Blackie

This is Blackie, formerly known as Salem. He was adopted by my son at the same time I adopted Stardust (now Oreo) in March of 2005. Blackie is 100% all cat. He is very solid and very muscular. He is totally black with penetrating yellow eyes and resembles a black panther. Blackie knows what he likes to eat and that is mainly poultry and meats. He loves chicken the most, but will settle for bits of pork or beef. Blackie will try to get into the refrigerator and when the door is open and he is hungry, look out! Total carnivore, but he will settle for dry cat food when he has to. Blackie has gotten a lot better with kids and now he will seek out my grandchildren for some petting and will sleep with them at night at the foot of the bed. He is a wonderful member of the family.

Kramer

Hello Everyone At CCHS!
You might remember me as "Guy", but I am now known as "Kramer". My parents adopted me almost 10 months ago, and so far life has been good. My mornings involve sleeping in, between my Mama and Dad in their warm cozy bed, going for a long morning walks, and then playing with my sister "Kloee", who you might remember as "Diamond". My parents brought her home a few months after they got me, so I would have a friend all day. We get to chase each other, cuddle, and play with our toys all day long while we are home alone. Once our parents come home, I get another long walk and then I spend the next hour playing tug of war, showing off all the tricks I have been learning (my newest one being "dance"), or snuggling on the couch. Kloee usually joins in the fun too by pouncing on me or stealing my toys.
Some of the best memories I have so far, since I came to my new home are the trips to my grandparent's cabin and playing in the lake, the 3 day backpacking trip my parents and I took through the Porcupine Mountains, snowshoeing with my Mama, and playing with my new found friend Teddy Bear (a puppy that was adopted from CCHS by my Auntie Holly S.)
Kloee and I miss you all, and hope we can get some new brothers and sisters from you in the future!!

Abby

Hello CCHS

We just would like to give you an update on Abby (aka Tera). She has come a long way since we adopted her in February 2010. She took a while to settle in to her new home but now is doing awesome. She was 19 pounds when we picked her up and has grown to 28 pounds since then.

She loves to go to the beach in the summer; her favorite things to do there are digging in the sand and running as fast as she can. She also loves to travel, going to visit family all over Wisconsin and Michigan. Now that the snow has fallen, we take her skiing, snowshoeing and she loves to play 'hockey'. She will take the puck and run with it…. Silly Dog.

Merry Christmas and Thanks for all you do!

Matt, Amy and Abby

Ella (aka Cruella)

Ella Bella Panda (formerly Cruella) has three names because she is so special. We adopted Ella in March from the Humane Society. She had the reputation of being rather crabby and unfriendly. She is now the queen of our home and is loving and gentle. She greets everyone at the door and waits to be petted.

Ella never misses a meal and gets rather disgruntled when her food bowl is empty. Unfortunately, she is like Garfield and thinks the word diet is die with a "t".

We are so happy we adopted Ella and hope that others will consider giving a home to an unwanted animal.

Maggie

Hello!

My name is Maggie and I was a kitten at the Copper Country Humane Society in October 1994. I was at the Copper County mall the weekend of Tech's homecoming that year for your adopt-a-thon. That is where my Mom found me. You guys weren't sure about letting her adopt me because she lived down state, in Battle Creek. You were concerned that if she didn't like me I would be in trouble. You made special arrangements with her to bring me back if things didn't work out.

I wanted to write and let you know things worked out great and to thank you for letting Mom adopt me!!! I just celebrated my 16th year with Mom. She brought Dad home 7 years ago and I really like him too. He gives excellent scratches under my chin. Mom is petting me as I type this on Dad's laptop. I am a very vibrant teenage cat, happy and healthy. Mom says I have been a great friend through the years and Dad really didn't like cats much until I won his heart.

Thank you for my great life, for watching out for me when I was tiny, and for trusting your instincts and letting Mom adopt me. You do good work CCHS!

I am attaching some recent pictures of me, Dad got a new phone with a camera! I feel like a movie star with all the flashes going off!

Love,
Maggie

Titan

When we first met Titan, I will be the first to admit I wanted nothing to do with him. I was never a fan of pit bulls and seeing a dog standing in the back of his kennel growling and barking at me didn't help the image. But Patrick had faith that all he needed was a little love and time. So in September 2009, we tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to take him on the first walk. As soon as we got outside, Titan put the brakes on and was like a block of cement going through gravel.

I was ready to call it quits again, but Titan had already stolen Patrick's heart. So we came back again. And again. And again. And over time, we slowly started to see a change. At first it was little things; his tail didn't go quite as far between his legs, he didn't bark quite as much. Every small accomplishment that many people take for granted with their pet were milestones for Titan. A few of the most memorable were the first time eating a treat, the first time we saw his tail wag, and the first time he gave us kisses.

In June 2010, we were finally able to bring Titan home. Since then, we have seen Titan break out of his shell in ways neither of us could have imagined. I look forward to coming home from work every day to see his big pitty smile and a tail that wags so hard it could bruise you. He still has a ways to go but it's hard to believe how far he has come in just a year. He is a complete cuddle bug and wants nothing more than to burrow in your blankets and keep your feet warm. Titan is an incredible intelligent dog and is picking up new tricks every day.

I want to thank everyone that has helped Titan along the way. The staff at the Copper Country Humane Society has been so supportive while he was still at the shelter and even today. We have learned so much from working with Titan and encourage everyone to take a second look at the dogs who need a little more love. Thank you for helping bring such a wonderful dog into our family.

~Rachel, Patrick, and Titan
