Moe, Come Play With Us!
Larry, Moe and Curley were three 5-week-old Lab Mixes that were
rescued by a kind police officer and made their way into my
house via PAWS. They looked like little black piglets, clucked
like chickens and bounced about like little bunnies. Larry was
the sweetest and least demanding, he was just happy to be held
and get his share of soft-boiled egg and puppy food. Curley was
the largest and biggest baby, whimpering and shaking for
attention and love. Moe was the most |
| advanced and worldly of the three - he led the escape under
the kitchen gate to the rest of the house on the second day.
He always had to rearrange the fresh bedding for the group.
He was the alpha doggie, the boss. Larry now lives in
NW Indiana suburbs. Curley was adopted by me, his
foster mom, and is the city slicker of Wicker
Park, tolerating two resident cats. These two
brothers romp and play together in town or at the
Dunes; playing with sticks in the water or
on land is the most fun. They wish they could meet
up with the wise one, Moe. All are about 10-11
months as of this letter. Larry is now known as
Chippie, and Curley goes by Chuckie or Chuckie
Cheese, and whatever Moe's new name is, we'd
love to see him. Come play with us. Thanks, PAWS, for
these wonderful pooches, Chuckie's adopted mom, Karen
Linden. |

Just wanted to
drop you a line with a few pictures. My wife and I
adopted Pete (now Foster) an Australian Shepard mix Sunday,
October 6th at the Run for Their Lives race. He has been a
wonderful addition to our growing family (Abbey-cat, Piddle- turtle, tank full of fish) & an incredible companion. We just wanted to thank you for the honorable service you provide in fostering so many home deserving animals &
working so diligently towards a no-kill future. Thanks again,
Lyle & Jennifer Healy |

Here is a photo of Gidget,
who was adopted nearly two weeks ago from PAWS.
At first she was timid and reserved, but now she
is an energy-filled machine. I am grateful that
PAWS Chicago saved her and did not allow for her
litter to be destroyed.
Thank you PAWS,
Brent

Hi PAWS!
This is me with my new cat, Jerry. I was lonely living all by myself, so
my niece and nephew were kind enough to give me Jerry as a Christmas gift this
year. Since they brought him to me, he has barely left my lap! I love to take
care of him, feed him, and give him lots of love and attention, and he returns
that love tenfold! We have become great friends. Even though my nephew
says I spoil Jerry with too many treats, I think he deserves them! |

Thank you, PAWS, for rescuing my new friend from the streets of Chicago. - Anne P. |

I am attaching a picture of three of
the Weimaraner pups adopted in January (Emma
- gray, Margo - brown and Bela - black). The three of us are in
touch (after randomly meeting at the beach one day this summer) and hope you can
help us meet the other litter mates (I think there were 7-9 total!). We
celebrated the girls' first birthday last Wednesday and hope to have many more
parties with |
| additional siblings! Thank
you! - Angie |

Wanted to write to let you know how two former PAWS
cats are doing. Maura
("Annie", adopted May 2001) transitioned
beautifully to our home; we opened
the carrier door, she sauntered out, laid down on a
rug and took a nap.
Napping is her main activity; she mixes it
up by
seeking new napping places,
including the too small shoebox in the picture. She
ended up crushing that box and has now moved on to a tall boot box. Maura
is afraid of nothing,
very talkative and loves to be brushed. Tyra |
|
| ("Stella", November 2001) is
the opposite of Maura. She is curious, playful and
shy. Tyra
loves to play
with her toys, lay in sunny spots and get her belly
rubbed while she
stretches across the morning paper. The two get along
like little sisters: often bickering and teasing each other,
playing their daily games of tag and hide-and-go-seek, and when
they think no one is looking |
 |
| they will
nap near each other, often with one resting an outstretched paw
on the other. Thanks for introducing us to these two cool cats! - Jennifer Lucas and David Holdreith |

I recently attended the CB2uesday
event and was
asked how Lorenzo (now known as Porter)
was
doing. I adopted Porter during the September 7th PETCO adoption event and since then he has quickly
proven himself an intelligent companion. In the past
two months, he has mastered a few tricks: sit,
lay
down, up, roll over, shake, high five, sit-stay,
and when I set his food bowl down, he waits until I
tell him
his food is ready! I have not even had a chance
to take him to doggie school yet! His next
few tricks are |
| speak and wag the tail. Around town, he knows how to ham up
to everyone with his ears . . . ears up, ears back, one ear
up, the other ear flopping over. He definitely knows how to
be the center of attention! Porter sends thanks to those who
fostered him during his stay with PAWS and for all the
attention you gave him. Thanks again, Dave |

Quinn and Kylie are our
angels with tails. They have truly been wonderful
members of our family. Quinn was adopted December
1999 and Kylie was adopted January 2001. We have
also gotten involved with PAWS as Adoption
Counselors. We looked forward to volunteering three
times a month, until recently, when we welcomed our
first baby into this world. We still plan on
volunteering with PAWS, because we enjoy to working
with the dogs. - Julia and Richard Fernandez |

Dear PAWS,
Lucy has
turned out to be the best roommate I could wish for.
She has introduced me to some of my best friends,
and two years later, Lucy and I brought home Sophie.
Now I can't imagine my life without either one of
them. Thank you PAWS for introducing me the Chicago
canine culture.

Hi!
This is Julius. He is now
about eight months old. He overcame his shyness
after living with us for only two days! We really
enjoy him, he's quite a character. He's a good boy
and spoiled rotten. We love him lots.
Thanks!

Thank you so much
for introducing us to Pablo & Oliver.
We were amazed at how quickly they adjusted to a
new
environment and how quickly we fell in love with
them! They
amuse us daily with their antics and are sweet
as can be -they love to watch the water in the shower from
between the
shower curtains, watch the birds in the yard
from the window-sills, and cuddle with us at bedtime. After just three weeks, we
couldn't imagine life without them. Thanks
again, Kourtney Vahle & Brooks Ralston |

I had never had a dog and really
didn't have any interest in having one. However, my
fiancée loves dogs and wanted one very badly,
especially after I bought a house with a fenced
yard. Well, on her birthday (Oct. 2000) I thought I
would make it special by telling her I would be
willing to get a dog. To make a long story very
short, the dog has totally changed my life so much so that I named a website after
him.
The
happy Hodge handler,
Matt. |

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Here is a picture of our dog, Sam.
We adopted him at the Angels with Tails on
Armitage in August of 1999. He is the best thing
that has ever happened to us. He is such a
snuggle monster!
Thanks, PAWS!
