AWS Success Stories!
"Lilly"
 On Friday July 17, 2009 this starving underweight stray ran up on my deck and clung to me for dear life. She was so hungry she was inhaling food and not even chewing it.
I kept her inside on my porch for two days until I could get her to your shelter.
In the meantime however, she aborted some kittens on my porch and one of my friends (Amy) a volunteer, brought her to AWS right away for care before infection set in.
She was brought to the vet within hours. was spayed and had a severe infection and would have died within 24-48 hrs. if AWS hadn't stepped in.
I could NOT stop thinking of this little girl, and how she found her way to my home.
Before she even stepped foot back to AWS, I decided to adopt her and she has been with me now for almost a year. We love LILLY and she is a wonderful girl. Thanks for all you do.

"Sophie"
 We adopted a female kitten named Greer last July and wanted to share with you her photos and the absolute happiness she has brought into our lives. My youngest son renamed her Sophie and she is one of a kind. Sophie enjoys the water and on two occasions she has gone into the bathtub with my son. She loves anything cool, we find her lying on the window next to the air conditioner vent.  Anyhow, we have sent some photos and hope you can share these with all. She loves to sit in a large bowl and our chinese vase, and on occasion has even gone into my son's backpack. She is a wonderful addition to our family.
Best,
Nina
"Malcolm"
 Hi,
Just wanted to send you an update on Malcolm. He a beautiful "brown tiger" (not gray) w/ white markings. He's the most wonderful and sweet cat and so docile, he almost listens like a dog! We've changed his name to Charlie and he's quite a charmer! We adopted him on March 5 and the papers were saying about 13 months old, so we decided his birthday would be on Feb. 5th from now on. Thank you again for all the good work you do.
Note: By the way, Charlie also adopted a little mouse and he brings it to sleep in bed with us every night !
"Rikku"
 It's been two years since I brought Rikku home (Queenie at the shelter) and she's been nothing but a joy! Rikku is fun, loving, mischievous and full of energy. Rikku's favorite thing to do is hunt and she manages (even in the winter) to bring something home from the out doors! 
Thanks again for letting me take her home!
Sincerely,
Andrea
"Marlo"
To the Animal Welfare Society,
 On August 2, 2009 my boyfriend and I drove to Maine, from Tewksbury, MA to adopt our kitten, Marlo (at the time he was known as Harbar). Marlo is about 9 months old now and as happy and healthy as a kitten can be! He loves to cuddle, give kisses, and of course get belly rubs, but even more he loves to play with his brother (Ecco) and sister (Emma). He also loves to take care of Alex, our guinnea pig, like he was his own. It's not a surprise anymore to find Marlo in Alex's cage curled up next to him in the morning. We are so thankful to have Marlo as a part of our family and everyday he finds a new way to make us laugh and put a smile on our faces. Nothing can compare to the love and happiness that he gives to us. Thank you for helping make our family complete!
Love,
Kristina, John, Ecco, Emma, Marlo & Alex
"Tenny"
 Hi, I wanted to send along a picure of Tenny (his name with you was Axel) to let you know he has adapted well to his new home. He is the king cat! He has made himself at home here and as you can see, he has taken over the counter. The other place you will find him is in one of our beds! He loves to sleep during the day and play all night, but in the morning, he is there to greet me the moment I get up from bed. He fits so well in our family - I feel he has been here forever. Tenny was adopted 12/31/09 - thus his name Tenny - after the year 2010. Thank you for the opportunity of having him become a part of our family. He is well loved.Marilyn
"Hunter"
Dear AWS friends,
 It’s been 2 years since I left your shelter (for the second time) with Erin and Josh and it’s been awesome! I really love having a forever family and to say I am spoiled is an understatement! I have a new found love for the outdoors and can often be found running in the snow or grass, taking long walks on the beach or on the trails in the White Mountains. I also really love spending time in my grandma’s pool. I always wear my life jacket because I’m not a strong swimmer and as Erin says, “Safety First”!
 Other than being outside, one of my most favorite things to do is wrestle with Erin and Josh. It is so much fun and we all get to laughing real loud and hard. Can’t you just see how much fun I have with them!
Of course, life isn’t all fun and games and you always have to give back to others. So, each fall we make it a point to participate in the Strut Your Mutt. It was a hot day this past year but I walked the entire way all by myself. Aren’t you proud of me?!?
And then comes Christmas. Being a little white dog isn’t always easy – sometimes you have to put on a silly costume or sweater and smile for the camera! But then again, isn’t it worth it when you end up in a loving family like mine.
Noselicks and Tail Wags,
Hunter
"Venus"
I adopted Avis who is now called Venus in November '09. She is getting bigger and is very much loved. My 2 girls who are now 2 1/2 years and 10 months old love the cat so much and have fun playing with her. She fits into our house nicely and we all love her. She is happy and healthy!
Cyra and Family.
