Foster of the Week: Lucy Lu

HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! I’M LUCY!!!

It is soooooo good to meet you! Do you want go for a run? Play? Wrestle? Snuggle? Chew on some toys? Fetch? Take a nap?

What should we doooooooo????????

Everything?!?!?!

You know, I wasn’t always this happy. I used to be so shy and nervous, scared of everything. I had a home, things were good, but then one day I found myself in a crate in this strange woman’s house. She was very nice, if not a little goofy, and I was sure she meant no harm, but everything was strange and scary. She kept her distance, but kept offering food until my fear softened, which was actually my stomach growling, and I finally decided to venture out of my crate.

Guess what happened then!?!?!?

She had MORE FOOD!! And OTHER DOGS who I could play with. And leashes for WALKS!!!!

Guys, it was SO AWESOME!!!!

I was still scared, but the goofy lady of love was very patient and, well, loving. Then I got moved again. And I was scared again. Less scared than before, but still nervous. Again the people were so patient and kind and now? I HAVE THE BEST LIFE EVER!!

I have a Boston Terrier BFF who is AWESOME! We play and wrestle all the time. (Sometimes I accidentally fall off the bed when we are wrestling… Oops!) We are superstar nappers too. Uh huh. And I get to go to dog daycare. Do you know how many friends I have there? OVER FORTY! There are toys and pools and so much space to run. There are even comfy beds and tons of snuggle buds to choose from. It’s the best! Then I get to go home with my people and wiggle in nice and tight for more snuggles. There’s always room for Lucy!

It really doesn’t get any better. I am always happy; my tail is always wagging, bum always shaking. I love this new life with my whole heart.

I guess there is one way my life could be better: A forever home.

People who will love me as much as I can love them: madly and deeply. People who will understand that I can be shy and timid in new situations, but if you can be patient with me, I can learn to trust you. And people with another dog, because I can’t imagine life without canine siblings.

Read my bio, apply to adopt me! Let’s meet!

Foster of the Week: Crossy

crossy2

 

Finally! You’re here! Let’s go sit and cuddle, you can rub my head while I tell you all about me.

My name is Crossy. I’m six years old and sweet as can be.

I came to Zoe’s as an SNR. Zoe’s has a fabulous Spay/Neuter Return program and I came in to be spayed. However, during my examination, it was discovered that I have an autoimmune disease: eosinophilic granuloma complex. That’s what was causing all the sores on my body. (I looked pretty rough when I came in.) Having been properly diagnosed, the lovely Zoe’s people could treat my sores and try to make sure I don’t get them again. I am feeling SO much better!

Eosinophilic granuloma complex is easy to treat. All it takes is a simple steroid shot. My foster mom sneaks it when I’m devouring some delicious wet food and I don’t even notice.

I LOVE people. Love, love, LOVE them!! I am ecstatic when my foster mom comes home. I run to greet her at the door and sweetly demand snuggles. There’s nothing I love more than sitting on her lap, snuggling and head-butting her. She let me sleep on her bed with her and I didn’t even know what to do with myself. A WHOLE night snuggled next to my human!?!? How could life possibly get any better!!??

My foster mom says I make her feel like the most important person in the world. I love her so much.

I also love when people come to visit. I always say “a stranger is a just lap you haven’t yet had the chance to warm.” I like other cats too, but not all of them are as friendly and outgoing as I am. I forget that sometimes, so I can be a little too much for them. I just need reminders and proper introductions so I don’t overwhelm my feline friends.

I can get very carried away with my love and affection, which sometimes leads to mouthing and biting. I don’t mean to hurt and my foster mom is working on this with me, but I shouldn’t be around young children until I get a handle on this. I really don’t want to hurt anyone.

So. Now that your lap is warm and you know all about me, whaddya say we go on over to my bio so you can apply to adopt me?

Foster of the Week: Colby Cheese

13603796_722697244539701_3775812910887168277_o

 

Hi, I’m Cheese! Colby Cheese.

Where’s your car? You DO have a car, right? Good. Let’s go for a ride!

Ahhhh…. I love the wind in ears! This is the life, I tell ya!!

I’m originally from Niagara Falls, what a fun little town! And now I’m here in Alberta. I’ve been all over this province, but I think it’s time I settle down.

I’ve settled into a great routine in my foster home.

My day starts bright and early when my foster dad wakes up. He comes to get my foster sister and me, then we go upstairs for a 45 minute snooze on the bed with my foster mom. I wait for my foster dad to tell me it’s ok to jump up on the bed, then I give my foster mom a quick kiss and settle in for a nap. She never sleeps long enough, but getting up with her means a walk and FOOOOOOD.

I start every day with a short walk. I keep hoping we’ll go for a car ride instead, but nope. Always a walk. My hound nose loves to sniff EVERYTHING. EVERY. THING. There are SO many smells out there! My foster mom doesn’t mind, but sometimes my nose gets carried away and she has to remind me that we are walking, not sniffing. I am very considerate of my foster mom and always do my business beside a garbage can. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.

