Success Story: Dewey

Dewey is having the best life in his new home, where he gets to go to work with his mom and spend time playing with her friends’ dogs. Judith tells us, “I really think Dewey has taken a liking to me. He stares so deeply at me all the time and he wants to go everywhere with me. My entire staff gives him so much love when I bring him to the restaurant. He has made some really good doggy friends. He has got to be next to me and snuggle with me all the time. I have been working really hard to try and understand his personality and temperament.”
“I didn’t know how much I needed him. Isn’t that the way it always is?”
Dewey was a favorite at the shelter and we are all VERY happy for him. Thank you, Judith!

SUCCESS STORY: MILES

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!”

SUCCESS STORY: CLEO (AKA BAILEY AT THE SHELTER)

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!
