Hi PAWS Chicago!
I
just wanted to let you know that Maya is doing
wonderful! Here is a picture that was taken today.
She has grown so much since I adopted her on June 2,
2002. Keep up the great work!

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 |

I adopted Tuxedo in April of 2001 while working for PAWS
Chicago. At that time I also had another dog named Jessie. She
was a shepherd mix, ten years old, and my best friend. Jessie
died of a very aggressive cancer on December 4, 2001. She was
diagnosed with cancer only six weeks before. This was total
devastation for both me and my husband. It was truly the most
difficult, sad time of my life. Tuxedo was there for me. He
could not take the pain away, but he did buffer it just enough
to make it tolerable. |
| I used to compete with Jessie in agility matches and now hope to
continue this tradition with Tuxedo who is quite talented at it
(and currently in agility training). We have grown even closer
since Jessie has passed and are becoming quite the team! - Jeanine Sweeney |

Hi!
We got Bart from PAWS about one
month ago. He is doing fantastic despite his cruel
treatment in the past. Bart sleeps every night
between his mom and dad on a king size bed!
Bart loves to go to Glendale Heights on the weekends
to the doggie park and swim with his friends. Bart
is not a fan of
dog treats, except Frosty Paws which he gets everyday. He is our bundle of joy. Thank you! |

I worked as a volunteer for PAWS
Chicago when you first opened on Clark St. and still
placed dogs there. My wife, Jenna, and I fell
in
love with a red Doberman Pinscher, Gabi,
which we adopted
on August 13, 1998 (almost 4
years!). My landlord evicted us as a consequence,
but she was well worth it. We have since added our
first two-legged baby, Joseph, born May 30th, seen
here with Gabi. They are quickly becoming friends. - Rafi

My wife and I went to the PAWS Adoption Center a
few months ago and asked which cat had the least chance of ever
being adopted. They, without hesitation, pointed out a withdrawn
black cat named Shayna. We were surprised that she hadn't been
adopted in the many months she lived at the center, because she
was very pretty. (Read
more on Olive!) |

I want to thank PAWS
Chicago for the opportunity they gave me to meet and
adopt my little Mary (formerly known as
Marief). Despite the age
difference, both girls are getting along better than
I had expected. Inside of a week they were sharing
the same space! What a joy having Mary in our
home! |

Hi there!
I have adopted two dogs
from PAWS. Spirit who I adopted in April of
99 is the Sweetest Dog ever. He was so great that I
decided to adopt another dog from PAWS to keep him
company. So, I adopted Barkley October 2001. She didn't like Spirit when
she first met him, but now they are inseparable. I wanted to THANK YOU for the
GREAT JOB you are doing in raising awareness about homeless pets, and trying to
help the problem. :) |

I also wanted to THANK PAWS for the 2 wonderful additions to my family. Thanks, Chrissy |

Hi PAWS Chicago,
It was all because of Joe, the 3 year old cat I adopted
from PAWS, that I met my husband. While waiting for PAWS
to open, I went to the Earl of Lochness to have a late lunch. I engaged in a
conversation with a visitor from out of town. Little did I know that I would end
up marrying him! I fell in love twice that day! Now, we all live together
happily in St. |
Louis (along
with my first cat, Denby), as one big happy family. Thank you, PAWS!

Dear PAWS Chicago,
I was the
foster home for “Patty” (now named “Morgan”). After about a week, I
decided I couldn’t live without her so I adopted her. Well, she’s been just
great since then. We started puppy class last night and she is the star pupil,
not to mention that she is also the cutest dog there. Recently, her coat has
turned more brownish, from the black it was when I adopted her. She is
also getting big, she probably weighs almost 25 |
 |
pounds. I’m also pretty sure she has some pit bull in her, and that’s what gives
her the cute ears she has. I’ve attached a recent picture of her for you to see.
I just wanted to drop you a note and give you an update on her and tell you how
great she is and how happy we both are.

First off, I would like to thank
you for giving me the best thing that I could ever ask for: Jordy. I
adopted her from the Orland Park PETCO this past summer. I was
told that she was a loving dog -- well you guys were
right. It was a little rough for her at first, but we have made
it. All it took was two times at obedience school and she is a
charm now. Everyone gets a kick out of how much she
enjoys water whether it comes from a hose, hydrant,
faucet or wherever. She will
stick her whole head in the bucket of water or |
|
|
|
chase the water down the driveway when I am spraying it from the
hose. She has fit in perfectly and has gained weight. She gets
very excited when people come to visit -- she does her psycho
runs through the house. She makes me laugh everyday. So once
again, "thank you" and keep up the good work!!! - Beth

Just wanted to let you know how my
precious Eloise (PAWS name Libby)
is doing. We bonded from the first day. She is
adorable, smart, adventurous and loves to cuddle.
She is everything a cat should be and more. She is
so special. She is loved and spoiled, and we are
both enjoying being together. She loves to eat and
has filled out. I've also sent a donation so you can
continue making other people and animals as happy as
we are. Thanks PAWS, Fran Karp |

My name is Casey (Johnny was my PAWS name), I was
adopted
in August of 1999. I was in several homes before I was adopted by my human mom. I was very skinny (I
didn't like to eat), nervous and hyperactive. Now I
am very happy living in our new home, which has a
yard (I would be happier
without
the hat!). I have gotten used to my surroundings, I
am not so nervous anymore, and I really like to eat
now! I
have a dog brother
too, he was also a rescue dog. We enjoy going up to
Wisconsin to visit my human |
|
|
grandma and grandpa where they own 40 acres - we get to run
around like maniacs! I have found that I have a special
talent for agility activities too. Thanks to PAWS for helping
me! |

Hi PAWS!
We adopted Bela from a PAWS
event at Fido's Bakery on a perfect spring day
in January! She was the first puppy we saw when
we walked in and it took about 2 seconds to
decide she was the one. She has been a loving
addition to our family.
Thank you!
