Bridge Kids begin with Nik leaving behind a grieving Mike & Donna, then Julio leaving Tina to mourn, Mika leaving Karen & Byron, Snoopy leaving Nancy. K-9 Bereavement Counselor contact is Michelle at mzcgrief@yahoo.com if you need to talk with someone who understands your grief. It is never easy losing the ones we love, the pitter patter of little paws & the wagging tail, the soft purring & whiskers.

 Foster Care is so important as the fur-kids get more individualized attention. Fosters are doing a fantastic job. They evaluate their likes & dislikes which will help you know if this pet is a suitable match for your home.

Good Samaritan Care Center visits were Tickles & Hercules with Allan & Judy. The little ones make lovely lap pets for the residents to hold, pet.

Adoptions for the month began with BoBo, Pooky, Alfie leaving from the Sanctuary. Tickles was another failed Fostering 101 as his foster mom adopted him. Judy V placed Frack in his fur-ever home. Tasha was transferred to Nancy with FlawDogs. Last adoption of the month was BabyDoll, Sanctuary resident yet leaving from Ft. Timmerman.

June 6 Be A Good Dog University came to Cole Camp with instructors Trina Grubaugh & Gwen Lau. On the lawn of Rosebud Gifts & Fabric there were pet games, an agility course, plus a FREE seminar with one-on-one assistance for your pet problem. Tickles was leash trained within 10 minutes. Mildred was given hints to keep Elmo from jumping up when folks visit. Jade was given a hint on how to let Charlie meet other dogs without growling. The water relay is always fun as pets & handlers race to fill up the containers. Beginners were able to tackle the agility course. Hercules watched it all as Mascot of Rosebud while Char worked. Kiki, Pooky, BabyDoll, Cinderella, Lil Rambo were in attendance for the social time. By the end of the day many of the fur-kids were coming up to be petted or to sniff fingers.

Please contact joan@petfinder.com & tell her about your senior pet adoption experience and what you would say to encourage other adopters to consider adding a senior pet to their families. Even though we update the profiles of your experiences this is the time to share with joan@petfinder.com directly.
