Lexi

My story is about Lexi, formerly known as Janie. Lexi is a perfect fit into our lives! She goes to work with us every day, has her own office chair, with a pillow of course, that she sits on beside me as I do my work, she loves going "bye-bye". She gets a bit sad when it's a day off of work and we spend it at home. She picks out her clothes each day before heading off to work, hops in the car, and we're off! We have found the perfect groomer, who takes the extra time with her to make her comfortable before getting groomed, her Mommy was more nervous about the first time than she was! We've had Lexi with us for about 2 months now, and can't imagine our lives without our little Lexi-poo!! A HUGE thank-you to Paradise Animal Rescue for helping us find our perfect dog!!


Lilli


I adopted Lilli (a.k.a. Winter) in May 2013 from Paradise Animal Rescue. Adoption is very important to me, so PAR was one of the first places I thought of when I considered a new companion for myself and my adult cat Luka, who I saved from a kill shelter a couple of years earlier. Because my cat thinks he’s a big kitten and can be a rambunctious player, I wanted to make the best choice in order for a happy companionship for both. I put a lot of serious thought into the right age, personality and energy level of the new addition. I first studied each cat’s profile on PAR’s website and then visited their wonderful residents several times. Every person I met at PAR during those visits was welcoming and helpful when I explained that I was searching for the right fit. When I first met six-month-old Lilli, she had very recently been surrendered. I was instantly charmed by her but wanted to give her a chance to settle in before making such an important decision. When I visited her again a few days later, I knew she was the one! Lilli is a very playful, curious, independent and affectionate girl. After a slow but steady introduction period, she and Luka quickly adjusted and became instant playmates. They love to wrestle, chase each other and play king of the mountain on their cat tower. One of Lilli’s favorite games is to launch surprise “attacks” from hiding spots as her brother passes by. I don’t have to spend a lot on cat toys because their favorite is crumpled-up pieces of paper! I would like to thank everyone at Paradise for the opportunity to provide Lilli her loving forever home and for all of their important work in enriching the lives of both animals and people.
