We had said we'd send pics of Sonney and his new home, well here they are!
He is such a sweet and handsome boy with a wonderful character. He is making
friends with our other dog Cosmo, an 11 year old female. He enjoys his walks,
and several 'snoozy' spots around the house. Thanks for introducing us, we are
enjoying the newest member of our family.

Dutch

Hi there,

we are thrilled to have Dutch in our home. We couldn't ask for a better Christmas gift. What an easy going nd 18lbs of loveable teddy-bear cat. His favoured spot is under the Christmas tree, but also the rocking chair. His brother Herman was less thrilled but adjust pretty fast to him. We hope to convince some of our friends to adopt from LAWS.

Happy Christmas and a peaceful 2012.


Just wanted to let everyone at LAWS know that it was as if we were waiting on Stella all along!! She didn't need anytime to adjust, she walked into the house, looked around and settled in. I had such a hard time chosing a kitty but I really think she chose us. She quite frequently acts like a dog...whenever we are gone and come home, she comes running and meowing to be picked up. She LOVES us all and we love her, she is never without a lap to lay on. She loves to play as you can see and is great with both our 3 yr old and 3 month old daughters. We are SO happy that we could give her a home and are SO lucky for all that she gives us in return.

Cheers,
The Gow Family

We had recently lost our Lhasa Apso of 16 years and we were thinking about adopting another dog. We visited the LAWS website and saw Gizmo - a 5yr old Lhasa Apso mix and right then I knew we had to have him. We visited Gizmo at his foster home and totally fell in love with him. Gizmo is now one of the family and brings us such joy and happiness every single day. He is an amazing companion and we love him dearly. Thanks to Laws for giving us such an amazing friend.

To the Staff at L.A.W.S.

Scrawny, underweight and a boat load of potential health issues did not scare off our daughter Sarah when we brought her to the shelter in the fall of 2011 to pick out a kitten. One look into "Peanut's" big green eyes and she knew he was meant to be hers. Now called Franky, he is growing well, strong and healthy. Our two dogs are his constant companions. He has found a playmate in our 1 year old Papillion Gabe, and a warm and cozy cuddle buddy in our 9 year old Husky Rosie, who was overjoyed to have a kitten again. Franky is sweet, affectionate and has just enough imp in him to keep us all going. Thank You L.A.W.S. for giving him a chance, and us a wonderful addition to our family.

Hello...
We just want to let you know how Chewbacca now Fred is doing! Fred is definitely a big suck for attention and is very cute! Barney ( our other dog) and fred will at random times just decide to play a game of chase around the yard and then come back panting like crazy! Barney might be a big dog but he is very gentle with fred. When we first got fred we did not think he looked like a chewbacca but now we see what they meant with his long hair and almost like a scruffy beard! His favourite treats are mini milk bones and every now and then a tiny piece of meat. He still needs to work on come training but we are working hard at it! Fred is the best snuggler imaginable and if you stop petting him for one second he wiggles around trying to get your attention to pet him more! Fred is a great new addition to our family!
Thank you LAWS staff,
The Bell family

Carla

 

We bought Pancakes (Or Carla) from L.A.W.S on September 5th 2011, and I thrilled that we did. Once the lady took us to the room I fell in love with this one kitten. She was sitting on the table and once she saw my face she jumped down and was pawing and meowing at my leg. I was sold, We just could not leave without her. It was love at first sight. So that day we took her home where she would be loved, cared for, and have a safe and happy home to call her own. As we were paying the lady at the desk explained that Pancakes was a Tote kitten. She was lefted on their door step with 9 other cats raging from kittens to 2yrs old. The holes were so tiny that might as well lefted it. She was the only one to survive. We both thought "how could anyone do that to a animal !?!" When we brought her home she knew that this was home and that she had a family. If we are one the couch she will jump up and curl right inbetween us, or lay on your chest, stomach and in the middle or your legs. Pancakes will show her love to mommy and daddy by licking your nose when we come home and meet you right at the door meowing. Her favourite thing to do is look out at the window and meow at the birds and squirrls, its the cutest thing. Pancakes is the newest edition in our little family and both love her with all our heart.

Thank you L.A.W.S, for all the care and support that you did and do. We cannot thank you enough.

With all our thanks and love Ryan C, Ashley M & Pancakes (Carla)


Mo mastered stairs this morning, although it was quite a challenge last evening. He probably has never seen a mirror - his reaction last night when he saw his reflection was a laugh! He does not like being left alone in his crate, but he will just have to learn. Charlie Moe will be a challenge to train, but he is a sweetheart and a good dog.

Dallas

 

Hello everyone!

We adopted a 3-4 y/o Black Lab back in September 2011 named Magic. Just wanted to leave you a message on how well he is fitting in our home!

The first day we brought him home he slept beside me while I watched TV. From then him and the family have all created amazing bonds.
We renamed Magic to Dallas, and he has grown to this name over time. We noticed he loves to play with his tennis balls and loves to run off leash out in the back yard!
He is very laid back inside the house and has a lot of love to share with everyone. When we first came to meet Dallas, we brought along our 9 y/o Border Collie/Retriever and she ignored him during the meeting. After weeks of living together she has grown to love her new companion and has become more happy and energetic that now she had a friend to play with. Every night she asks Dallas to play with her and throws toys to him. Dallas seems to love it here, this really was a great match!
Thank You to all the staff at LAWS!

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know that little Miss Pris( I call her Missy)is doing great. I am so glad I decided to stop and see your dogs late December. She is a sweet little girl and I just love her. She fits right in and is very comfortable here. She is a real sweet heart. Thanks again for such a wonderful pet.


Sincerely, Judy S
