Success
Stories Louie (Houdini) - Louie was transported up to The Putnam Humane Society in February 2006. Best Friends Animal Shelter contacted us and asked if we could take in some of the abandoned animals left from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. Louie (aka Houdini was one of the fortunate). We contacted his new forever home to see how he was doing…
“It was one year ago this month that I adopted Houdini, now known as Louie. We adopted him after he came up with other animals from various shelters after hurricane Katrina. Although he reminds us daily how he got his original name "Houdini", my family and I couldn't have picked a better dog to join the family. Louie is an extremely playful and loving pet who likes to play in the snow, go for car rides, have play-dates with his friends and just hang out with his family. Thank you Putnam Humane Society.” Tina Lopez Nitro and Cinders -
I first met Nitro in March of ’06 and took him home to foster. After a few weeks, I loved him so much I adopted him. Although he is a ‘senior citizen’ (about 10 years) with some medical issues he is remarkably energetic. He wakes up happy and truly enjoys life. He is a calm and affectionate friend and adapted to our home very quickly.
Recently we decided to foster another dog name Cinders. Like Nitro, he had been living at PHS for many years. He is also a ‘senior citizen’ (about 12 years) with some medical issues but is happy to have a new home and a new friend. Nitro and Cinders are getting along very well. The benefit of fostering is that there will be a support system available while caring for your dog. The shelter provides medical care for fostered pets and helps with other needs, too. Senior dogs need love and affection just like younger dogs. Seniors, however, are mature and patient. And at the sunset of their lives, they deserve some peace and happiness for whatever amount of time they have left here on earth. Senior dogs need to be given a chance. I took my chances and it has worked out really well for us. As much as they love me; I think I love them more! It is sad to have pets and then lose them. While we will always grieve our losses, there is always room in the heart to again take home a new friend or 2 to love and care for. Count -
Thank you all at the Putnam Humane for saving Dioji (aka Count)! Since adopting him, not a day goes by without him making us laugh! He is such a goofball. He has even made his sister Niko, a usually very serious 10 year old Madame Malamute, like a puppy again! He takes long hikes and runs through Ct. state parks off leash with us and is a very friendly boy to everyone he meets. Besides playing fetch, tug of war and tag at home, his favorite place to play is the beach! He can't seem to get enough of chasing the waves and gulls. Thanks again for making it possible for us to find the perfect match for our family. Romeo -
We can't even remember life without Romeo. He's been with us for 4 years now, but it seems as if he's been a part of our family forever. Ro-ro is our best friend, and we never think of doing things that exclude our fur-baby. The picture above is from Romeo on our Honeymoon in Maine. Though not much of a water-dog, he humored us with a wade into the ocean for a photo-op! Romeo takes regular trips to his grandparents house and loves to go for trips 'over the river and through the woods' to Farmor's(Grandma's) house. He's the sweetest 110lb lap dog you'll ever meet. We also brought home Milton, a FIV cat from the PHS. After a short stay on my lap each night, Milton cozies up to his buddy Romeo on the couch for a nap. The two are best of friends and seem to understand eachother. Recently we added another PHS resident to the family, Ernie. Ernie-nernie is a boxer/pit mix and a sweeter puppy has never lived. Ernie has worked his way into all out hearts, and now joins his big brother Romeo on trips to the grandparents. Thank you, PHS, for doing what you do. The love we've gotten from the former residents is invaluable. There are many more dogs that need caring homes at the PHS. Adoption is the way to go, and PHS is the place to do it! Myles
