Dear PAWS Chicago,
Here is a picture of Buddy
Hackett. We adopted him at Angels with
Tails in May 2001. He is the center of our lives
and has brought us much happiness. He is
still well known to PAWS - he is on your
website! He
still loves to give kisses. Let me tell ya, Buddy is one spoiled dog.

Just a note to let you know Dalton
(formerly Alf) is doing great. He
has a lot of friends he plays with everyday - 3
Golden Retrievers, a country dog named "Whizzer",
and my sister's four mutts next door. The mutts
hate all other dogs but Dalton. His favorite
buddy is "Ralph" down the road, who he
sees every day. Dalton is a great joy. When he
is out and about with me,
people flock to him and comment on how
incredibly cute and well behaved he is. The kids
at the city park especially like him because (I swear) he will |
 |
| go up the steps of the
jungle gym area by himself and choose one of the
five slides to go down. He then circles around
and chooses a different slide! No one nudges or
prompts him to do this... He just loves to go
down slides! Oh yes, he can also climb a ladder!

Dear PAWS,
I just wanted to thank you for our
new addition to the family. We adopted Faith (PAWS name "Pam") when we
went into Marshall Fields for coffee and saw her unbelievably beautiful blue
eyes. She is already absolutely LOVED by everyone. She even comes to work with
me once all the students leave. Within three days, she memorized how to get to
everyone's classroom in the building to get the most attention before anyone
leaves. |
|
She goes to the photographer on Friday for her first picture. Thanks again! Lori and Luis

Dear PAWS Chicago,
We adopted Mulligan from the
Armitage event on 8/11/02. We brought Mulligan home on 8/14/02. He has grown so
much in four days, so I wanted to send you a puppy picture right away. He is
already the hit of the neighborhood and an instant buddy of every dog and person
he encounters. So far he has an incredibly good demeanor and is learning
fast. He already knows "come" and "sit" and he can now climb stairs. Thank you, |
 |
| PAWS Chicago, for giving
us the opportunity to adopt such a wonderful family member. We'll send you more
photos after his kindergarten graduation! - Andrea, Chris and Mulligan Moran |

I am Haley, a
5-month-old Keeshond/Shepherd mix. Since I arrived
at my new
home, I have made many good dog friends. My best
friend is Archie, a
6-month-old Wheaten Terrier. All my friends come
over and play with me. I
love to give kisses and play with my squeak toys.
Thank you PAWS for giving
me such a loving family. Here are some pictures of
me when I first came home
and now.

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Chris and I have always had animals
in our lives, so the last three months felt
especially empty when we didn't have furry friends
to come home to at night. After receiving an
e-mail request for foster parents from PAWS, I
contacted Toni McNaughton, volunteer manager of
the Cat Adoption Center, who told me about two
wonderful special needs cats; Leo and Buddy. We went to meet them
and it was love at first sight! We adopted |
 |
| them both immediately.
Buddy sleeps with us every night, and plants himself on top of our heads to show his love. Leo adores Chris,
and reminds him at least five times a day. They have a window
perch for sunbathing, and Buddy likes to sit in my lap while I
surf the Net. We both feel the magic touch of our cats, and are
so happy that empty feeling is gone and that we were able to
give them a loving home. We thank PAWS for giving us such
wonderful gifts in Buddy and Leo. I also want to personally
thank Toni McNaughton, who went out of her way to introduce
us to the cats. - Dionna Hunger and Christopher

Dear PAWS Chicago,
When we walked into the PAWS adoption event at Marshall Fields, we had no idea
that we would be "adopted" ourselves by this beautiful girl. She has been an
absolute joy to have as part of our family. We can't get enough of her: rubbing
her belly, her kisses, her cute expressions, and her wild wiggling tail
when she's excited to see us. We are also impressed with how intelligent she is.
We could list all of her wonderful qualities, but the |
|
list would go on forever. Can you tell how happy we are to have her? Thank you,
PAWS, for doing the wonderful things you do to give pets like Rylee a happy home. - The Clouse

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Kima and Sachi
are delightful dogs - so full of love and
affection! They bonded right away with my children
Andrew, Christina and Cody and are just a part of
the family now! They sleep with me on my bed
(never thought I'd let a dog do that!) but they
are irresistible and Sachi even likes to sleep
under the covers, with just his cute little face
sticking out! They are eating really well - you
would never know that Kima is sick. They are a joyful |
 |
| presence in our home and
we are thankful to PAWS for allowing us to adopt these precious animals. Thanks, too , for all
the follow up from the volunteers at PAWS. The
phone calls and words of encouragement have been
very nice and we can tell that the people at PAWS
really care about these dogs! When I think of the series of events that
brought these dogs into our lives, I am amazed and
grateful. Thank you! Sincerely, Patti |

I call her Gypsy.
I adopted her about a year ago and she has been the greatest
dog. I went to the shelter in Chicago to see her and when the
lady brought her to me it was love at first sight, she licked my
ear and I knew then she was the one. She was delivered to my
house the next day by PAWS and it took no time for my other dogs
to welcome her. I then started in obedience training with her
and she was a natural, she advanced so quickly in class that the
instructors could not believe it. We are now doing |
| agility training and again she is amazing, never questioning
what I want her to do. I just want to thank PAWS for giving
me this great dog. I would not hesitate to adopt another dog
from PAWS.

Dear PAWS Chicago,
Mike, our 8-year-old tabby, had been alone
for the past two years after
the unexpected passing of his brother, Steve.
Mike has adjusted quite
well after the first year, but in the latter
year had become inactive and
overweight. We wanted to adopt a cat that would
help Mike become
more active and happier. Sassy, the 3-year-old
tabby that we adopted and renamed Helen was the perfect addition. Mike
picked up her young, playful |
 |
attitude and he dropped from 18 pounds to 16 pounds. The introduction took only
a few days, and after some initial hissing, they became best friends. Thanks so
much!

Hi PAWS Chicago,
My husband and I adopted Petey
on December 4, 1999. He has become the love of
our lives! Petey proved to be a smart pup, eager
to learn and to please! He's such an important
member of our family, taking his job as
protector very seriously. We have since
relocated to Arizona where we hike, swim,
mountain climb, even kayak! Petey has quite a
life! Petey gives us enormous joy, companionship, loyalty, and most importantly,
love! |
|
Adopting him is truly one of the most selfless, rewarding things we have ever
done. Our home is a better place with Petey in it! Thank you, PAWS! - Suzann Close |

Is it possible to fall in love
with a cat? YES. When I walked into the PAWS
Adoption Center I was blown away by the charming
maitre D - Mr. Bugsy - I felt I needed a
second cat and he was impossible to resist. He
is now a happy member of the Tullman family
along with our two dogs.

Hi PAWS Chicago,
Here is a photo of Sally,
who we adopted from you in October 2000. We
could not love her more if we tried. Thank you
for
saving her life. We appreciate your important
work.
