March 3, 2008 Jada, now called Bella, adopted by the To family of Toronto, Ontario. Thank you Catherine for the beautiful photo's!!
Hi Kimberly April 22, 2008
Bella, a.k.a Jada, has been enjoying the DINK life (dual income no kids) with us. She loves everything - being at the cottage by the lake in the summer, tunnelling through the snow in the winter, her dog friends in the neighbourhood, and EVERY person she meets. She insists on kissing everyone and loves nothing more than a good belly rub. She is our constant companion and we are thrilled to have her. We are so glad we found Kismutt!
Here's a few pics with some of our adventures thus far.
All the best,
Cathy.

March 3, 2008 "Bogart", adopted by the Whitcroft family of St. Thomas, Ontario. Thank you Marcy & Dean for choosing to adopt!

March 3, 2008 ""Astro", a.k.a. Kane, adopted by the Connaghan family of Cambridge, Ontario! Thank you for opening your hearts and home to a beautiful dog in need!
Hi Kimberly, March 17, 2008
We thought you might enjoy a update on Astro (Kane). This picture is of Astro at his grade 1 graduation night. We are going to start grade 2 in a week. He is doing so well! Hopefully Astro will be doing flyball in the near future. The school we are going to is starting a mixed sports class and we can't wait. He is so much fun to have around and keeps us very active. Thank you so much! -The Connaghan Family "

March 3, 2008 Hi Kimberly! Do you remember the charming little puppy that you entrusted to us? He was about 6’’ high and couldn’t get up the stairs just 4 months ago……We love him!!!
Cheers! Derrick & Kim
LOL, yes, I remember him
- "Bluey" adopted by Derrick & Kim of Toronto Ontario! Thank you both for adopting this little wee puppy!

"Hailey", adopted by Ken & Heather of Kitchener, Ontario! Thank you for spoiling Hailey and providing her with a loving home!!! Dear Kimberly, Hailey is such a good girl and SO smart. Her favourite game is hide and seek, and she is really good at it!! This is her first winter and she loves running through the snow and chasing down snowballs. She is naturally good natured and has always strived to be good from the day we brought her home. Everyday is more wonderful now that she is a part of our family. We can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of Hailey when she was with you and letting us adopt her. The dogs are so well cared for and loved when they are with you. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do in making sure every dog has a loving home to go to, and letting Hailey’s loving home be ours :)
Heather

Isiah, now re-named Baily, adopted by Rob & Adriana of Markham, Ontario! Baily is a lucky little girl to have such an awesome new Mom & Dad 
March 6, 2008 Hi Kimberly, Thought I'd give you alittle update and post some more pictures of Baily. Where do I start, she is the sweetest most cutest puppy ever. I know I sound like a crazy dog owner but seriously, Rob and I feel very fortunate that she is so good.
She is housetrained (YAY in 2 weeks). Went quite well actually and she sleeps through the night 7 hours already. She has excellent leash manners...walks beside us, little to no pulling and always looking back at us. She will attend beginner classes in a couple of weeks to help us teach the basic commands. She seems ready now as she has shown us to be very smart!t!
Baily absolutley loves to play in the snow; if she had her drothers, she would spend all day in the backyard running around and digging snow holes to play in. She loves to find sticks and run with them. She gets lots of exercise, at least 3 good walks day plus all the running in the back yard and house play too. (it's no wonder she sleeps through the night). She doesn't bark. (how nice)
In any case, I could go on and on...please enjoy the latest pictures and we'll email again soon. Thank you again for choosing us to adopt such a sweet girl.
Cheers!
Adriana

Stella, adopted by Lauren & Paul of Mississauga, Ontario! Thank YOU Lauren & Paul for choosing to adopt!!
March 5, 2008 Kimberly, Thank you so much for everything you've done. What you do for these animals is unbelievable, and I wish that more people cared about animals the way you do.
Stella has made us happier then we could of ever imagined, and as crazy as she is, we can't imagine our lives without her!!! She's doing so well; she's 5 months and loves playing in the snow. We just finished 8 weeks of obedience classes and she finished at the top of her class!
Thank you again for everything you do - I tell everyone about your work and let them know if they're looking for a pet, to check your web site!
We'll keep in touch and send pictures as she grows!
Talk to you soon,
Lauren and Paul

