When we saw her on the website we absolutely loved her! She is a sweet loving cat and waits for me when I get home from school every day. She has her routine. She purrs a lot and she really loves her new home! I couldn't ask for a better kitty! She has big blue eyes and everyone in my family loves her! She loves to cuddle and she's very clean. :) </span><br />

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!!</span><br />

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.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;">Good afternoon! I just wanted to share some photos of ‘Dustino,’ formerly known as Dusty the cat at Paradise. Since I am Italian, he didn’t mind the name modification to fit right into the family! He has made himself at home and is sooooo happy and cute. He is becoming a wonderful companion animal and is fun, responsive, affectionate and well-behaved. Though he’s over 2 years old, he has been getting in touch with his ‘inner kitten’ and it’s a joy to see him run through my hallway and chase his toys. I just love him! He is so sweet and cute and such a great, great cat. I had been without any companion cats for more than a year when the "youngest" of a group of four I'd started out with more than 20 years ago passed away. I am so grateful that I waited for the "purrfect" moment to be ready to adopt and that Dustino was there for me. Pictured above is Dustino in my kitchen, looking out my living room window and taking a “catnap” on my sofa. I just thought I’d share as I know he was a favorite of some of the volunteers there. Sincerely, Catherine Proud owner of Dustino the great</span><br />

He is an awesome cat! He is comfortable with his new home already, and with our dog Doober, who we also rescued from PAR 2 years ago! Roo is special because he has a gimpy back leg. He was injured when he was young and his leg fused together and he can't bend it. The people at PAR were worried that no one would want him because of this. Well let me tell you, he can jump as high as any other cat and run just as fast too! He is a lover and the first time I held him, he nuzzled his head under my chin and stayed there! I fell in love with him right then and there! His cute nose and his gimpy limp add to his wonderful personality! He already has a nickname: Roo Boo Kitty!</span><br />

According to our vet Dr. Bobby (Daley Rd Animal Care) he just celebrated his 1st birthday! He has adjusted to life on the farm very well. At first it was hard to get him into a car but now you cant even mention the word car or he thinks he needs to ride shotgun! He loves our son Adam, meets him everyday when he gets off the school bus, they come inside and wrestle! When they are finished Smurf sits on Adam...We think its his way of saying that hes won! He loves playing with our cats Bandit and Mittens, or maybe play isnt the right word he loves chasing them and terrorizing them! When he goes outside to play he chases after the hens and then the rooster Hank chases him. Then he antagonizes Hank, and Hank starts chasing him again. Its difficult to get his attention once he is pestering Hank to get him to come inside. He absolutely LOVES being outside! We couldnt have asked for a better dog, hes great loving and a big galute!!! And the best welcoming committee ever! Thank you for picking us to be his family!!!</span></div>

I knew that the one thing that would make my home complete was a dog.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I saw Bear on petfinder and just knew this was the dog. I went to PAR to meet Bear and sure enough, he was it!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I had to wait a couple of weeks to bring Bear home since he had to get fixed and had a couple of medical issues. So now here we are, just over a year later and Bear is doing fantastic! He is sweet, loving, loves running the property with the neighbor dog Buddy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">He is probably one of the best dogs if not, THE best dog I've ever had. :)</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">He now has a new buddy, a puppy named Lily to play with in the house. So far, he has been very attentive and helps train her. So cute to see! </span><br />

She plays hide-and-seek attack with me and fetch. Luna also loves to cuddle. She never leaves my side and follows me everywhere, including the bathroom. She's incredibly intelligent and makes a wide variety of noises when she tries to talk to me. Luna's so friendly, I have never heard her growl. I am truly lucky to have a cat like Luna. Thank you sooo much Paradise, she really brings joy into my life!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">When I first saw Hope at Walmart I knew she was the dog that I had been looking for. I walked up to her, sat on the ground (in a dress) and felt an immediate bond. After filling out the application I walked to the car and Hope tried to go with me at that time. We knew it was meant to be BUT...Hope came to us after a very rough beginning to life. We were not sure what we were going to get for a dog when we brought her home. Everyone at the shelter told us what a good girl she was but she had some very rough times and we were a little nervous. </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Hope is AMAZING. She is calm, she is super loving, listens and follows directions first time always, walks great on a leash, loves to ride in the car, loves to sleep with her "brother" (a 13 year old human but don't tell her that!!!) she is very good with her 3 year old sister, has never had an accident, has not eaten anything, will not leave the yard even off a leash, and she protects her house. Hope loves her pink bed, leash, collar, and now her pink nails. She is a very pampered pooch! </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I had concerns that people would be afraid of her thinking that she is a "bully breed" however people see Hope and melt. It has to be the eyes! This is GREAT because she goes everywhere with us. </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to have Hope in our lives and we are blessed to be able to provide her with her FUREVER home! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I just wanted to share some news with all of the paradise staff! About 2.5 weeks ago, I adopted Cheetoh from the shelter. He is doing wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a nicer kitty. He is so full of life and loves to play. I will say since he was just a little guy, we have changed his name to "Bruce". I don't think he minds! I am so happy he gets along well with our other cat, Stella and he LOVES our Shih-tzu, Harley. He is on antibiotics for a URI, but he is improving greatly since we first got him. He sure is full of energy and doesn't like to slow down at all (unless it's cuddling with the dog). I am so grateful to have found this little guy, and I can't wait to spend my adult life with him! He is such a great kitten, and I'm sure will be an even greater cat! </span></div>

