Helen Krause Animal Foundation

Dear Kim:

Thanks so much for checking on Burke. He is absolutely wonderful. It's as though he has been a member of the family for years. He is a perfect gentleman, and we adore him. His health is excellent, and his skin issues have pretty much cleared up. He gets along very well with our other "kids", and he even loves playing with our one year old kitten.

He has been so cute with my husband. We have nicknamed him Pounce del Lion, as he literally pounces on my husband's lap every time he sits down.

Take care, and please feel free to use Burke's Happy Ending story!

Best regards, Tara S.

Hi! My name is Mandy. I am a yellow lab about 7 years old. On October 8, 2008, my life changed forever. You see, before then, I was tied outside with no one to love me and was forced to endure the elements. I was brought to Helen O. Krause when my owners surrendered me and life has now become a whole new adventure! After my adoption I was provided with a lot of love and attention to transition into indoor living. I get to sleep on the couch and in bed which really makes my tail wag! I became buddies with my older sister Shania who has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I really miss her. My new house includes 2 cats as well - Sour and Skittles. My activities include swimming, many daily walks and meeting new canine friends. I now had a new little sister, Marly. She too is a yellow lab. In the picture, I am the pretty girl of the left! Marley loves to clean my ears and that is ok with me. My new names include ManDog, Mandy May and "you're my girl!". Thanks to the Helen O. Krause shelter, I was able to find my forever home. A big thanks to the volunteers that took care of me while I was there. I love my new family, indoor living and sleeping with my human companions. I will be forever grateful!

Wags and Kisses,

Mandy

Dear Staff,

Here is a picture of Boyd. It has taken him some time to adjust to his new surroundings. He loves being around people and follows us around the house. He has learned quite easily, to go up and down the steps (Boyd is blind). He even plays on them! He also loves all of his toys. We would like to thank the staff at HOKAFI for not giving up on Boyd. He is one of the most loving cats we have ever experienced.

Thanks Again,
The Guise Family

Just a little note to thank you for allowing us to adopt Rocket (aka Carlos). He has come a long way with his manners and truly has added much joy and entertainment to our lives. He has quite a personality!

He spends his days playing in the back yard and evenings lounging on the couch. We love him very much and it’s hard to believe no one wanted him! We would gladly own 10 more dogs if they were all like him!

Thank You!
The Yohe’s
