Cupid with Annabelle

Puppy rescued by OFOSA brings joy on Christmas morning

Just wanted to thank you and the OFOSA so much for making my daughter Annabelle’s Christmas so special. Your extra efforts made it possible for our family to adopt Cupid (now renamed “Holly” by my daughter) the newest member of our family.

As you know my daughter has wanted a puppy for as long as we can remember. For the past three years she has been hoping that Santa would answer her requests for a real puppy not just the toy stuffed versions of the past 3 years. When she made her Christmas list this year it included a separate set of clear instructions for Santa - which she pinned to our curtains - next to our Christmas tree. The message was for Santa to bring her a real puppy and place it in a special bed she made out of a laundry basket and blankets. She placed a leash and collar that she had received last year (on a stuffed toy puppy) in the basket with the note to insure there was no miscommunication.

We would just like to give an update on our family member “Misty” or formerly known as Glenda by the folks at OFOSA. Misty has been a wonderful addition to our family and has made herself very much at home, she is very attached to all member especially our son. She is always in the best of spirits and happy to see us. We appreciate the opportunity that OFOSA gave us by bring Misty home with us, “Thank You”!

I adopted a kitten from the Tansaborne Petco, I think in June. I wanted a male, not black. A female, tuxedo - picked me and made it clear - I wanted her. She has not stopped being pushy with her affection and desire to be near. She greets us as we come home and tells us all about her day, sleeps in our beds, she knows she is totally adorable, even dog tolerates her playing with his tail as he wags affectionately. She climbs into the shower with us, plays on the patio as we BBQ dinner - well, I am saying I have never adopted a kitten before, but I am so glad she choice us and convinced me she was right. We are wrapped around her little white paws and can't imagine not having her. Thanks for the good work you. The adoption fee was worth every penny.

Ginger & Mia

I just thought I would send you an email to tell you we were thinking of you the other day. The girls (who we are now calling Ginger and Mia) are doing really well. They are growing up so fast, I can’t believe it! Although they are filling out and getting taller, they still retain their kitten like mischievous playfulness and are very busy exploring the house and noticing the outside world of birds! The other day we had a cedar tree full of goldfinches and pine siskins and the girls went crazy. It was so loud, there must have been 75 birds in our tree!

They are very much like the two Siamese sisters from lady and the tramp!

They are curious and stealthy, which sometimes results in a large CRASH of something flying off a table or being knocked over. Always makes Chris and I laugh as they really rule the house now. J They seem quite content and talk to us a lot. They just received the third shot of the series and have won everyone over at the Laurelhurst Vet Hospital. They are VERY social indeed.

Needless to say we are enjoying them immensely and feel so fortunate to have them in our lives. I thought you would like some photos and I will keep you updated in the next few months. I hope you are well and please pass this note on to your sister.

Happy spring!

Snow & family

Hi every one at OFOSA,

I want to thank you so much for rescuing me and keeping me safe in a foster home so that I could live and find a new human mom and dad. My name is Snow and on August 25th I was united with my new human family.
I live with them in Portland, OR in a home with a nice fenced yard. I get to go out side when ever I want; all I have to do is ask. My mom is a hair dresser and hospice nursing assistant and works outside of our home, but I get to see her every day and we spend lots of time together learning, playing and snuggling. My dad is retired and home most of the time so I don’t have to be alone a very much, which I like.
My mom takes me for walks every morning and my dad takes me every afternoon, sometimes all three of us go in the evening. My parents want to be the best dog parents they can be so they are taking some classes from the dog whisperer on line and reading some books. They are both very patient and kind, I am learning a lot. My mom tells dad that I am teaching her too.
I love them both very much and especially my mom. I follow her around all the time. My mom and dad have no human kids at home but they do have grown ones with kids of there own. I really like them and enjoy when they come and visit.
I have my own room but only spend time in there when mom and dad are gone, which is not very much, and if I want to go in there and relax I do. I am so happy here at my new home and am adjusting quickly to my new environment. Things are really different and they feel really good.
I have attached some pictures for you to see how well and happy I am doing, aren’t my parents beautiful….. Just like me. Well I guess that is all I wanted to say. I really just wanted to thank you for rescuing me and thank Angie for being a foster mom so that doggies like me have a nice place to stay until we find new human parents.

All My Love,
Snow
