MORE HAPPY TAILS

Hello Friends,

Thank you all for another great summer! Your extraordinary support has been appreciated more than you know.

One particular effort and donation from 14-year old Colby Simkovic is especially inspiring. Colby spent many days of his summer vacation building the incredible dog house pictured below. His goal is to be sure a needy dog will be warm and dry when the weather turns cold. People like Colby remind us that acts of giving and gifts of kindness are alive in young people, and that our hard work will continue with the next generation.

Our mission of helping families and animals in need is not possible without the support of enthu-siastic volunteers like Colby and generous friends like you. Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Jane Gapen

Director

HOPE FOR HUNTER

PUMPKIN

This sweet boy went home with Rose and Ted in 2013 and has overcome many

fears (of just about everything — people,

sudden movements, and especially noises). Now, he loves to go for walks in the

park.

Before

After

A long time resident of the Humane Society of Greene County found his forever home recently. Hunter, an older wire-haired terrier mix, was originally brought to the shelter last December, after being live-trapped by the state dog warden. Being timid and shy, there were days at the beginning of his stay that ken-nel attendants feared the small dog missing before finding him under the blue vinyl of his kennel bed. Many animals came in and were adopted during Hunter’s stay, as he crouched in ap-prehensive hiding.

Staff workers and volunteers took an interest in Hunter, noting that there are a lot of animals that are passed over for adop-tions in lieu of those that are more friendly and outgoing. “Just because they don’t have the typical personality that most peo-ple look for, doesn’t mean that they aren’t good dogs. It just means that they are special and therefore, require a special home. With patience, and TLC, these dogs find homes after months and sometimes years at the shelter. It is very reward-ing when they finally get adopted,” says one volunteer. “And we know this is the case for Hunter who was very fearful throughout the length of his stay but bonded quite strongly to those who worked with him regularly.” We wish Hunter, and his new family all of our best, and would like to express our gratitude to those who provide homes for animals like Hunter.