"Gilbert", now re-named Qunicy, adopted by Lydia of Niagra-on-the-Lake, Ontario!! Thank you Lydia for choosing to adopt, and providing such a wonderful home for Gilbert. And what a beautiful poem you wrote. I just have to share......
February 20, 2008 Dear Kimberly, What in the world can we possibly say that will express our joy?
How can we possibly thank you for giving us this sweet little boy?
He may have no pedigree and of no great breeding can he boast,
but look at him - will you - he is finer in many more ways than most.
He is handsome, bright, loving and smart as a whip.
He's teething now, so we beg your pardon, as he does tend to nip.
But even with the training that it will take to refine our little man into a prince,
From the day he came we have not stopped laughing and smiling since.
KisMutt Rescue gave us the greatest gift when they allowed us for Quincy to care.
We now have a little soul with which our love and home to forevermore share!
Lydia :)

"Kenny", now re-named Blue, adopted by Pauline & Family of London, Ontario! Thank you Pauline & Greg for adopting Kenny and giving him a wonderful loving home! March 6, 2008 Dear Kimberly, Here is a picture of "Blue" and our other dog, Sadie. Sadie was so lonely after Mandy our rescued Greyhound died of old age; we knew we had to adopt again. My son, daughter, husband and I are having so much fun getting to know Blue. He is the nicest puppy, so loving, playful, smart and soft!
Sadie and Blue run around the backyard like crazy chasing each other, play tug of war with sticks and are loving the snow far more than we are right now....we want spring! God Bless you Kimberly in all that you do to make the lives of the unwanted, healthy and wanted!! "Blue sends cheek kisses"
Sincerly, Pauline, Greg, Daryl, Sarah and Sadie.

Mambo, adopted by the Pulis family of Markham, Ontario! Thank you Lisa for choosing to adopt and sending along this ADORABLE picture of your 3 babies! January 14, 2008 Hi Kimberly! Mambo is such a loveable character who steals the hearts of everyone he meets! He has a gentle personality and is full of charisma. Mambo has been a perfect addition to our family. Our adoption experience through Kismutt was wonderful, and Kimberly, you are a kind and generous women to open your home to animals in need of a second chance.
Lisa
"Sophie", was adopted by 2 very awesome people, Travis & Terra of London, Ontario! Thank you for opening your hearts and your home to a very special little girl!! February 13, 2008 Hi Kimberly! Sophie has quickly fit in/taken over since adopting her a few weeks ago. Many people have approached us regarding her eye and can't believe how upbeat and friendly she is after enduring such neglect. Our other dog Lucy (who is about 4 times her size) has had nothing but fun ever since we brought Sophie home as her new friend. They love to play tug-o-war, chase each other around and at the end of the day, they both agree on a good nap together. They may be an odd couple given their size and pedigree, but they are both definitely enjoying each other's company, as much as we enjoy theirs. We can't thank you enough for saving Sophie and giving us the opportunity to meet such a fun-loving and carefree dog.
Travis & Terra

SOPHIE IN RESCUE:

On a wintery New Years Eve, 2008, I got a call about a pup that needed help. I was told by the Amish Puppy Miller that a pup had an "eye infection", that he tried to medicate himself, but it wasn't working. He wondered if I was able to take her, but if not, he would just "dispose of her". When I arrived later that evening, there she was, shivering uncontrollably in a kennel all by herself, covered in sawdust, dehydrated, and in severe pain. I tucked her into my coat, did up the zipper, and thanked him several times for calling me.Her eye was ulcertated and perferated, and there was no saving the eye. She was suffering from Bronchitis, ear infections, and Coccidia. She was a very sick little girl, and it did not look promising for her to go into major surgery with Bronchitis compounding her troubles. On Jan. 2, 2008, as she went into surgery to remove her eye, I decided to name her, "Sophie".
Today she is a healthy, happy girl, who is full of life! God Bless you Sophie


