UPDATE "Baby Ruth": Hi Charlene,
Baby Ruth renamed RBG for Ruth Bader Ginsberg, alias Ruthie, is as independent, beautiful & wise as her namesake. I’m suspicious that she has some Siamese in her genes because she’s very vocal & is a one person cat. She’s curious & playful & is without a doubt my best friend. She enjoys sitting in my lap with a good book & yoga, especially shavasana. I’m very thankful for Ruthie & Avery Humane as we approach Thanksgiving & our one year anniversary.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

UPDATE "Reyah": Reyah is now known as Laurel. She loves her new home and we love her very much. She is so comfortable around everyone and other dogs now. Her best buddy Chewy is the next door neighbor and they love to play with each other. She's been a beautiful addition to our family. Butch and Debra Butler

Meet 3 year old Husky/Terrier mix "Molly". This is sweet Molly. Molly is very afraid and confused right now. Her family brought her in because she is aggressive with small dogs. Molly used a doggy door when she needed to go outside to potty. She is friendly and playful with children. Molly is described as very loving.

UPDATE "Bernadette": Hi! Been a great year! She has grown into quite the family friend. I have yet to meet someone that hasnt said she was cute or sweet. I was wondering if you have gotten any updates on the rest of her siblings? Just curious where they are and what they look like.

UPDATE "Bodhi": We named him Jackson Brown and he is a sweet heart. And he now has a sister and he is grown quite a bit.

UPDATE "Sakari": Good morning Charlene! Her name has been changed to Mittens and she’s wonderful. She’s certainly a lazy cat that loves to snuggle, she loves to play with toy mice, and really enjoys following the dogs around the house. I have attached some pictures below so you can see how much she’s grown. I really appreciate all that you do and thank you for allowing this girl to be part of our family!!!
Thanks again, Sara Bare

UPDATE "Meatball & Liberty": These photos are from summer and early fall…
Sammie (Samantha) and Dean are doing well, and they have a young brother now, Castiel, who I adopted from a shelter near my Mom in Rutledge, TN.
They are all healthy and full of energy, love to run and play inside the house, and get along splendidly!
(Yes, as their names indicate—I’m big fan of the TV show SUPERNATURAL)
