Happy TAILS Brad andJasper Brad was hoping to get another service dog, after his previous, elderly Haven dog, Harley, sadly passed away. The only problem was that he was in Minneapolis. Luckily, on a quick trip to Florida, he stopped by The Haven in Alabama and met his new best friend and Emotional Support Dog, Jasper. Jasper is a lively 6-month-old hound mix who loves his new friend and home. “I take him to the park and also an open field
to run around off-leash. He loves it! We also go for a walk in the evening. He hasn’t seen snow yet, so that will be a new experience for him.” While Brad completes his master’s degree online, Jasper keeps him company.
Izzy Coraline, a stray cat, was brought to The Haven and was obviously on her own for quite a while. She was sweet and loved the attention, so she was clearly someone’s pet in the past. According to Alecia, Adoption Coordinator, “Coraline was about ten years old and quickly became a favorite at the shelter, with her cute little chirp meow and her “love nips.” She loved to be held! When Amy Boles brought her mother-in-law, Sue, to The Haven to look for a lap cat for Sue, a lap cat is what she found in Coraline. Coraline settled comfortably into Sue’s lap for brushing. Amy said, “My mother-in-law is loving her new companion – now named Izzy! Whenever I go over to visit, I find them snuggled in “their” favorite recliner. They are certainly the perfect pair. Thank you for adding some sunshine into Sue’s life! I had not seen her smile so big as when she brought Izzy home from the shelter. The fact that you provided everything we needed to get started was a great bonus. We are very thankful to have such a sweet shelter in our community!”
He was thrilled with The Haven’s ability to help him find his new pet companion.
