We just wanted to update you on the adoption of our Australian Cattle Dog, Noah (you probably know him as 'Caesar').  We adopted Noah in September of 2006.  When he first came into our possession, we had some issues with his tail, which I can only describe as "half" amputated.  He use to constantly chase and bite his tail to the point where it became severely infected.  About a year ago we decided to amputate the rest of it so he would no longer be able to bite and infect it.  Since the operation Noah is doing great.  He no longer chases his tail at every opportunity and he loves his new home.  We recently fenced in the back yard of our house so he can run freely and explore as he wishes.  He now knows what it is like to be a "spoiled" pet because he gets his way all the time.  He sleeps in our beds with us and takes over the couch whenever he wants it.  Noah is very protective of his new family and never lets anyone he doesn't know enter the house.  We are so happy to have Noah in our lives.  Sometimes he even unmakes the bed by himself so he can snuggle up underneath the comforter.  He is very happy with us and we would not trade him in for anything.  Thanks!  Kim Lynn

Dear A.N.N.A Shelter Staff,  Earlier this year my grandpa had to have his dog put to sleep, he was devastated. We searched the past few months for a dog exactly like the one he recently lost and out of the blue we came across Toby on your website. On Saturday July 12th, we brought grandpa to the shelter to see Toby. It was love at first sight. Toby was exactly the same as the dog he had just lost. It only took a moment for us to realize that Toby had found his new home.  A few days later, grandma and grandpa are both happier and Toby is happier then anyone could imagine. He runs through the big yard, chases birds, and is constantly following around grandma or grandpa. They are all adjusting but Toby has filled a void that was created at the loss of Lickie. I wanted to thank the A.N.N.A. Shelter for all their help in making grandma and grandpa happy again = Laura, Ray, Sue and Ethel

I just want to say thank you for our new addition ROSCO, previously known as Phelps. He is such a sweet heart!  he is so happy to be at his "forever home".  He is definitly adapting very well, very fast.  Rosco made himself right at home!! He even dances on his two back legs when he wants to go outside.   We have only had him for 5 days and he is already a huge part of our lives! We will keep you updated on him. Thanks again! We love him to death. I am sure he misses you but we keep him well occupied!  He sends his love! Jenn Millimaci