January 13, 2008 Hi Kimberly, From that moment we brought Olive home, she was part of our family. I (Fiona) had never had a dog before, always cats. Boy has she wormed her way into my heart! My husband is just silly over her, an she just loves him.....she yips and yelps when he walks in. It was a long drive home after we adopted Olive, and Duncan slept on the floor with her, even though he usually sleeps on a top bunk bed. Olive is a celebrity with the kids in the neighbourhood and is so loving. In my son’s own words…”she is very loyal and we love her very much”. Thank you Kimberly, for saving and hand raising Olive until we could bring her home. I have attached a few pictures of our first year with Olive.
Kevin, Fiona and Duncan

"Annie", adopted by Valerie, of Mac Tier, Ontario. Thank you for opening your home and your heart to Annie....she is truly a special little Angel. Valerie writes......
Dec. 13, 2007 "Sorry we've been so long in sending pictures. As you can see Annie is doing well! We have been to 2 obedience classes. The first one she got the most sociable award, the second was a bit more successful! She is quite the girl, very head strong and full of mischief. Anyway we would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and thank you once again for our four legged bundle of joy and all the good work you do for the animals."

"Charles Boddington", adopted by Diane of Niagra Falls, Ontario! Thank YOU Diane, for giving Charlie the perfect home! Diane writes ......
Dec. 19, 2007 "Hi Kimberly, The only thing Charles Boddington, "Charlie", loves more than water is snow! He is usually outside playing with his brother Rosco and it's all I can do to get him back inside. Adopting each other was a joy from the beginning. He's very smart, fits in perfectly and loves everyone and everything--even the cats!
The best thing I ever did was look at your website and the best thing that
happened to me was being allowed to adopt Charlie. It has been so rewarding
having this little guy around. Thanks Kim, for what you do and the commitment
you make to every pet that comes into your life. Thank you for loving them
first. Diane Baldin"

"Lola", adopted by Mario and Marie-France of Welland, Ontario! Thank YOU for adopting Lola and providing her with a wonderful home! Mario writes.......
Dec. 18, 2007 Hello Kimberly,
"Thank you Kimberly for introducing Lola into our lives. We feel very fortunate to be able to share every moment with such a loving and well behaved dog. This would not have happened if not for Kismutt. We would also like to thank you for making the adoption process go so smoothly. It was a pleasure dealing with you because you were so professional.
Lola is adjusting very well to everyday life with us and our cat Mooka. She loves sleeping and snoring, going for walks and playing outside, but most of all, she LOVES eating cheese.
Thank you for all of the work you do.
Mario & Marie-France"

Jo Ellen writes........
Dec. 8, 2007 "Hi Kimberly... These two are just soooo adorable. They traveled so well, they both slept and played the whole way home. Of course, that was mixed in with all the kisses and hugs they were getting.
Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt these special puppies, they are just absolutely perfect. Right now Mavis is sleeping beside me and Suri is sleeping with Mom on the couch gaining some good ole rest time.
I have some photos of their first and second days with us, I hope you enjoy them!

She has bells that she rings when she needs to go potty and is completely house trained. Her favorite time of day is walking to the school to get the kids. We are so lucky to have her, thanks again. She truly is another member of our family. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Have a great Christmas!! Mark, Cindy, Cody, Casey & Kyle"

It's me "Cricket".... well now my name is Easton, because my new boy loves everything hockey! I'm having sooooo much fun at my new home. I am doing really good with housetraining - they taught me to ring a bell when I need to go outside and that works great because no one is guessing when I need to go out. I love to play fetch with my new boy and I also love bouncy balls ( I can jump higher than any dog on earth) !!!! Thank you for bringing us all together.
Easton, Curtis, Pam and Mike "

"Ingrid", who came from a Amish Puppy Mill was adopted by Tobie-Lynn & Joe of Simcoe, Ontario! A huge thank you to you for choosing to adopt this very tiny, but fiesty little girl!
"Hello Kimberly! Just wanted to give you and update on Ingrid (who we've nicknamed "Figgy") and send you some photos as well. She is a wonderful addition to our family - loves to play and explore the house and yard, and everyone has fallen in love with her!
She is well on her way to becoming a fashion diva - I am knitting and crocheting sweaters during her naps, to keep her warm in the cool weather. Her favorite toy is an orange hippo with a squeaker, and she loves to ease her teething pain by gnawing on rawhide. She's become great friends with Mom's dog "Mia" - a huge Siberian Husky who happens to think Figgy is her puppy lol! They have been spending quality play and nap time together - as the cat isn't overly playful! (Much to Figgy's dismay!).
As far as sleeping goes - she has taken over the bed - and we are happy to have her snuggling into us! She's very loved and spoiled, has lots of toys to play with and chew on, and will be the most fashionably dressed puppy in the county!
Thanks again so much for rescuing this beautiful angel and letting her be a part of our family - we are so grateful! God bless you for the heartwarming and much needed work that you do!
Please enjoy the pictures! We'll write again soon! Tobie-Lynn"

