Sponsored Adoption: Stevie & Dory
Wakulla County Animal Shelter wrote: We are so happy to announce that "Stevie" and "Dory" were adopted together on Friday! Both of these cats came from less than desirable living conditions before arriving at Wakulla Animal Services back in December. They were both very timid at first but made huge strides in the month they spent at the shelter. Summer Tryon and her son Wyatt made the very loving decision to open their home to these cats and give them all the time they need to acclimate to their new surroundings. I was quite impressed with Wyatt after meeting him Friday! The way he conducted himself around these cats spoke volumes about his understanding for the need to not startle or alarm them. He spoke softly and moved slowly, so much so that Stevie (the shyest of the two) actually let Wyatt hold him briefly! We also want to extend many thanks to Paws of Wakulla for raising the money to sponsor Stevie's adoption fee, and also to Tracy Guidi for sponsoring Dory's adoption fee! I'll be posting updates on these two cats as they settle into life with their new family.

Sponsored Adoption: Bingo
Wakulla County Animal Shelter wrote: Our boy BINGO has been adopted! Here he is with his new sister Allison (also adopted from us back in 2020). They love each other and have had a blast romping and playing in the back yard! Our kennel tech Daniel (pictured here) fell in love with Bingo and convinced his brother to adopt him. Thank you Aaron Allen for adopting not once, but twice! And thank you Paws of Wakulla for sponsoring this special adoption.

Kay-Kay was taken in by CHAT as part of a litter when they were about 8
weeks old and she was soon adopted by an elderly couple. When Kay-Kay was
roughly 10 months old she was returned because of her high energy level, and we
found out that she had been kept outside with little human interaction.
Two more families tried to make her part of their life, but she was just too energetic, and did not get the exercise she needed. Then we thought we had the perfect home for her; a young lady who was a fanatic exercise nut, and a runner. Getting to go on runs was perfect for her much needed exercise, and it made her tired, making her manageable. There was also a small dog in the household, and whether it was out of jealousy or for other reason we will never know, Kay-Kay attacked the little dog. Needless to say, she was returned to us once again.
This was heartbreaking for Kay-Kay as we noticed in her behavior. She had in a very short time latched onto her new owner emotionally, and was in a depressive state. One thing about Kay-Kay, she is a very smart and an immensely loving animal. As her last return was toward the end of CHAT managing the adoption enter, we decided to hire a trainer for her.
Kay-Kay has been living with Greg Oyer since the end of December and getting one-on-one training, along with being introduced to other dogs and how to behave around them. We have to say, the change in Kay-Kay is incredible!
Greg's first task was to break her of chasing after small dogs, and to come when called. Next was to walk well on a leash, and heel. We have visited her on several occasions, and have been amazed at the changes. She still has lots of energy, and needs space to run but, she is rather well behaved nowadays.
On our last visit, we took lots of pictures and videos of her. She followed instructions, walked incredibly well on a lead, heeled without lead, and came when called. Towards the end of our visit, a young couple came up and Kay-Kay slowly approached the young lady who bent down to greet her. I don't think she expected to be hugged by this dog but well, Kay-Kay gently put both her paws on either side of the woman's neck, and put her head on her shoulder. It brought tears to our eyes.
Kay-Kay will stay with Greg until she finds the right owner for her, someone that is loving, but firm. A fenced yard with lots of space is also equired. Her new owner has to agree to take some free follow up training sessions with Greg Oyer, more to train the new owner rather than the dog to ensure a lasting relationship.
Kay-Kay is a little over two years old, spayed and up to date on her shots. If you would like an interview to meet Kay-Kay, please send an email to [email protected] and provide your name and phone number.
