Happy Tails

Hello, my name is Matilda and I rescued my people from a life of misery. What would they do without me. They had somehow survived all this time without the love of a cat. How sad for them. I do not know how they ever managed. but here I am now and they will never have to worry ever again thanks to the Borderland Humane Society. Cats like me are needed in homes all over the city but people just wander aimlessly unaware of what they are missing. Fortunately for my Humans, I was able to save them in time. I love my new home and they love me. What else matters?



I'M SO HAPPY! Hello everyone! For those who do not know me, I am Winter, aka Lola. I was a regular at the Borderland Humane Society for quite some time, but now, thanks to the wonderful people who worked so hard to help me find my forever home, I have been adopted and life is grand. I now have a wonderful, forever home. I have a new sibling that I really love and as you can see from my photos, I am spoiled and I like to show off because I am so happy! Thank you everyone! I now know that all of my Christmas's will be merry from now on.

Love, Winter (aka Lola)



Tosh's new name is Link, which is one of my sons favorite character from the game Zelda.
Link is a very loved kitty by all of us. As you can tell by the picture, our cat, Brick accepted Link and became good friends
Thank you for Link, he brought much happiness to my son and a new friend to our cat.
He is a very good kitty and we fits very well in our home. We love him so much!

 


Hello good people of BHS: Just wanted to share a picture of our little pound puppy, Jackson (formerly Johnny Boy). I have to be honest, he was quite the handful when he first got home, VERY, VERY active. He also had chewing issues and very bad separation anxiety. It's been a little over a year now and he's just the most loving little guy. He is still very high energy but now it's not shown in a negative way. The picture I've included is when he's letting us know he's tired and ready for bed - our little china-eyes character. Thanks so much for all the wonderful animals you save!

Hello, My (now) husband and I drove up to you from Indiana this past December to adopt a calico Siberian cat name Callie. I just wanted to let you know that we are SO happy that we came up to get her and so appreciative that you saved her for us while we made the long hike up there. She loves to be with us and we completely love her to death! (Can you tell she's spoiled?) ha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that she's doing wonderfully, actually sitting on my lap right now, and wanted to tell you about our complete happiness with her and we love what you guys are doing. Thank you so much!! Megan and Tad Hite


Our family found a loveable, huggable, playful forever family member at Borderland Humane Society. At the shelter she was known as Daisy. We changed her name to Ohana "Ohahnah" which means family in Hawaiian. With our 3 kids and property she has plenty of room to run and play. After an adjustment period with our existing dog they are becoming friends. He is learning that she is just here to play and have fun. She has made all of your lives fuller with her companionship and love. Thank you Borderland for saving our big baby girl.


Dear Borderland Humane Society,

We are very happy to have Lucy as a part of our family and Lucy is happy too. She enjoys playing fetch, running around and swimming. We are so glad she is a part of our lives.

Thank you, The Anderson


Dear Borderland Humane Society,

We thought you might enjoy these pictures. Lady is settling in so well--it’s like she’s always been here. The picture of the dogs on the bed with two of our grandchildren was taken in the camper—it was her first camping trip, and she loved it. (There wasn’t much room for Grandma and Grandpa in bed though!) The other one I took tonight—she and Sawyer like to play together. Sometimes at night she actually puts her head on my pillow and her arm around me. She got a good report at the vet, and her appointment to get spayed is on the 16th.

Thanks again.

My name is Lilly and I am a special cat. I came to the BHS foster care and from there found my forever home. Not only did I find my forever home but also a forever bedtime buddy. I am in love with my new brother. As you can see, good things come to those who are patient.
Please help my other friends who are homeless find their forever homes too just like me. Thank you to all who are making a difference. All my love, Lilly


Good Day Borderland Humane Society, The kids and I were Sooo excited. Snookie has adjusted quite well to our family. She loves to be held like a baby and get her tummy rubbed. Her favorite spot in the house is anywhere next to a family member. Thank you so much for helping her find a family. We wouldn't trade her for anything. One cute and unique thing about Snookie is that she doesn't meow, only purrs all the time. Snookie sits by her brother... Stanley our yorkie! He loves her. He has no problem with her rubbing up against him. Kind Regards, Sara

Hello Borderland Humane Society. It's me Carmine. My name is Sam now and I love it.