"Garbo", adopted by Debra Robinson of Brampton, Ontario! She is one lucky doggie to have found such an Angel as you. Debra writes..... Tuesday, November 20th, 2007, "I entered the keywords "rescue dogs ontario" in google, and it changed my life forever. Technology really is great when it works like this. Later that day, after paperwork, vet references, and a call from Kimberley checked out, I had an appointment to drive two hours through pouring rain, and transport trucks to meet Garbo. I will always be thankful for Kimberley rescuing her, and teaching her what love means. Garbo (after the late, great Greta Garbo) still has "stand-off sighs", and beautiful, expressive eyes. She is fast, funny, a great jumper, kisser, and very intelligent. She uses the pool surround as a racetrack. A flying dustmop! We LOVE her, but then, everybody loves Garbo. Here's to many years of fun with Garbo, starting with the best Christmas I can remember in a long time.
Words alone cannot thank you enough Kimberley!
Keep up the excellent work.
All love, and best wishes,
Debra and Garbo."

"Sarah", adopted by Paul & Deborah, of Keswick, Ontario! You are very special people, and Sarah is so fortunate to have you as her Mom & Dad :)
"Kimberly, when we first met you and saw your facility, I could see Sarah was well loved. We fell in love with her immediately and want to thank you for our bundle of joy. Sarah has made our family complete, she is a very needy dog, I believe this is a result her past. She is the sweetest dog we have had and is a great companion for Shelby. They are almost always together; they even share each others food and toys and don't seem to mind sharing. She gives us a lot of joy and laughter. She fit in almost immediately and we can't imagine life without her. Best Wishes, Paul Dennis"

Hi Kimberly! Nov. 16, 2007
Here are a couple of pictures and an update of Lenny that you could post on the website in the picture page. This medal is from his 4th place finish at our last event this year in Winchester, Ontario on Sep 30th, 2007; that is when he got his personal best of 21 feet 7 inches in dock diving!
Kimberly, I love him to pieces and I can't thank you enough for encouraging me to go to the Shelter that day, or I never would have found him. He is without a doubt the best dog I have ever had! He is amazing & totally makes me look good!!
You do wonderful work; I know how hard it can be sometimes ( I volunteered for an adoption group for a several years) but when you get good news stories back and know the dogs are happy, well cared for and loved, it makes it all worth it, doesn't it? Keep up the great work!!
Cheers,
Judy

Hi Kimberly! Nov. 2007 I just wanted to thank you for rescuing Tanner & allowing us to give him a home. You have been wonderful throughout our entire adoption process.

Luv Wendy & Tanner

"Pumpkin", lived her entire life (3 yrs) in a filthy Amish Puppy Mill. She was very underweight, undersocialized, and scared of her own shadow. Today she is living the life she could only dream about. A very heartfelt thank you to Mary of London, Ontario, for adopting Pumpkin and making her dreams come true. You are a very special person Mary, for taking on the challenges of a Puppy Mill dog. Hello Kimberly!
Here we are in our backyard showing 1 happy dog and 1 happy caregiver - she just had her first haircut and looked so cute and pretty. She is the highlight of my life and has settled down very happily with myself and the cat Gillian.
Thank you for all the work that you do in saving these special animals so that we may give them a better life.
Sincere thanks again,
Mary