I have so many pictures/videos to share with you of Jake. He gets along great with our out door kitty Spooky, our indoor kitty Jewel, our Parrot Scooter, and our three other birds. Him and the kids are inseparably, he loves to play with my mom and dads 12yr old Pit Bull (Tasha). He is never chained up and does not ever leave the yard unless he is walking with us. We barely ever put him on a leash for the mere fact he doesn't leave our side. He has learned to sit on command, lay down, and roll over ;-) He has his own special bed that Grandma made for him with his name embroidered on it, I take it in my room each night beside my bed where he likes to sleep each night. He goes everywhere with us. He has many toys that he loves...cute story: One morning while sitting on the couch I saw him looking around the house under things and behind things and noticed he was gathering all his toys and taking them to his bed it was so cute to see!!!</span><br />

I was the woman who adopted Baby Girl today. I wanted to update everyone that she is doing great so far. She has only been home for a couple of hours but things are going great. She was brushed while she drooled on the back of my chair. lol She loves my dogs but not so much love for the cats YET! She has explored every inch of our home and found her spot for now in the upstairs hallway on a cushy bench. I just checked on her and she is drooling on it, while purring when I approached her. She hasn't used the litter box or eaten yet but I think that will take a little time to settle her nerves some more. My oldest son held her for our whole drive home and they fell in love with eachother. He held her while she snuggled into his shoulder. She does seem nervous having the "run" of the house so I have put a dog crate in the living room for her, if she wants to go in to get away from the freedom. I wish I would have thought about it while I was there, but I should have offered to buy her hammock so she could have had something that smells like her home.. Oh well, I am sure she will know this is home very soon. I am making her a hammock though to hang on our cat tree, so she can have that security of her bed if she wishes. I will continue to update you guys on her progress and will send pictures some time next week, hopefully while she is laying with her new cat friends....... If not cat friends then with her dog friends, lol. Thank you so much!<br />

Baby Girl has claimed a few spots in the house. She loves the cat tree in front of our window and the back of my couch which gives her another window seat to a different part of the yard and birds. She still does not like the other cats, but is doing well on tolerating them now as they enter the same room as her. Before she just growled and hissed. Now she is able to lay on the cat tree while another cat lays on it too. That is a huge accomplishment. She definately rules this roost. She loves to be on us when we are sitting on the couch. I made her a hammock and put it in our dog cage with the door always open, the first night she slept in there. Since then she has slept on the couch. She has a few blankets that she loves and nuzzles up in next to us when she is not on our chest. Honestly you would think she has lived here forever. She walks the house like she owns it, the dogs love her and she loves them, she licks my sons faces and arms. It is fabulous. She has been getting brushed everyday, she loves it and is beginning to get a nice shiny coat. Her eyes are starting to clear up and she still hates her medication. lol We bought her another new toy yesterday, it is like the fishing pole types with feathers on the end. She chased it forever jumping from couch to couch then the floor and we made our way around the room and back on her cat tree. We did this for about 20 minutes until she just lay on the cat tree and ate at the feathers. She was tired. Every time she would catch the feathers she would growl purr as if she "caught" her pray. <br />
She is eating and using the litter box now. But it is her own litter box, she wouldn't go in the other cats box, so she got her own. Thank you for letting us adopt Baby Girl.. She has made this animal family even more complete. She will have a fabulous love filled free life now. Thank you again!<br />

