Messages From Friends (letters to AOS)

AOS gets lots of letters from our friends in the community. It is always wonderful to hear how our former animals are doing, and how they are enriching the lives of their caretakers.
 
Our new Mesa is doing great. As you can see our older calico cat, Geena, loves her new sister. Your adoption process is so great I would do it again!

Missy is doing great and has adjusted to our home very easily. As you can see she gets along very well with children. She is eating so well we have nicknamed her ?miss? Piggy! We were impressed by your services and with how smoothly everything was handled. We have only had her a month and she has become a precious part of our family.

Oscar and Felix have adjusted so well to our home - we are their servants. We have had absolutely no training or behavior problems. The adoption process was great and your volunteer was very patient with us as we made our decision.

Willie has adjusted to our home very well. We are very happy together! She is a purring, snuggling 4.5 lb. of energy and personality-plus! Thank you for a very pleasant adoption process it was respectful and generous.
 
My adoption experience with Hissy was wonderful. Sonja (AOS adoption counselor) made it quite easy and helped us with all our questions. Your service needs no improvements. All of you are doing the work of St. Francis (You're all saints?..Bless all of you).

Cody came right in and set up housekeeping like he lived here the whole time. You have wonderful, warm and friendly people. We love Cody. He is my little shadow. He is so outgoing - I think the early socializing really makes a difference. Thank you all for helping to bring little Cody to us!

"The girls" (Angelica and Lillian) adjusted very well to our home. Our treatment and the adoption process were excellent. Just keep up the good work!

I just wanted to take a moment of your time to thank you for adopting Benny (now Baxter) to me. He is the most loving, adorable family pet that has entered our home. He is doing really well. Thanks again for bringing even more love to our family.

Our new cat, Cuddles, has adjusted very well to our home. We were very impressed with the assistance we had. Really appreciate all the paperwork. We gave copies to the vet. We also appreciate the follow-up call and letter. Thanks to our wonderful daughter who purchased Cuddles for us - our first cat. She is very spoiled.

Dear Judy and Sonja,

Enclosed are donations we received from mom's memorial service. The companionship mom received from Callie was so special to her. I hope Callie adjusts well to her new home. Thank you for everything you did for my mother. We all appreciate it. Please use these donations toward the Senior Program.

Sincerely,
Cathy Howorka-Lockman

AOS Note: Cathy's mother Nancy was in our Senior program. She recently passed away. Wanting companionship for herself and her older dog, she inquired about the senior program and soon adopted Callie. Callie herself started having thyroid problems, and nancy made sure she got her meds and all the love she could handle. Callie is doing fine at one of our volunteer's while looking for a new home.

 
Thank you for your 2 donations this year to our client's pets. Many people were surprised to see we have pet food. I always say "If you can't feed yourself how are you going to feed your pets". Just because you are going through hard times, you shouldn't need to give up your pet - that can be as traumatic as losing a family member. On behalf of our clients and their pets, thanks for your caring and generous support.

God Bless you all,
Barb Pierce Director

This is a picture of Socks in his favorite position on his rocking chair. This cat has a wonderful, loving personality. What a difference adopting an animal who was raised in someone's home rather than from a store! I thought you and your services were great and the adoption process went very well. I especially appreciate the folder giving us all the information needed when we adopted our cat.

They are fabulous! I can't believe it took me so long to get cats. Sasha is growing up to be a big fluff ball and Satine will probably always be small. Sasha loves her mice and is definitely more of a ?cuddler? than her sister. She has no problem being passed from person to person when I entertain. Satine always follows me up and down the stairs and her favorite activity (besides her mice) is watching water drip out of the bathtub faucet. I have also come across some of their baby teeth - believe it or not!
