Kona the Shar-Pei

Hi,

I know you folks deal with a lot of dogs and I don't know how many you could possibly remember, but I think Kona may have left an impact, anyway. She has started doing something that I have never heard of any other dog doing. While watching TV I sit in my armchair with my right forearm on the armrest and my hand hanging over the side. Kona takes her right paw, lifts my hand and puts it in her mouth and very gently mouths my hand, expressing her love, I find it so touching it almost brings me to tears to tell people about it. I won the lottery with her, thank you, keep up the great work and never forget, there's a special place in Heaven for people like you.

Thank you

Kenn & Kona

Meatball

Hi All!

Simone and I adopted 'Meatball' a few months ago now from your shelter. We gave him a new name "Kermode' ( Kerr-Mode-Eee) as in a Kermode Bear or the White Spirit Bear here in BC. He looks just like those bears which are from my traditional territory on the north coast of BC.

He has been an amazing addition to us. He has gotten quite confident here at his home in Gastown....his Pyrenees traits are sure coming through. A great protector of his flock he is...(barking at birds trying to steal his bones on the deck)...he is VERY gentle with people and other dogs...unless they bite him then he usually puts his pancake move on them to show them how BIG he is then he calmly walks away.

We wanted to send you some pictures of him and his new life here.

I think he might run for Gastown mayor next year... he is extremely popular with the tourists, street people love him, and the residents. He is asked for his picture all the time.

And he loves Canucks games with Dad!

Pika the hamster

Hi,
I just wanted to thank you for letting me adopt Pika outside of regular adoption hours - she is doing great and her new habitat has lots of cool features for her to enjoy. She is very tame and gentle. My ARC (Animal Rescue and Care) club students adore her!