Hi, I just wanted to give the volunteers that knew Baby Girl an update on her.
I adopted her back in June. She was great when she came to us, but was ill with
the herpes virus in her eyes. One eye became very severe and then it went to
the other eye. She was seeing Dr. Thorpe weekly... we were trying every
medication under the sun and then she came down with a respitory infection...
She gave us a run for our money, literally, we spent a fortune on her. Once all
the other cats in the house became ill with the respitory infrection, I was at
my wits end and Baby Girl and I had a long talk while we lay on the couch one
evening.... I told her I had tried everything to keep her healthy and she had
to try a little harder. I almost felt like I was trying to keep a dying cat
alive.... Well once the virus went through both eyes and then her
"cold".... she has been great!!!! Her eyes look great, her fur is
shiny, she loves to be brushed, pet, and held.<br />
I felt guilty for adoptng her because stress is often the cause of the herpes
virus rearing it's ugly head.... But Dr. Thorpe kept reassuring me that I did
the right thing and she would be okay.... Well today, 7 months later she is
fabulous. She does not even look like the same cat at all. She looks young and
spunky. She knows we love her more than anything and she gets away with murder.
She has a great appetite, she has her own bed, her own basket and her own place
on the cat tree... the other cats give her this freedom and do not touch her
places... It is like they know she deserves it!<br />
She is very loyal, I suppose repaying me for helping her. I suffer from
migraines and she is the one that lays with me when I am sick - for hours and
hours and is very gentle with me.<br />
I will never know if she would have gotten that ill had she stayed at the
rescue, but I do believe everything happens for a reason and she is ours
because we love her... our love and patience has healed her and I hope and pray
she never becomes that ill again. Hopefully she got it all out of her system
and will have a healthy life from now on.<br />
Thank you to the volunteers for taking care of her when she was there! She is
very loved and has a great life!!</div>

We
were told that he had been at Paradise Pets for about 2 years, and had
been adopted out once before but did not work out in a household that
had younger children - he's a bit of a rough player when you get him
cranked up, and this was probably the reason. He's a wonderful cat
though, very independent and playful! He's also extremely talkative, and
intelligent as well - after recently discovering the laser pointer,
he's gotten into the habit of 'asking' for it. He comes into my computer
room and chirps at me, then looks at the floor and back to me, waiting
expectantly until I pick up the pointer. Once it's in hand, he
frantically watches the floor until I turn it on, and then he's off
after it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Our
experience with Paradise Pets has been
fantastic as well! Their facility was always clean when we went in, and
it's obvious that the animals are well-loved and cared for. Short of a
forever home, Paradise Pets is the next best thing for animals in need
of a home. If we are ever in the market for another feline friend, this
is the place we will go to again!<br />

Once my eyes fell on her brother my heart was his!! I couldn't stop looking at him. I took a contract to fill out while taking time to think. 3 1/2 hours later I dropped off my contract to getr approved to take a puppy, not knowing for sure which it would be. I went back to see them again, trying to tell or remind myself that I didn't want a male. As soon as I bent down, he came to me and stayed right at my feet. My best friend and I just laughed because it was as if he chose me too!! I thought my kids would still want the female. So I took them to see which puppy they would want, and they both picked him!! I couldn't believe it.<br> He is a perfect addition to our family! We love him soooo much!! I had been praying that the Lord would lead us to the puppy He wanted us to have so that I'd know it would be a perfect fit!! I believe with all my heart that He did just that!! We planned on a medium size female, but God knows better!! <br> I look forward to keeping on touch here with our family as it continues this awesome journey available thanks to Paradise Animal Rescue!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077723284658073937.post-45508991410295573572012-03-15T10:29:00.001-07:002012-03-15T10:29:26.936-07:00Joe-Joe<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE8vKzxP3N0eDIkuOMdOhJOSiyosDu8EfVFZZHLt9oW5ebLAVcVirWMPo9niy7BERNskK7OqohHIxxk5GNCQ967ZZFbQJbyizsG4gjy3VZHI0_DR0ZjPjshZLm-m4DbLq3yGPzeQeitjk/s1600/Joejoe1-766937.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE8vKzxP3N0eDIkuOMdOhJOSiyosDu8EfVFZZHLt9oW5ebLAVcVirWMPo9niy7BERNskK7OqohHIxxk5GNCQ967ZZFbQJbyizsG4gjy3VZHI0_DR0ZjPjshZLm-m4DbLq3yGPzeQeitjk/s320/Joejoe1-766937.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720177320700706850" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf84COYdzbbHal1U-FjLXoe8mXRZ6usTat8SImMB3-wlsh-g2qbroIdLsBu6FQBPB-ZnClwH78smM-3G5vl7_j_jgAxxh3iwh00xcV8SGAP231MReIY0rLHMPZzcfHk3OI1p_cTHTfcxM/s1600/joejoe2-767923.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf84COYdzbbHal1U-FjLXoe8mXRZ6usTat8SImMB3-wlsh-g2qbroIdLsBu6FQBPB-ZnClwH78smM-3G5vl7_j_jgAxxh3iwh00xcV8SGAP231MReIY0rLHMPZzcfHk3OI1p_cTHTfcxM/s320/joejoe2-767923.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720177321304326706" /></a></p>After seeing Joey's picture on Paradise Animal Rescue groups facebook page I knew I had to inquire. I read that he was 7 years of age and this worried me. Most people who adopt are looking for puppies or for young dogs. So, I knew it would be a challenge getting Joey adopted out. I discussed it with my husband and we just knew what we had to do. I made an appointment with his lovely foster mom Diana and he came to my house to meet us and our little dog Darla. Things went well that day and we decided to give him a forever home.<p>After taking Joey to his new home it was clear he was happy. He made himself right at home!! It was if he belonged there. He's very chill, cool and collective. He has to be at my side at all times... he loves to cuddle and just be as close as possible. Joey loves walks and car rides with his new sister. <p>We are so happy to have Joey in our lives and we have tons of love to share with him.<p>Thank you to Paradise Rescue, DIana-Foster Mom and Debbie Irwin for helping.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077723284658073937.post-16396209399152896902012-01-09T14:22:00.000-08:002012-01-09T14:23:25.691-08:00Wally<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpn4BJxR1lU5jb6Fb3ApKdKI_nfQHcW1pzTJFm-aCJhwIG1kVXMSkOUacozHYIf598kDk0x3LbkntDWlGhg8jhjKPl2NZ4p_ct6SYLe_k3F9x5NQoeojQtWCtXcyOtvCaCXI-oZpppcIM/s1600/Cat+dog-705691.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpn4BJxR1lU5jb6Fb3ApKdKI_nfQHcW1pzTJFm-aCJhwIG1kVXMSkOUacozHYIf598kDk0x3LbkntDWlGhg8jhjKPl2NZ4p_ct6SYLe_k3F9x5NQoeojQtWCtXcyOtvCaCXI-oZpppcIM/s320/Cat+dog-705691.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695761457766124034" /></a></p>We have had Wally for over a year now and we are very thankful that he has came into our lives.

