Lucy (Disco)
We adopted Lucy after
giving sweet Dharma a home a few years earlier. Dharma doesn't get
into much trouble unless I print something or open the disc drive on
the computer, then she get ready for battle. Well Lucy get into
trouble in many ways, but she always tells on herself before she
does something. She let out a loud modulated meow just before she
get into food left on the counter or scratches on something she is
not suppose to scratch on. Lucy makes up for that with being a
champion lap cat and loving with everyone that comes in, especially
kids. She will never bit or scratch and will play for hours with
kids which keeps both entertained. To keep fit Lucy chases Dharma
for a while and then Dharma chases her for awhile. Then they will
clean each other and take a nap.
Thank you,
Bill and Kathi

A Card From Emma:Emma was rescued as a 6 month old Heeler mix puppy from LCAS in November 2002. S.A.R.A. had her vaccinated and spayed, and she was fostered with us for two months, until a lovely lady named Nancy saw her photo at Pet Smart, asked to meet her, and adopted her. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Vermont, where the photo of Emma in her winter jacket was taken.

She was our resident shop cat until adopted by SARA's Treasures manager Melinda McCormick in March of 2004.

George George was rescued from LCAS in 2002. We adopted him out but he was returned for health reasons. With the help of Dr. Patricia Shae, we realized George had been shot. With the pellet removed, George now leads a healthy pampered life in his forever home.

Rolley Rolley was found wandering the streets of Junction City with another dachshund and when no one came to claim them, they were rescued by S.A.R.A. He's 12-15 years old and very thin, with a heart murmur & neglected teeth. After dental surgery his foster dad Tom (of the pet sitting service "Pets are People Too") found him a wonderful new home with one of his clients, who had a place in her heart and home for the elderly guy. He has 3 canine buddies now, and plays with all of them as though he's a much younger dog!

Is now Ranger (At far Left) Ranger became an immediate hit with all of the Walker furry family members – and, of course, with me! He is gentle and sweet. And, yet, at times he is a very mischievous boy! His best friend is Monte, the blonde terrier in the matching jacket. Although there is a vast age difference (Monte is 4 and Ranger is approximately 15), the two have closed the gap: Ranger loves to clean Monte, they cuddle together at night or for naps, and they even play! Older dogs make wonderful family additions because they seem so much more appreciative. He is my second older boy that I have adopted. And, you know that old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Not true! Ranger has learned the commands to “come,” “sit” and, “wait.” We are so grateful to SARA for bringing Ranger into our lives. We love him immensely! DIANA R. WALKER, CSPG

Hi to everyone at SARA - Thought you'd enjoy seeing how well Tiger Lily and her "sister" Bearcat are getting along. These pics were taken over the course of the first week we had Tiger Lily. It's now been 11 days, 9 of which the girls have been physically together. The two kitties are now inseparable - they play together, chase toys together, watch the birds & squirrels together, & sleep together. Bearcat grooms Tiger Lily for at least 15-20 minutes at a time, and Tiger Lily purrs & leans into it as if Bear were her mother! If they lose track of each other they each have a special call they use to summon the other. They have been pals right from the beginning. Best wishes to all of you for the Holidays! -Bonnie & Mark, Tiger Lily & Bearcat |
