Chance

Way back on a snowy day in December we came to RAPS to meet Chance. My daughter Zoey Jones had met him previously and kept telling us to come and meet him too.

We were thinking about getting another dog as Coco (our older Shih Tzu) needed a buddy.

Well, we fell in love with him and wanted to have him join our family. Chance has made himself very much at home, (we were shocked when we went to the vet for a check up and Chance has gained 6 pounds since he came to our home) and Coco loves him, but tries to keep him in line. He adores her! He is happy and playful and has experienced many firsts, like the trip to the beach, camping, and a ferry ride!

Thank you for letting us adopt him.

PS -- Chance is the blonde Shih Tzu and Coco is black and white.

Tricia Helfer and sister, Tara, support RAPS!

Since Tricia and Tara Helfer first visited the RAPS cat sanctuary on March 30, 2008, we have enjoyed Tara's company on several other Sunday afternoons. The well-known actress (Battlestar Galactica) and one-time Ford Supermodel of the World and her sister share our love for cats and are very supportive of the work we are doing.

It was wonderful to have Tara come out recently, and we hope Tricia will be able to visit us again soon, when her work once again brings her to the Vancouver area.

Teak

Just a short note to let you know how Teak is doing. He has settled in well and is enjoying all the attention and exercise he is getting. He is eager to learn and walks well on the leash. He loves playing soccer in the garden and his favorite game indoors is dropping his kong or ball from the top of the stairs. Watching it bounce all the way down, then retrieving it and doing it all over again.

Thank you for letting us adopt him!

Bridget, John, Dylan and Teak