"Ralphie", adopted by the Billingsley family of London, Ontario. Thank you Brian & Sarah for choosing to adopt and giving Ralphie the home he deserves!
Hi Kimberly,
It's been just over a month and we thought we would give you an update on our
little Ralphie!!!!! The kids were thrilled the day we brought him home. They
loved chasing him around and playing. He adapted well to his new crate and was a
very fast learner that his bathroom was outside. He is quick on picking up on
new tricks and will sit, shake a paw, lie down and bark on command.... of course,
lots of treats and great praise helps too. His favourite thing is going on hikes
with Brian. They go almost daily out into the woods near our house and he is
adapting to off leash training and loves playing in the leaves and just running
free in the woods. ,Now for the bad.... just kidding, there really isn't anything
minus some normal puppy chewing. The kids have now learned the importance of
cleaning up when they are done playing or their nice dolls could be missing a
head or a leg!!! We would like to thank you for making this all possible for
us. Ralphie has been a great addition to our family. He is our excuse to get
daily exercise and go on family walks again. We love watching him learn new
tricks and master the old ones. And our most favourite part of all is his
bark!!!!! It sounds normal at first, then at the very end trials into the old
hound bark !!!!! It's fabulous... and makes us chuckle every time we hear it.
So thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!!
The Billingsley Family

"Abby" adopted by Deb of Stratford, Ontario. Thank you Deb for adopting Abby and giving her the love and attention she needed. Hi Kimberly!
Abby and I are doing great! She has come along way since I first got her. We are really good for each other. Abby , has gained a couple of pounds ....really have to cut back on the treats !!!! Thank you for letting me be the lucky one who got to love Abby. Deb

"Mouse", who had spent his entire life in an Amish Puppy Mill, was adopted by Sebastian & Cherine of Oakville, Ontario. Mouse is pictured here with his new big brother "Wolf". Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Sebastian and Cherine for taking on the challenges of a puppy mill dog, and giving him the life he so deserves.
Hi Kimberly!
I can't believe how such a small dog can bring so much love to one's heart. All we want to do is hug and kiss him 24/7. Even Wolf walks up to him and gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek. I think he knows that Mouse went through a lot. Last night Mouse started scratching at the comforter trying to make himself a nest. It turns out he wanted to crawl under the duvet. Once I placed him underneath, he was out like a light. I woke up this morning to find him fast asleep under the warm duvet. He didn't want to get up! Sebastian had both dogs outside today and Mouse sunned himself while Wolf played around the yard. Everyday he breaks out of his fear a little bit at a time. I get so excited to see these changes. No living creature should endure the pain these poor animals experience. I'm just happy that Mouse has found his forever family with us :) Cherine

"Red", a.k.a. Thomas, adopted by Cathy of Grand Bend, Ontario!
Hi Kimberly! Here is Thomas just this past weekend. He had just had a bath and was trying to dry himself on my Grandson.
Thomas is well socialized and comes with me most everywhere. He loves, people, children and other dogs. He also goes to Doggy Day Care every now and then. They just love him there and he is surely the busiest most energetic little guy they have visit. The other dogs love him too.
I have to go now because Thomas is in the bathroom unrolling the toilet paper!!!
One of his favorite things to do when I am not looking!!! Thank you so much for bringing him into my life. Cathy


"Cezar", adopted by Monica of Stayner, Ontario! Monica writes:
Hi Kimberly, Hope all is well with the rescue and you and family :) Here is a cute picture of Cezar hiding under his big sister! We are socializing him to the fullest and he is a very happy puppy. He has his cuddly moments and his crazy moments and we love him to death. Indie loves him too.... always keeping an eye on him. I'll send more pics soon! Monica

"Mickey", adopted by Mike, Carolynn & Family of Innisfil, Ontario! Carolynn writes...
Hi Kimberly!
Just wanted to let you know how Mickey is getting along! Mickey is quite happy here at the Yeates home. He's taken a wee bit of a liking to me (Carolynn) and follows me everywhere- it's quite funny actually- as when the others want to take him for a walk- he waits for me to say it's o.k to go....
He's taken quite a liking to his "big sister" Maya. They run around and play quite well together. Our cat - Tuna- (who is species challenged- as he thinks he is a dog) has also taken quite well to Mickey. Mickey will chase Tuna around the yard- and then you will see Tuna pursuing Mickey- quite funny really. Thank you for bringing him into our home. He is much loved!
Carolynn


