Pet’s AARF Name: Sparky
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Gabe
How is your adopted pet doing? Ever since we brought Gabe (formerly Sparky) home, I couldn’t imagine my life or our home without him. He is the sweetest, most docile boy with the best personality. We have nicknamed him velcro boy because he is never not affectionately cuddling in someone’s lap. He is very vocal and playful and absolutely loves to learn and discover new things every day. When he is not exploring or making friends with anyone he meets, he is playing or cuddling with his new older brother Paul. After almost 2 weeks of separating Paul and Gabe, they have quickly become inseparable, and are now always eating together, sleeping together, and/or play wrestling all over the house. I’m so very glad to see Paul have a friend as he was the only pet in the house for his first year of life. All in all, Gabe makes the perfect addition to our family and we couldn’t have asked for a better adopting experience than this one! Thank you so much for introducing us to all of our family’s new best friend!!

Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Nadia
How is your adopted pet doing? Nadia is full of energy and in to everything. She seems happy in her new home with her two dogs and 2 cats. I have had numerous kittens over my lifetime, but I have never adopted a kitty who was socialized as well as Nadia. She is not afraid of any thing, She loves being held and loves to snuggle under the blankets in bed. She pounces the dogs and runs and will climb up your leg to be held if she thinks you are not paying enough attention to her. Even my vet said that someone did a wonderful job socializing her and everyone in the vet’s office had to hold her. She knows her new name and comes running when called. She is a wonderful addition to our family.

Pet’s AARF Name: Piper
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lola
How is your adopted pet doing? Lola is fitting in well as the newest member of our household! She loves to spend time outside investigating the property but also loves to cuddle once she has worn herself out. She is a frequent visitor to my office and the team loves her.

She has grown quickly and shows no signs of stopping there! We anticipated that but she keeps us on our toes with her curiosity and exposure to new heights (literally, like the kitchen counters this week, haha)

Lola is learning commands with ease but also has decided that some are not her favorite. She has no issue with laying on the puppy dog eyes and planting herself when asked to do something she isn’t a fan of.

All of her personality, energy, and puppy dog tendencies are exactly what we were looking for and we would not have it any other way!
