Jake

My husband and I recently got married, and decided we would love to have a dog in our life. After almost going through with what turned out to be a scam on Craigslist, we didn't get the Yorkie puppy we thought was for sale. That evening, Dan (my husband) brought me to the Humane Society to check out some dogs. After the scam, and not being able to get my Yorkie, I was a little sad. But nonetheless, we decided to check out what the Shelter had to offer us. Looking around, there were beautiful dogs, but the Yorkie was still on my mind. As I was getting ready to walk out the door with my husband, he quickly suggested taking one of the beagle/basset hound puppies out so we could get to know them. I decided sure, why not? As we approached them, I was already falling in love. There was a brother and sister, both absolutely adorable. Dan and I each took one out, and while getting to know them, fell head over heels for these friendly, loving dogs. We took "Ozzy" (we renamed him Jake) home a
few days later, and he settled right into our lives.
His training has been going extremely well, and we're completely in love with him. I especially love that my husband picked him out! It's been so fun having a little friend around, and one that's so cuddly! Jake takes naps with me during the day, we go for walks together, and I bring him to visit family and friends (EVERYONE loves him).
Jake is more than a dog to me. He's helped me deal with my loneliness and anxiety while my husband is working late nights. He's become so special to me!
Thank you to everyone at the CCHS for allowing us to adopt our beautiful dog!

Lucky

We lost our beloved Chewy (Pitbull) to Cushings disease last Spring. She was so intelligent and sweet and it left a huge hole in our hearts when she died-we decided not to get another dog for awhile. I began looking at the websites that feature dogs in kill shelters and it just about broke our hearts to see the plight of these animals. I did attempt to adopt a dog from Tennessee that had a heart tugging story but the private rescurer turned me down because we didn't have a fence! Then I saw Luckys picture in the paper and the wheels started turning -his story was another of those sad stories that are so prevalent! We went to the shelter (before going in I had to compose myself and dry the tears) to see the Pitbulls and liked everyone we saw- but Lucky sitting in his kennel looking dejected touched my heart! We filled out the app. in Wal-Marts parking lot and took it back on the way home. My husband and I talked on the way home and decided to go back my next day off work and
play with the 4 dogs we liked the most-but in my mind I already knew who I wanted! A couple of days later I just blurted out to my husband-I want Lucky!- He agreed and its been nothing but good so far! We've had him a week today and he just bloomed-he is so loving and sweet and well behaved! This is a dog that was found roaming the streets in Madison Wisconsin-face bloody and skin hanging-by some miracle an Angel found him and paid for his medical bills and he went to several shelters before coming to Copper Country Humane Society to find us! WE are the lucky ones!
