This in from Miles’ mom: “My name is Miles, named that after six plus months of traveling and surviving in the forest. I was exhausted and relieved to arrive at Clatsop County Animal Shelter in February 2020. All my new human friends loved me and I could relax!
My first experience in a home, when fostered March 2020, brought me joy! Soon I was playing with toys and my new mom. I tried to play with my older new friend Beauty but she preferred to sleep. Very soon my mom was telling me that I was home and we would be together always.
Some noises still do frighten me but mom helps me with love and security. I’ve settled in and I’m now the king of my home!”
Ashlee and Chris adopted Cleo earlier this year. They sent us this update last week:
“Meet Cleo, formerly Bailey! This adorable little forever puppy is the latest member of our family. We adopted Miss Cleo a couple months ago and, once she knew she was really part of the pack, she transformed from a timid, scared little dog into a confident blur of stealthy kisses, silliness, and high speed entertainment. She loved our elderly animals while they were still alive and absolutely adores our rescue dog & cat, Bug & Alfie. She’s the typical younger sibling, stealing Bug’s toys & harassing him and he just wags his tail and kisses her. Cleo has most definitely stolen all of our hearts & we couldn’t imagine life without her now💜”
Thank you, Ashlee and Chris for adopting your pack!