After my walk, it’s time for breakfast!!! My foster mom likes me to sit nicely until she serves breakfast. It’s SO hard when I’m SO hungry, but I try with all my might. After I gobble up my breakfast, I go upstairs to see who’s still sleeping. I crawl into bed with one of the kids and sleep until they get up. The girls take me on another short walk before lunch, then I spend the afternoon hanging out, being a dude. I love laying in the grass or sprawling out on the lounge chair for an afternoon siesta. I laze until dinner time. Food is my jam!

Evenings are for my people, I love my people almost as much as I love food. We go for an evening walk, then lay on the couch until bed time. I follow whoever goes up to bed first and snuggle with them until it’s time to go to my bed for the night. Sometimes my foster parents are too lazy to argue with me about going to my bed, my puppy eyes are extremely hard to resist, so I get to sleep in their bed with them. WINNING!!

It’s a great life with my foster family, they are so good to me. But, as much as I love living here, I am ready to find a forever home. One without cats!! That’s pretty much my only request. Cats flick my ‘Hunt Mode’ switch with a quickness! I’m happy with adults and kids and I don’t mind other dogs. I would like a home where my people are home more than they are away. And where there are lots and lots of treats! And a car. My life would be so sad without car rides.

So whaddya say? Check out my bio, apply to adopt me, and make me your passenger seat pal!

Foster of the Week: Layla Maw

layla maw

Hi there, I’m Layla. Pleased to meet you.

Curl up with me in the sunbeam? It’s one of my favourite places to lay.

I came to Zoe’s a couple months ago with my babies. I was pretty nervous, my babies were only one day old when we were taken to this new place. I didn’t know what was going on. The people ended up being so, so lovely. They gave me such a nice space to take care of my babies and then they helped find loving forever homes for each one. And now here I am! Looking for a forever home of my own.

I’m a pretty easy going girl, my foster mom says I am sweetheart. I really love to be around my people. I always try to snuggle up to my foster parents at night, but sometimes the foster dog, Jamba, is already on the bed. I don’t mind dogs, but this one? He likes to torment me. Small dog syndrome probably…. I get along great with the rest of the dogs in my foster home. There’s also a litter of kittens here that I help take care of. They don’t have a mama with them, they need some love.

As lovely and loving as I am, I am still very playful! I love playing with toys and chasing them around. I love my scratching post, too. If you ask me, I am perfectly balanced. I love people and cuddles, but I am perfectly content to curl up in my favourite chair for a snooze. I am fun and playful, but not overly kittenish with super high energy. And I don’t mind dogs, cats or kids, but please know I can be a little choosey with other cats and I much prefer kids who are gentle and respect my space when I ask for it.

Also – did you know August is Kitty Extravaganza here at Zoe’s? That means my adoption fee is reduced!! What are you waiting for?? Check out my bio and apply to adopt me!

Foster of the Week: Morgan Freeman

13325464_708096835999742_7272900467902857597_n

*Bump*

Oh, pardon me…

*Bump*

Oops! Excuse me!

*Bump*

*Sniff, sniff*

Hmm….you smell human. Listen, I’ve got an itch right behind my ear. Would you mind?

Ahhhh….. That’s better, thank you.

Hi! I’m Morgan! Sit down beside me and let’s play a game. I’ll tell you three things about me and you have to guess which one is a lie.

  1. I’m 10 years old.
  2. Famous actor Morgan Freeman was named after me.
  3. I’m blind.

Can you guess which one isn’t true? I know, I know. Too easy, right? I just wanted you to sit beside me and pet me. Now that you’re here, there’s no sense in getting up. Let’s chat.

I’m looking for a forever home. I had a family but they weren’t able to properly care for me, so Zoe’s took me in. I took a little time to adjust in my foster home, being blind makes new environments a little nerve-wracking, but nothing keeps me down for long! I’m always smiling!  As long as I have a patient human by my side…

I went to Kause for Paws at Koch Ford on the weekend. It was a little much, not gonna lie…. I don’t really like big open spaces, they’re very hard for me to navigate. But once we settled inside where people registered, I was able to relax. The best part was all the people; a solid five hours of love, cuddles and scratches. That’s the good life….

Bark on the street is that senior dogs have a hard time getting adopted. I don’t understand that at all. Senior dogs are the best!!

No offence to puppies, they are pretty cute, but us older dogs are so much easier. We don’t ask for much: love, food and a comfy spot to lay our heads. At least that’s all I’m looking for. That and a home where I can be close by my people at all times. Being alone for too long makes me restless and I start to investigate things I probably shouldn’t. Like the kitchen counters…. In my defence, I don’t exactly know it’s the kitchen counters I’m surfing. It’s not like I can see that I’m in the kitchen. Wink, wink….

My age and vision impairment don’t hold me back at all. I hope it won’t hold you back from applying to adopt me!

