Francessca

Francesca who we now call Priya Jumped straight into life at our home. She has stolen our hearts and has become the center of our world. She has nearly doubled in size since our first vet visit when she weighed just 9lbs. Now at 17.5lbs she is a healthy/happy pup!! Priya loves the beach and charges her paws a little farther into the ocean each time :) Crate training and house breaking has been going about smooth as it gets as accidents are becoming few and far 'between. Her trick list now includes sitting and laying down! We are getting ready to start her 6 week puppy classes at Petsmart to see what else we can learn! The beginning of our journey has been amazing and we are so grateful she has joined our family!! Sincerely, Ellie, John and Priya!

FiFi

Hi Kathy! I changed FiFi's name to GINGER, because she is the color of gingerbread. She's already loved so much and a vital part of our family! She loves to chew, so I constantly get her new chew toys. She has had a problem with worms, out of mouth and rear! but Pet Calls gave me the medication she needed. Otherwise, she's healthy, happy, loves to play outside and lay in the sun. When I adopted her, she weighed 4.7 lbs. Now, she is 5.7! A growing girl. Thanks for checking on her!! This picture was taken 3/19, and the look on her face says "It was the cat, I promise!"

Foxi

Thank you, Kathy, for your follow-up letter. We have given Foxi a new name, “Bagel”. The first few weeks were difficult. Although she had no problem with eating and using the litter box, she would not come near us or let us approach or touch her. She cried for the first few days and looked for places to hide. I think she missed her cat family and seemed to be looking for them. So we gave her the space she needed and didn’t try to force ourselves on her, trying to slowly win her trust. The first breakthrough, after about 10 days, came when she responded to the soft little balls and crumpled papers and started to chase them when I threw them. That was our first interaction. Then, about a week later, she didn’t automatically scamper away when I slowly approached her, and let me pet the top of her head with 2 fingers. Now we have progressed to her enjoying a good head scratch and petting. She will jump on the bed and play or sleep when I am on it, and will even sit herself on me for a short while for petting. And I can approach and pick her up to hold for short periods of time if I move lightly and slowly. I don’t know that she will ever be the super affection-craving type of cat, but I think I can now say that she feels secure and happy to be here. She especially likes to watch the ducks, birds, geckos, cats and dogs that pass by from our screened porch. She is a beautiful animal and just a really cute kitten. I’ve taken her for her second shots and will take her for rabies shot next month. Thanks again for giving us this lively bundle. Phyllis Weaving

Frosty

Hi Kathy, I wanted to wait until I had some pics to go with my email. We began fostering Frosty, but he captured our hearts immediately. My son Logan (age 7) had a very long Christmas list for Santa, but on the way to see Santa decided that he didn’t want to give him the list. He decided he only wanted one thing on his list and that was to adopt Frosty. Santa had a great talk with him about the responsibilities of owning a dog. Christmas morning Santa left an amazing letter and great surprise for us! This little puppy is just amazing in our eyes and it feels like he has been a part of our family forever. Thank you so much to everyone over at Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue for helping to bring him into our lives!

Just making sure the visit and treatment is covered. If you have any questions please contact me at 561-436-0640 or email me. Merjeme Aviles
