The family of Nikki writes:

"Hi, I would like to add one of my pets to the adoption gallery. Although I am not the one who originally adopted her, I would like the people at the shelter to see how she has come along. I found her as a stray who was near death about a year and a half ago, she loves to "escape" and on one of her journeys we found her old owner, who was surprised that she wasn't dead yet.

You may know her as Sky or Cheyenne, but she is now my Nikki. She loves my son, and sometimes the cats. She is a very loyal and obedient dog and her personality just shines. I'm so glad to have her as a valued member of our family."

Hello,

My name is Kylie. I am 12 years old. My family adopted our dog Jasper (border collie mix), originally named Boo from the humane society in August 2000. When we got him, he was around 1 1/2, and now is a beautiful 5 years old. We believe that he was abused prior to being in the humane society ... because he is very nervous around strangers and is arfaid of pretty much everything. Jasper is very gentle around small children and is a big couch patatoe.

When we were trying to name him he would bark at the names he didn't like.

We then decided on Jipper, but since my youngest sister couldn't pronounce his name, we named him Jasper.

Jasper is, and always will be, a very special member of our family! We love him terribly and couldn't bear to have anything happen to him. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful dog!