"Piper", a.k.a Jube, adopted by Kendra & Tim of Toronto, Ontario! Kendra writes:

"Jackie", a.k.a Izzy, adopted by Mark & Hilary of Aylmer, Ontario!
Hi Kimberly!
It's Mark Holmes, the very proud parent of Izzy, "Jackie" the cute little Jack Russel/Lhasa Aspo pup. Izzy is now approximately 6 months and she is thriving and enjoying life! She has grown into a very cute and loving pup and everyday it is so easy to tell that we made a very very very good choice in her. We are so excited to have her, she makes us smile every day when we wake up, even though she steals my sleeping spots. Anyways, I am adding some new pictures of her for you. Thanks again, Mark Holmes & Hilary Brown (Proud Parents)


"Bailey", a.k.a. Wiggles, adopted by Andrea of Mississauga, Ontario! Andrea writes....
Hi Kimberly,
I just wanted to send you some photos and update you with how Bailey is adjusting to her new home in Mississauga, and to say that it was a pleasure meeting you. The set-up you have is wonderful and I am happy to have met with you and been given the opportunity to bring Bailey home with me.
She has settled in nicely at her new home. We have started puppy classes and she is the most adorable puppy in the class....a bit of a goof ball at times, but she loves to socialize with everyone! I've attached some updated pics of Bailey and I...enjoy!
Hugs...Andrea & Bailey


"Millie", a.k.a. Mishka, adopted by the Durish family of Toronto, Ontario! Patricia writes:
Hi Kimberly,
I finally got a new digital camera and am sending you pictures of our amazing dog! She did great on the trail!! We love her so much and are so grateful that you provided us with the opportunity to share our lives with her. Thank you!
These are just two of the many pictures that we have but it gives you a sense of what her life is like and how much she is loved. Cheers! Patricia
P.S. I would be interested in adopting another dog at some point - as a pal for Millie – please keep us in mind if something or someone comes along.

"Ernie", a.k.a. Brutus, adopted by Scott & Cornia of North York, Ontario! Corina writes:
Hi Kimberly!
I just wanted to write you and thank you so much for the new
addition to our family. He is absolutely adorable and we just love
him so much! He is so smart - he's gotten the hang of going potty
outside (with very rare accidents) and he's learned that biting and
chewing (unless it's his multiple toys that he's chewing) is bad.
Just so you know, his name has been changed to Brutus (I liked that
better, and Scott gave in since a woman who saw him when he was
being walked even said that he looks like a Brutus!) I will forward some pictures once I find my computer adaptor; we've puppy-proofed the place so
things are difficult to find right now!! Again, thanks so much!
Corina


"Mindy" was rescued from an Amish Puppy Mill in Ontario. She lived her ENTIRE life in a 5 x 4 ft. kennel, and had never seen the outside of that barn. She was adopted by Jack and Beverley of Bayfield, Ontario. They are truly "Rescue Angels" who took on a very timid, very unsocialized Mindy, and turned her life around. Jack and Beverly I will never forget what you have done for Mindy.
Dear Kimberly,
It's been wonderful to see a terrified Mindy turn into a happy dog. The first wag of the tail was exciting and now to watch her running and bouncing in the yard with her ears flapping and her eyes full of joy is worth all the time and patience we have spent on her. While she's still timid she is very comfortable in her new home and welcomes visitors and lets them pet and adore her. She is especially good with the grand children. I'm working with the leash and she's gradually becoming more accepting of it. She's had her first professional grooming and is beautiful!! This process has been VERY rewarding for all of us and I know we made the right choice. Thank you so much for all you have done for Mindy. Beverley
Jack Writes (with pictures attached of the sleeping beauties)
Hi Kimberly! I think it is safe to say that Beverley and Mindy have bonded!!

