Hi Shareen, How are you? I must apologise for the delay in sending through an image of Bella (nee Christina). She has grown a lot in the last month or so and the kids just adore her. She has the most beautiful nature and is very patient with the two little girls that just love her to bits. She has fitted perfectly into the family unit. Please find a photo attached that we would be happy for you to use on the DCH website. Trust that you are well. All the best, Heather

Christina was adopted on 14/07/08 after 2 weeks in foster care.

Judith, hi!

Indigo is fantastic! I speak for both myself and Luke when I say we are SO lucky that Indi chose us. Do you remember that she said hello, then ran to the car to check it out, as if to say well, come on!. She has been running up to us and standing with her paws on our chests and headbutting our chins a lot. She also stands and balances on my shoulder while I am doing things around the house sometimes. She is a charmer, and everyone who has visited us in the last month has just fallen straight under her spell!

As I mentioned, my older cat was to be joining us within a month's time from Adelaide. We have just passed the two week mark with both cats in the house, and so far, things have been a lot quieter and calmer than I was worried they were going to be

especially since big brother Oscar has been in an single cat household for nearly five years. Indi was very sweet and persistant. I believe she had the radius of Oscar's personal space bubble worn down from two metres to thirty centimetres in one evening hehe

Anyway, we are so grateful to you and your family for providing Indi with a home and helping her to be the friendly cat she is, and for then letting us steal such a treasure away from you! My digital camera is broken at the moment, so I am unable to take any photos of Indi to email to you. As soon as we get it sorted out, I will take some photos and send them to you so you can see how she is going. Keep well, Sari (and Luke, Indi and Oscar).

Indigo was adopted on 11/6/07 after 7 months in foster care.

Hi

just wanted to give you a I thought of sending you a couple of pics of Jax but we renamed him to Wolfie. He is such a pleasure and we love him so much. He know how to sit, drop, stay and walks very well on a lead. Max our mini foxy really gets along with him. I went out and bought a special dog kennel and they sleep together. Will keep you updated on how he is going Hope all is well and thank you for your work.

Jax was adopted on 29/5/07 after 3 weeks in foster care.

Hi Karen We're just sending a few pictures of fluff (the name stuck) and her new friend sasha, our other doggy. They have both settled in very well and are getting along great in their new home. They do everything together, they have 5 different beds but always seem to end up sleeping together in the same bed. Just letting you know fluff has settled in great and everything is going well.

Thanks once again for the gorgeous puppy. Graham and Kez

Updated Oct 07: Just wanted to send through some photos of what fluff looks like now. She's grown up alot but is still smaller than sash. She is soooooo friendly and playful. She loves going for a run with sash and playing in the water but I think the lab in her definitely shows too as she loves to sit cuddle with everyone. Her and sash get along great, there always playing together and fluff follows sash every where. We both love her so much and couldn't be happier with the way things turned out.

Fluff was adopted on 1/6/07 after 1 month in foster care.

To all at DCH animal adoptions, I recently adopted Chester from you, and i just wanted to say a huge thank you.. He's an absolutely adorable dog, and without your website and efforts I wouldn't have found my forever dog. Thank you so very much Fay Collings

Hi

Thought you would love to know how Rosie, (now known as Skye) is going. She is growing into a beautiful girl. Her coat is a little longer and she still has those radar ears! She has settled well into our family and loves going for walks and lots of attention. We enrolled her in puppy school and she obeys all basic commands, even sitting and waving her paws if she wants her food or a toy. Here are some photos of her taken a few weeks after she came to live with us. Regards, the Sheedy Family.

Rosie was adopted on 18/1/07 after 4 months in foster care.

As promised photos of George and Alice ( we renamed Zelda as she was so much like Alice in wonderland when we got her home).

They are wonderful together and seeing them play ( all day long) is a joy! Very happy healthy dogs, we are blessed to have them as part of the family, they go to the beach every evening or morning and love to swim and chase each other in and out of the water then roll in the sand until they are totally covered and start all over again. Alice is a shocking theif and will steal and bury anything that isnt nailed down ( cordless phone, TV remote, shoes, T Towels etc) whilst George looks on looking very innocent! I am sure he puts her up to it!

George is so happy to have someone to play with, he is calm and confident and happy to see all visitors including other dogs. They sleep one on either side of the bed ( on their own beds) or piled on top of each other snoring

We are taking them on holiday ( to Noosa) next week and look forward to exploring all the doggy beaches up there and wearing them out ( almost impossible!) Thanks for making it possible for us to have such wonderful additions to our family we are very privileged to enjoy them. Kind regards, Jodie and Sam

George was adopted on 16/7/06 after 1 year and 1 month in foster care.

Zelda was adopted on 1/3/07 after 1 and a half months in foster care.

Hi Fran, You were right, Scooby is just adorable and we all love him to bits already. He was so good in the car on the way home. When we arrived I let him get acquainted with every corner of the house and yard and he seemed happy

He gets lots of cuddles and gets a little jealous when I pat Rocky as well, but they get along fine even when it comes to food. He would like to be in the house all the time or rather stay close to me wherever I go, but that of course, is not going to possible so they spend some time outside. We go for walks everyday, so he will be well exercised, loved and looked after. Please don't worry. He sends his love and big thanks to you for your good heart and affection and good life that he's had so far. Best Regards Halina

Scooby was adopted on 25/3/07 after 4 months in foster care.

Hi Fran Wilbour has settled in really well. I think he thinks he runs the joint. We took him up to our country shack in East Gippsland and he had a ball.

Anyway, I have included a few photos of him... he just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I think he weighs 12kg now. Cheers Michelle

Wilbour was adopted on 22/3/07 after 3 weeks in foster care.
