Five More Head Home!

January has been a terrific month so far! In the last week alone, five wonderful and well-deserving critters found their forever homes.

Handsome Dusty, the dog who authored his own post here on the HEA blog back on Thanksgiving, has made AMAZING progress with his foster parents. So much so, in fact, that he was ready to go to a permanent home! And that would be with a neat lady named Carla, who lives in Oneida with one other dog. Dusty is already loving his new family and is getting spoiled - he had potato pancakes for breakfast on his first morning in his new home! (Dusty is the top picture here.)

Our gal Lisa (pictured 2nd from the top) had a great day last Saturday - a family from Oshkosh came out to visit and fell in love with this great dog. Her adoption paperwork was processed, and she was able to go home that same day. Now Lisa lives with her new mom Sara, her dad Dan, and their 5-year-old daughter Alicia. Alicia is homeschooled and is very excited to have Lisa as her new classmate!

Sweet, sweet Sally - a favorite of many HEA volunteers - got her happily ever after last week, too. Her new home is in Sturgeon Bay, where she resides with her mom Sarah, dad Greg, a doggie sister Pearl, and two cats. Sally loves them all...but ESPECIALLY the cats! Sarah reported, "Our cat Tullah came right up to her when Sally first walked in the door, and Sally gave her a huge kiss that made her fur stand up in all directions!" We weren't surprised to hear that, as Sally is definitely a lover of ALL creatures! You see Sally lying on the couch in her new home above.

But dogs weren't the only lucky ones this week - two cats made their way home, too! Kevin and his 6-year-old son, Elias, adopted both Randy (2nd to bottom picture) and Thomas the Tank (bottom picture). They live in Marion, so they didn't have to go too far from the Sanctuary to find a super family! Kevin and Elias already had one cat who was looking for some buddies. He'll definitely have that in these two boys!

Congrats to all these families and all these animals. We couldn't be happier for you!