"Bruce" (a.k.a. Chester), adopted by the Djakalovic family of Brampton, Ontario! Wendy writes:
Hi Kimberly,
I just wanted to contact you and let you know that all is well with Mr Springsteen!! He is such a doll. We just love him. He is so smart and easy to be with. He hasn't even had an "accident". He sleeps like a baby at night and plays like a puppy all day long. He love to fetch and chew on his toys. Everyone he has met thinks he is adorable. Once again, thank you for bringing Bruce and our family together through your hard work. Take care, and let me know if there's ever any thing that I can do. Wendy

"Shadow", who was left abandoned and tied to the mailbox in the middle of the night, was adopted by the Longstreet family of Erin, Ontario! Lisa writes:
Hello Kimberly,
I love my new home! My new kids are so much fun and are teaching me all kinds of fun games and tricks. I have met lots of new friends and I get along with everyone. Luke slept with me beside my bed for the first few nights, but after that I was fine on my own...my new Mom couldn't believe it! I haven't had any accidnets since the first day, and I keep getting told that I am "such a good boy"! I am very happy and content. Kimberly, thank you so much for rescuing me...you gave me just what I needed and now I can live a full, happy life in my forever home! Love Shadow

Both Cookie & Buddy were adopted from Kismutt Rescue. Cookie in 2006 and Buddy in 2007. Susanne writes.....
Hello Kimberly,
Thank you for everything this past weekend. We’ve named our new addition to the family “Buddy” and he’s already recognizing his name. Cookie & Buddy got along right away. They’ve been playing and chasing each other around the yard and house all afternoon. I’ve attached some pictures. We admire you and appreciate the work you do to save these little guys from a horrible life. Rest assured he’ll be very well treated here with us. Thank you again and take care. Kindest Regards, Richard & Susanne Fournier

"Hallie", adopted by the Giouard family of Mississauga, Ontario!
Hi Kimberly, It's me Stephanie. How are you? Hallie is now 1 year old, and she's grown a bit more. I nick named her golden oreo because she's black and white with brown now. she's a very good girl! when I take Hallie on walks, she's very good. She walks right beside me and doesn't pull. I go outside with Hallie everyday and play with her in the backyard. We play fetch and we just run around. Well, I hope you like the picture, and I hope to hear from you soon! From: Your Friend Stephanie


"Emma", adopted by the Lelonek's of Burlington, Ontario! They write....
Hi Kimberly: Sorry we missed your call the other day. Emma has probably doubled her weight; she is really getting big! We are having trouble getting a nice picture of her as she is so black you can't really see anything but her hair! After I talked to you we went out and bought her a winter coat with a hood and that made all the difference. She sleeps in our bed at night with Mei Mei, and has not had an accident!! She usually sleeps until 6:30 a.m. and then wakes me to take her outside. She has hardly any accidents and we are absolutely thrilled with her! She has a wonderful disposition and is so much fun. Both dogs are very close to each other. Will continue to try to get a good picture. Thank you so much for letting us adopt her!

"Tucker", a puppy mill survivor, adopted by the Turner Family of Cambridge, Ontario! Diane writes....."Hi Kimberly 
I want to thank you for saving myself and my brother and sister and giving us all nice homes. I get to play with my sister Zoe almost every day because she lives near me. That makes me one lucky guy. I love my new family especially my big dog sister, Shilo and my feline brother, Che. I also have 3 human brothers and sisters that love me. I went to the vet and he said I was adjusting very well after everything I've been through. I have my own new bed, my own toys and my own bowl filled with yummy dog food. I'm starting to love tummy rubs and hugs and kisses. In two weeks they are going to try me out in "school", whatever that is!! They tell me I'll have fun. I'll try not to be scared, because I am slowly learning most people are good at heart. I already know sit and am very good at it. My mom says I'm one smart puppy!! I'm sending some pictures of my new life so other dogs in sad situations can have hope. Thanks again Kimberly and don't forget me, I won't forget you!! Tucker"

"Dory", adopted by Hugh & Nickie of Shakespere, Ontario!
Nickie writes..."Hi, Kimberly...Hugh and I want to thank you again for letting us adopt Dory. She's stolen the hearts of anyone and everyone who's met her or seen a photograph of her. Scruffy & Dory play endlessly, both indoors and out, and then sometimes even sleep together. Dory loves her crate and now goes 4 - 5 hours overnight without needing a bio-break, AND she never makes a mistake with her training pads. The girls both love their pig knuckles and cow hooves, although they sometimes play tug of war over them because Dory wants all of them for herself ;) Thanks again so much!!!!!!!!! Nickie
