This is Oscar. He was adopted 2 years ago from the MCHS shelter. He stopped by recently with his Mom and
Dad just to say "HI". Oscar is a beautiful dachsund. He is very happy and loves to travel with his new family. He
has made several trips to Canada and other states. Even though he is on a diet as directed by his vet, his mom
slips him treats when his dad isn't looking. He cuddles in the blankets with them every night. His family says,
"He is the best and sweetest dog."
Hi! I'm Oliver. I'm a two-year-old beagle/spaniel mix who loves walks, playing in water, and wrestling with
my new best friend Mickey the cat. When I first came to my new home six months ago, I was afraid of
everything and didn't always make it outside to use the bathroom, but now, with lots of love and patience, I'm
completely housetrained, and I'm not nearly as afraid as I used to be. I can actually run through the house
and play now! Click here to read Oliver's story!

Hi Lisa!
Just wanted to give you an update on Bingo (who is now
named Beau). He is doing very well and a happy playful
dog. He loves to take naps with his Mom and Dad and loves
to go for walks. He has been wonderful. He is definitely
ornery (as he likes to drag his toys all over the house), but
we couldn't ask for a better pet. Hope everything is going
well with the shelter!
Thanks Again!

Here is a little note from Beau:
Hi to all of my old friends at the shelter. I'm not sure if I will
to get carsick. Hope everything is doing well and hopefully
they will find a good home like I did soon!
Miss you all!
Beau (Bingo)
Hobbes is wonderful! He's so playful. Every
night at 7 he is ready to play and around noon
he's more than happy to take a nap with me.
He's so smart too. He knows his name, he'll
come when you call him. He obeys the rules
pretty well. Hobbes is awesome!
Tiffany Brown - Hobbes Mom




Thanks to all of those who made donations to pay for Beauty's surgery.
She looks pretty healthy now!! This is the dog that was thrown from the
moving car at a unknown speed. She had to have one toe removed and
dental work done. She is staying with her Aunt Nancy until her Mommy can
come and get her. In her new home she is called "Venus" because she is
the goddess of Beauty! This sweetheart had a tough road but as you can
see from the pictures she has made a full recovery and is very much loved..
UPDATE: Sadly, Venus' family was not able to keep her and she's back with us at
the shelter. She's as happy as ever - glad to see all of us, but she still wants a
shot at having a forever family. Hopefully we'll have her back among our Happy
Tails soon

If you remember our story about the beagles who lived on the wire fence - they were
skinny, had eye infections and their toe nails were very long. They were adopted from a
family in New York who traveled to Fairmont to pick them up . Their new family is thrilled
with them. Everything is going great with the girls. They had a little adjusting to do with the
potty training but doing better now.
From Holly of Lake Lynn, PA: Dear Everyone! Hi!! I just wanted to
