Charlie

We found Charlie in Burlington at Petsmart and visited with him for about an hour. Still undesided on replacing our beloved Sequoia we went home and thought about it for the evening. The next day we called SPOT and adopted Charlie . Our friends now call him "Sir Charles" as he has the run of our house. He has settled into our family very well. Travelling is still a struggle, however, he is learning the ropes. On our return from a weekend trip he came home to find all his things still intact and he wasn't going to another kennel.

While we know that he will never replace Sequoia he is filling a great big hole in our hearts because he loves to cuddle.

My girls best friend

In 2005 we meet Chopper at an adoption day in Mount Vernon. He sat right next to our then 6 month old daughter and let her put a finger up his nose. He wagged his tail and next thing we knew he was coming home with us. Since then we have added two more girls to the family and moved cross country. Chopper is more a part of our family then we ever thought possible. When the girls are upset, he's right there for snuggles. He always stays close to us and plays gently with the girls. He even catches balls thrown by toddlers causing squeals of delight. Thank you for our helping us find our amazing dog

Zoey,

Thank you Spot! We never planned on getting a dog but when we saw Zoey in petco Nov. of '08 we just fell in love, I couldnt imagine life without her, she is such a good dog and so sweet. She is doing very well, and is an amazing model for photography. We love her very much!
She has changed our lives for the better, and I know she is happy too :)

Wolfie

My husband and I have come to the consensus that cats make much better children than human babies- besides they come potty trained! The final addition to our family was Wolfie, a handsome white siamese/maine coon that was rescued from a hoarder property. Spot socialized him with amazing success! Having experienced our own foster cases with kittens and cats from similar backgrounds through the seattle animal shelter we would have never guessed Wolfie's past- he was immediately at home and is the most social and unabashed feline in our life!

We are constantly entertained by his more dog-like than cat personality. He rushes to greet us at the door every time we get home and loves to welcome each morning by bounding around the house with a chorus of little chirping meows. He has taken to carrying toys around in his mouth and even comes when we call him by name! His new siblings Holly & Karu learn to love him a little more everyday though he loved them immediately from the start.

Thank you so much for helping connect us with Wolfie, and for taking such amazing care of him before he came to our home! His is an amazing ambassador for the potential there is in every rescued cat.

<3 Collin & Jenette, Holly, Karumera, and Wolfie

Bailey

We've fallen in love with Bailey! She's doing well-- she's getting a good walk in most days (and lets us know of her displeasure on the days that we don't walk) and has claimed the bottom level of my son's bunk bed as her own. :-) She got a clean bill of health from our vet and seems to be adjusting to her new home. We gave her a bath, and that helped considerably with the shedding. She still whines and sleeps a lot, but is happy as a clam when we are out exploring the neighborhood, and we've even gotten her to fetch a ball a few times. Thanks again for letting her come home with us. We feel very lucky to have her. We hope that you and your critters are all doing well.

Cheers,

Tracey & family

And Poodle Makes 3

I have always had a strong love for animals and their welfare; so when our local SPOT group participated in a Puppy mill seizure I stepped right up to be a foster home. We already had two well trained schnauzers but we opened our doors and our hearts to those puppies in need. As love would have it, my two schnauzers chose a miniature poodle to be their little sister. Mitzi nowhas found her "Fur-ever" home here. They have taught her love, warm beds and long walks off leash are what every dog deserves. Thanks SPOT.
