We love hearing from our adopters and how each animal is doing in their new home! Here are some Happy Tails that have been shared with us from previous adopters of the Guelph Humane Society.
We brought home our sweet boy on June 16th. He fit right in with the family. He loves tummy rubs and playing fetch with a crinkle Pom Pom. He runs to the door when we arrive and gives the softest meow as a greeting. He is full of energy but also loves to cuddle, the closer to our faces the better. H...Read Moree has brought us so much joy, laughter and love.
Storm was surrendered by his original family as they were moving out of the country. He was at GHS for only 1 day when we began the adoption process. After meeting him for the first time we fell in love and knew he would be the perfect addition to our little family! He’s a gentle giant with so muc...Read Moreh love to give. If we are laying down he will smother us with sloppy kisses and hugs! He loves to lay in our laps while watching movies - he doesn’t realize how big he is! On walks, he’s learned to walk beside us and to sit at every road before crossing. He’s almost 11 months now and is doing so well in his new home with his new mommy & daddy and older brother Rocky (our cat!). They’re slowly being introduced and seem to be liking each other so far 🐾🤍 thank you GHS!
Ary came to us from GHS almost 2 months ago and has become best friends with our dog! She is very vocal and makes her presence known. Ary loves to be around people and spends her time sleeping on your chest!
We adopted Taz (originally Persephone) in mid March, and we're so glad we did! She's such a brave and energetic little rabbit who really lives up to her name - she loves doing zoomies in circles and making a mess of her hay when she free roams. She also enjoys her pets and will come boop us whenever...Read More she wants attention, or she'll jump into our laps on the couch for cuddles. She's very curious, and often sneaks into rooms with us when we aren't looking, but I guess it pays to be so small and quiet! She's been adjusting really well, and started flopping almost immediately. She's also getting used to having a hedgehog brother (who we also adopted from GHS in the fall of 2021!) and has truly just been the greatest addition to the family!
Baldwin (formerly Wyn) was adopted 4 weeks ago and has settled beautifully into our family. When he is not cuddling up with one of his humans or finding a new place in our home to explore, Baldwin can be found trying to encourage his new feline sister Shadow to play. Our dog Watson is still trying t...Read Moreo work out how to join in and so far spends his time supervising them. It’s never a dull day with Baldwin and we wouldn’t want it any other way!
When I was living in Guelph in 2019, I found this spicy girl at Petsmart. She adapts very well to new surroundings, as long as it’s on her terms. The moment I took her out of the carrier, she smacked me when I tried to pet her, then came to sit in my lap, lol. Even though she doesn’t particul...Read Morearly like change, as long as I’m there she seems to do okay. After Covid hit, I made the difficult decision to move back to be with my family in Arizona. She trekked the whole car ride with me and was surprisingly adventurous, as seen in this photo of her in front of a QT gas station somewhere in the US. We are both doing well in the desert! She loves to sunbathe, and sheds a lot as a result. She loves her trash toys (plastic forks, straws, twist ties), and FOOD. We have to have all food locked up so she doesn’t become a little thief! She’s got the feistiest tortitude I’ve ever seen, especially if you tell her “No”… and we wouldn’t have it any other way. <3
Toad is his very own character. He goes between all 3 of our chicken flocks but was often picked on due to his gentle demeanor. He settled himself in with the Bantam chickens for night time but during the day he does his own thing. He recently started dating a Rhode Island Red hen named Cookie. He l...Read Moreoves to follow us around and to be carried and snuggled. He is more of a puppy than a rooster. He is the only Rooster I know who wags his tail side to side.
Andre came to us from GHS with his Buddy Toad. Andre has his very own coop with 4 hens that were surrendered to us. He loves meal worms and digging in the dirt. He and his flock love standing on top of the hill and have claimed it as their own. He has the best comb-over and we love him.
We brought Zelda home to be a friend for our other adopted budgie, Peter. They took to each other immediately and are loving life together. Peter was quiet but now they sing together all day. Zelda is a really good flier and enjoys fresh Millett while sitting in a sunny window. He also likes sitting...Read More right inside the food dish so Peter can't get any🤣
We adopted Cleveland (aka Kitty White Paws, aka Keevies) with his brother Ocean. Cleveland is the calmer of the two, and an absolute joy. Ocean is a lawful kitten, through and through! The boys love one another and our 3 young daughters - it could not have worked out better! Thank you GHS!
We adopted Paddy about a month ago and he has quickly become a member of the family. He loves doing binkies around the house and loves being around people. We often find him sprawled out on the couch with the kids. He’s slowly warming up to our other bun, Izzy. We’re confident that they’ll be ...Read Morebuddies in no time!
Fudge joined our family about a month ago. At first she was a little shy, hiding in her tunnel - but it did not take long for her to become fast friends with our older guinea pig girl, Reece! Now she starts squeaking any time someone opens the refrigerator door...because it's lettuce time! Fudge is ...Read Morenow comfortable in her new house and looks forward to play time on the floor and (best of all) snack time - she has a new fondness for watermelon and cucumbers. We're so happy to have Fudge in our family and our older guinea pig is thrilled to have a friend to hang out with.