This was me at Christmas time watching the clock till Midnight when Santa would come and now a few months later here I am loving the forever home that Santa gave me.

I love life and life loves me.

You will be always in my heart.

Hi Borderland Humane Society... things are going really well with Hans!!
we renamed him...and he answers to it ok... it is Floyd. Floyd Bosolomon. Our family loves him already!!!
He already seems to have a bit more pep in him. We took him for a long bush walk earlier today with 5 other dogs and he did wonderfully!
i got him some good weight loss dog food....and hope to take 20 lbs off him by summer.
he is such a sweet soul...and gets along with our other dog and cat well.
he already has a 'spot' in our porch that he has claimed. He was also pretty excited to be invited up onto the 'dog couch'...although he needed a bit of a boost. lol. he already got stuck in the car and needed help getting out of there too.
he seems really happy....and has taken to me fast...he doesnt leave my side for long.
ill send you updates and pictures from time to time.....i have no doubt he will be with us for the rest of his life. :)

thanks again for such a wonderful dog. melissa.


Dear Borderland Humane Society. My name is Obie and I was one of the kitties that my former Human threw away in a box and left us out in the cold.

I am now here to tell you that because of your kindness and love, I have found my forever home with the boy of my dreams. I think I was his dream too because he tells me every day how much he loves me, how long he has waiting to have a kitty like me and that makes me so happy.

I now have a warm bed to sleep in at night, lots of windows to curl up in during the day and all the fresh food and water my heart can hold. I am now in my own Heaven.

Love Obie (aka-Beeker)


I wanted to thank you again for letting me adopt this darling little girl in October! We've now had three weeks to start getting used to having a puppy in the house again! She's fitting in beautifully! I attached a couple of pics some friends took of her on one of her first playdates!

I have named her Lily Tomlin (Tommie). She is keeping her two Jack Russell Terrier "brothers" very busy! Tommie and Zak are good wrestling buddies and he's showing her the general ropes. It took a few days for Tommie to win over REO (who is accustomed to being the youngster here) but they're becoming good racing and wrestling buddies and once she learns a wee bit more about not using those puppy needles they call teeth it will be even better! ROFL

Tommie already has quite the fan club both online and in person with several of them threatening to dog-nap her when I'm not looking! She has started a puppy class and will soon start another. She is an incredible joy to have around and is one great shoulder warmer at snuggle time!

Thank you!
Laura


I wanted to take the time to thank you for helping us find our little darling. As you can see we have given our little girl a new name of Lillie Anne. This name is in honor of a family members favorite flower and my mothers middle name.
Lillie is adapting to her new home with energy and a developing personality that continues to become cuter as the days go by. She is such a love and it saddens me each time I think of her and her brother being placed in a garage to be fed and little else.
I visit Borderland's site quite often and am always drawn to the pets ten commandments and I just wanted to comment on who ever wrote that did so with a true understanding of what having a pet as a part of your family is truly about. They should be treated with the same respect, patience and love that is shown their human companions.
Again would like to thank you for the work that you and all of the volunteers at Borderland do.
Warmest regards, Mark

Hi. My name is KiKi (aka Halle Berry) and I was a BHS kitty 2 times. I have finally found my forever home. I have brother dogs that let me sleep and play with them. This is what forever means and believe me when I say that I have found a piece of kitty heaven. I have proven to be a great mouser at my country home and I tend to worry my human when I venture too far from the house but I always find my way back home. Thank you to all who helped me find my way and my forever home. I am loved at last.

Love, KiKi
