Mad about Maddy

Daisy May, now Maddy, has found heaven on earth with her new adoptive parents! This is Maddy's third family. 

"We've only had her for four days and already, she has been perfect.  Not one mess . . . yet.  Loves to play, but when she's had enough, she plops down wherever.  Kitchen, front room, bedroom, doesn't matter.  She's already following us around and gets excited when one of us comes home after being gone for awhile. We took her on Friday for her wellness exam with Dr. Anderson and she's in good health.  We love her and you WON'T get her back any more. :)," they wrote.  

After being returned to the shelter by a previous family for making messes in the house, we're glad Daisy May has settled in with a family that wants to help her succeed.

We're so happy. Thanks for the update, Jan and family! Congratulations on your successful adoption of sweet Maddy! 

Thank you for your generosity

We are so grateful to the many friends, supporters, and volunteers who answered our plea for help on Facebook yesterday! When we posted about our need for mechanical assistance on the shelter van, our post was shared 70 times in the first few hours and some great folks came out to volunteer their time and skills!

Today, we're asking for a special gift for our East Wing dogs. Some of these dogs have been with us for over 7 months, and we want them to have something nice to pass the time! Can you please ask your grocer for raw soup bones (beef joints)? These treats keep our dogs entertained for hours on end and can really help them stay happy and sane while they wait for their forever homes. We will be accepting donations of fresh or frozen soup bones whenever you have time to drop some by!

Thank you for everything you do!

Motherhood

Raising kittens is hard work, but it's even harder when you're a homeless mama cat. Sheba, Crystal, Suki, Kali, and Paris are all raising litters here at the Humane Society of Skagit Valley. Our staff and volunteers are trying to keep them healthy, avoid disease exposure, provide a quiet and safe environment, and give these mamas the best possible environment to nurture their tender little families. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to one of these moms by providing foster care, we'd love to hear from you! Visit the shelter or email today for a foster application.
