine brother. Salem is very talkative
and announces to everyone when it is meal time and when it
is time for treats.
When Salem
came to PAWS, she was pregnant and had a broken leg. You
would never know that she had
a rough
start as she is
|
|
affectionate, social and very agile
(the plants have had to be moved up higher). Thank you so much
for finding her. -

Hello PAWS!
I just wanted to
let you know that I am having a great time with Lori and John.
We go to the park every morning to play fetch and we go for a
walk every evening, so I get a lot of exercise. When I am not
chasing after a ball or |
 |
|
 |
|
exploring Bucktown, I have fun
practicing all of the things I learned at obedience class.
(Would you believe I get treats just for sitting and staying and
doing “high five”? It’s a pretty good gig!!!) After a long day, I
like to relax on my dog bed and look cute. Thanks, PAWS, for
giving me a second chance and for taking such good care of me
until I found my own people! Love, Briar |

Hi PAWS!
Just
wanted to drop a note to say thanks to all the good people at
PAWS for helping me get a good home. The food is great, I get
lots of exercise and I even have my own couch to lie on! If you
call, just tell my secretary that you're from PAWS and she'll
put the call right through.
Thanks again,
Samantha (PAWS
name Buzz) |

Hello!
Our names are Mickey and Perry (PAWS names Louise
and Helen), and we were adopted from PAWS this past September. We
wanted to let everyone know that we're doing great in our new
homes. We live in the same apartment building and we see each
other everyday in the backyard. Our hobbies are digging,
spilling water bowls and playing tug-of-war. We also love to
take naps together. Thank you, PAWS, for taking care of us |
 |
|
|
until we found our
homes. We love our parents and they say we're the best doggies in
the world. |

We adopted Daisy
(PAWS name Prancer) on January 4th. Laura and Margaret were our
adoption counselors, they were so helpful and answered all our
questions. We are amazed at Daisy's good behavior. She is potty
trained and knows how to "sit". The people involved with PAWS
did such a great job in her early life. She sleeps on her bed
(which is next to ours) at night and is very content. When we
are at work, she escapes from the kitchen and moves her little
butt right on the living room couch. When we |
|
|
are not home, she behaves so well, I am stunned. PETsMART has
become our new favorite hangout. I can't help but buy her
presents and spoil her like crazy. She starts puppy obedience
class there on the 24th. I'm excited to have her meet other
dogs. She has brought such fun to our home. I run home to see
her and look forward to the weekends when I can spend all day
with her. I assure you that she will have a warm, loving life as
long as she is in our care.

Dear PAWS Chicago
Thanks so much for
helping us to adopt Booda. He is very much at home now. He is
healthy, and likes to sleep next to us and sit on our laps. He
is a wonderful cat.

Hi PAWS,
Greta and
Alice (PAWS names Rosemary and Thyme) are so adorable. Everyday
they open up a little bit more, become a little more social and a lot more
mischievous! Their favorite activity is chasing each other around the apartment
at full speed. They have made themselves a little obstacle course -- including
either running under the bed or over it as we are sleeping. They love their toys
and continue to be good eaters. Alice (striped |
|
nose) is slowly but surely turning into a lap cat. Greta is a bit more
tentative, but loves to be petted when she is eating. |