Foster of the Week: Sunshine Malala

13220629_697552277054198_7784422630759894308_o

I am your sunshine, your only sunshine.
I’ll make you happy when skies are grey.
You’ll always know, dear, how much I love you.
I’ll never take my sunshine away……

Hey there! I’m Sunshine Malala.

I’m kind of a PSA cat. A two-fold PSA cat, actually.

Firstly, postpartum psychosis is REAL and it’s SCARY. It’s even scarier when you’re an animal and your humans don’t know why you’re being so terrifyingly violent. That’s how I came to Zoe’s. I had a litter of kittens, my hormones didn’t re-balance properly and the result was anything but friendly. I was surrendered because I was unpredictably dangerous and my family didn’t know what to do. I was so scared. I didn’t know what was going on – inside or outside my body.

The people at Zoe’s didn’t know if I could be saved, but they refused to give up on me until every possible avenue had been exhausted. I was booked for a spay, as all Zoe’s animals are, with the hope that it would help.

Which brings me to my second PSA: SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMAL FAMILY!!

Truth be told, I really didn’t need to have kittens and I didn’t need to suffer through postpartum psychosis. Neither would have happened had I been spayed as soon as possible. This all could have been prevented with a simple procedure.

Thankfully I am so much better now. I am sunshine personified. Well, feline-ified. I am happy, I am not scared or aggressive anymore. Other than my aggressive pursuit of affection and attention. I am quite vocal about my desire for affection; so if you want me to be quiet, you need to love me until I am satisfied. Also I must have chin scratches in the morning, I will head butt you square in the face until you give them to me. It’s best to just give in and love me.

My foster parents will tell you I’m a treat thief, but I disagree. The treats ARE for me and all I am trying to do is eat them. How can a cat thief something that is FOR THEM? I don’t get it. Humans are silly. They are the ones who bring the treats home though, so I let the silliness slide.

My foster families have been so great, I owe them my life, but I am now ready to move on to a forever family. I have few requirements, the main one being the only sunshine in your life. I don’t like dogs and I can take a long while to warm up to other cats. I’m not saying I could never be friends with another cat, maybe I just haven’t met the right one yet. Other than that, I require love and hugs, scratches and treats.

If you can give me that, I will be your sunshine forever.

Happy Tails Update: Parvo Puppy to Fury of Love

The Mighty Imperator Furiosa (or Fury for short) has fast become a part of our family. She had Parvo when we adopted her, but she long ago kicked that and has been healthy ever since. She still loves string and rope toys, since her fosters originally played with her using a Cat Toy, so we have to be very careful with her as if she eats string that might be a blockage which would be bad! She also loves playing fetch with a ball, and actually has taken to playing catch, where she will dangle her front paws over the back of the couch and wait attentively to be thrown a ball or toy. There were a few issues with weight, but we’ve recently switched food on the recommendation of a vet to a tastier, higher calorie food and that seems to have done the trick. She was never underweight, and believe me, has had NO issues with energy, but she wasn’t quite as well built as you’d like for a dog so young. But she’s putting on more muscle and is ever more feisty.

At the end of march we welcomed our first non-fur baby to the family and Fury and Felix could not be getting along better. On the advice of your amazing staff we made sure to socialize Fury with small children, babies and a range of ages so that she could deal with all of them, and Fury treats Felix very carefully. Every time he makes noise, she trots over and sticks her head in his bassinet to make sure she’s okay. She gazes longingly at him from the corner of blankets, waiting for the day when this little tyke will become her best friend and play with her forever. I’m sure she can’t wait.

Maggie Hamilton's photo.

Fury has also had a positive effect with other dogs as well. She is a little afraid of other dogs, but reliable trips to the dog park has made her more and more courageous. In particular, my sister-in-laws dog Charlie was never really a fan of other dogs, but took to Fury right away. Charlie is older than Fury, but still enjoys playing and roughhousing, running after balls or frisbees with the younger dog, though occasionally Charlie will retreat to a high couch or seat where she can watch Fury’s puppy antics. Furiosa has been good for Charlie as well, as socialization with a puppy from a young age seems to have mellowed Charlie a bit, who used to suffer from anxiety and be very defensive around other dogs. She’s been more gentle, cautious, and forward about dealing with other dogs, which has been fantastic.

Yup, no matter which way you slice it, Fury has been a fantastic addition to our family and a top rate doggo. Well, she’s sort of terrible at the whole “guard dog” thing, despite her Sherperdly alarm bark (just today she failed to wake up when the utility girl walked into our yard to change over our power to a digital meter). But luckily, all she has to do in the Phillipchuk household is play, go for walks, wrestle and chase toys. 😀

We couldn’t be happier with Fury, and our experience with Zoes animal rescue was absolutely top notch from beginning to end.

The Mighty Imperator Furiosa (formerly KD Lang) came into care with her siblings, very sick with Parvo. Thank you to everyone who worked to get this litter in top notch health and heartfelt thank you to Fury’s adoptive family for this wonderful and touching update.
