We adopted Betsy in early August 2008 when she was about a year old. Soon after she came home with us, we learned that she could jump our 4 ft chain link fence. We quickly built a 6 ft privacy fence and doubled the size of the backyard. She and our 5-year-old terrier mix chase each other around the yard and roughhouse while our 14-year-old Goldie mix (another City of Bloomington Animal Shelter adoptee) observes the fun from a safe distance.

Ruby, formerly Rhonda, has been the most wonderful addition to our home! She is a gentle soul who has really come out of her shell over these last two years. I feel truly blessed to have found her.

Bailey, formally known as Barry |

We adopted Bailey (formally Barry and Harry) from the Bloomington Animal Shelter in October 2008. He had been returned twice before for various reasons. He fits right in with our lifestyle. He is active but also likes to cuddle on the couch. We can't imagine our life without him....
