Marvelous May

Hello, HEA friends!
Many of you have been asking "How are things going at the new Green Bay Adoption Center?" The answer is...GREAT! In fact, we've been busy most every day since our Grand Opening on May 8. Excuse the lag time in postings - we've just been a little preoccupied with getting NINETEEN animals from the Center (plus a few from the Sanctuary!) into their new homes!!

Because we have so many happy stories (and faces!) to share with you from our May adoptees, we've created an album on Facebook that you can check out here. (Remember, you don't have to have a Facebook account to peek!) Info on each can be found in the captions below their names.

There was one special kitty who we didn't get a picture of before he headed home - that was Jasper! His new family includes a cat sister who is also an HEA alum, and they live in Green Bay. We couldn't let that great news go by just because we didn't have a photo of Jasper!

So if all the rest of the adoptee pics are in the Facebook album, you might be wondering, "Who is that handsome dude in the pictures at the top of this posting?" Longtime volunteers know him as Choco, but to his new family, he's Moose. Moose waited quite a while at HEA for his forever family, but the wait was certainly worth it. Please read the update email from Moose's mom below to see how happy his story turned out.

Thought we would share Moose's first adventure in swimming. It took a little longer for us to get him there this spring as we first had to buy a larger car to get him and Mona there. I think you remember helping us get him in the back of our little black car. Well now Moose has a larger car to ride in for swimming, and his visits to the vet clinic in Madison. By the way, the last time Moose was there the pressure in both of his eyes had dropped considerably. They are very happy with his post surgery eye pressure. He is still on 4 different eye drops but is going back in July and we are hoping that if the pressure remains low, they will discontinue more of his meds. It did not seem that Moose had ever been swimming. He was following Mona around and did swim some, but would not fetch the tennis ball like Mona was doing. Not bad for a first trip tho with brand new eyes!!!!

Clearly, Moose sure had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. As the title of this post says, he and the rest of the furry kids who found their way "home" this month definitely had a Marvelous May!
