Success Stories

Two of our kittens, Mouse and Tabitha. What a lovely home they have been accepted into.
Rika’s Story
My early puppy life was not so good and I ended up at the CHB SPCA where I stayed for many months as I waited for my turn to be adopted.  I was a rather large puppy and was given the name MARTHA.

The months went by and still no one took me home.  

It was August 2007 when I was about 6 months old, when a new volunteer arrived to help out on Saturday mornings.  She did not pay too much attention to me in the first few weeks but one day while I was sitting by the dog run gate she looked straight at me and came over to say hello.  I was sitting in my best pose looking a bit aloof as I did not want to look too excited and put her off.  

Well it worked, I was adopted a couple of weeks later after her other half had given me the once over.  They took me home, which I found out I had to share with 3 cats, a whippet, 4 chickens, and several fish.  

They renamed me RIKA.  

 

Lazing in the sun, oh what a life!

I gave mum a bit of a rough start as I dug holes everywhere!  But they liked me and even thou they threatened to take me back, I got to stay.  

I have the bestest home, I get to stay warm and dry inside during winter and outside in the cool during summer.  I am spoilt rotten with lots soft toys and walks, and dog treats.  Mum calls me her big gentle bear.  I have a soft personality and wouldn’t hurt a fly – really I wouldn’t…..