Psych has had a lot of health issues and we were starting to worry that we were going to lose her soon. <p>So I started looking around and talking to people and heard about Paradise Animal Rescue. I checked out their website and saw this adorable little kitten face staring up at me. I showed my husband and he said to go check her out. <p>I fell in love immediately with Pixie (her name at the rescue was Adalia but we ended up renaming her because she had such a little pixie face). She cuddled right in and gave me that look that said "Yes, YOU are my human." <p>We couldn't bring her home right away because she was so small and she took a long time getting up to 2 pounds so that we could finally get her. <p>Pixie has settled right in at home, best friends with Penny now (although they are extremely jealous of each other at times and definitely have THEIR own humans they don't like to share with each other). She's very sociable with friends and family that come to visit us, and I know a lot of that is because of the wonderful care that the volunteers at Paradise gave her. They taught her at her youngest age that humans were safe and would not hurt her. <p>Thank you Paradise for taking in this little girl when she was so tiny and keeping her safe until we were able to find her. Pixie is happy, healthy, and a wonderful addition to our fur-family.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077723284658073937.post-60137558069903291432011-12-30T10:25:00.001-08:002012-01-01T09:57:42.563-08:00Dumplin<div class="mobile-photo"></div>I was adopted by my forever family in October. They didn't even know they wanted a dog until they met me. We met at a school event and when they came to visit me at the shelter, I just knew this was my chance. I showed off a little, did some of my best tricks, and gave plenty of kisses. It worked! When they brought me home, however, I soon realized I had a lot of training to do. I am their first family dog and I knew I'd have to be patient with them. They started by changing my name to Copper. I think it fits me nicely, don't you? I had to learn how to trust this new family of five, but more importantly, the true ruler of this roost: Coco the cat! They bought me yummy food, bones to chew on, and nice cozy beds to sleep in. The kids love to play tug of war with me and teaching me tricks. I can sit, lay down, roll over, shake, walk, and dance. Yes...dance. Cutely, I stand on my two hind legs and spin around like a ballerina. My family loves this! I think I might be<br />
starting school soon, just like my kids. They say I will learn o-b-d-yents, whatever that means. Thank you Paradise Animal Rescue for helping me find my family.<br />
Love and sloppy kisses,<br />

We ve looked at several rescues and just didnt find the right fit for us. We stopped in at Paradise on our way home one day and met Thor. His name is a perfect fit with our other dog Zeus. My wife,(Beth) young son(Aiden) and my self (Jason) all got along great with him. We visited some more and got the paper work to fill out to adopt him. We went home over the wknd pretty sure that we wanted to adopt him. I came by on monday to drop off the paperwork and was disappointed to see that they werent open. So on tuesday Zeus and I went back up with our paperwork and to introduce Thor to Zeus and see how they got along. It all went well and the date was set to pick Thor up and bring him home! He has made a good adjustment in the last couple days to our home. But like any new pet there are growing pains and he has had his timeouts..lol...but he has impressed us with how good and well behaved he is.He will just get<br>better and better. We love him and are glad he is with us now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
