Dear <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
We wanted to let you know that Shorty is<br />
doing great. He loves to go on car rides no<br />
matter the distance, <strong>and</strong> I have never seen a<br />
dog love a bed as much, stretching <strong>and</strong> wiggling<br />
over every inch. He is one of the family now, he<br />
races through every room of the house with the<br />
speed of an agility dog. He is the perfect match<br />
for our family.<br />
Thanks a bunch,<br />
Marin <strong>and</strong> Shorty’s family<br />

Dear <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
We adopted “Sierra” now “Tilly” this weekend<br />
<strong>and</strong> have to say she’s a perfect fit for our family.<br />
She has settled in well <strong>and</strong> is keeping us busy.<br />
I would like to thank the foster family that took<br />
care of her. I was surprised at how well rounded<br />
she was for such a little kitten. She is growing<br />
everyday – she is almost four pounds now! She<br />
thinks she owns the house, but really, she owns<br />
our hearts.<br />
Thanks,<br />

To <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Staff,<br />
Jem is doing great! She is very friendly<br />
<strong>and</strong> interactive with us. We moved her<br />
cage into our bedroom when we were<br />
getting work done on her new cage <strong>and</strong><br />
she loves it so much I don’t think she will<br />
let us move it out. She loves brocc<strong>ol</strong>i <strong>and</strong><br />
carrot tops, but she abs<strong>ol</strong>utely loves<br />
yogurt chips – they are the first things<br />
she eats out of her bowl. She’s also very<br />
curious <strong>and</strong> enjoys running around the<br />
house every chance she gets!<br />
