Pineapple and his new person
Zeke
Just wanted to give you an update on Zeke (Baby)! He is doing wonderfully, and is such a little pleasure to have in our family!! He has adjusted beautifully, and we are seeing his real personality now ? what a hambone! He plays chase with his big cat brother Danny all day, still loves his toys (especially his laser pointer!). He is indeed a lap cat, and will look for a lap as soon as he wants to take a rest from all of the play. Zeke sleeps with my son Danny every night (which is a thrill for him, since none of our other cats really liked to sleep in a bed), and we all get a kick out of how he gallops everywhere!
Violet
he kitties are doing great. The snuggle with us every night and have a shiny new 7 ft tall cat tree.
Tucker
This is Tucker!! We adopted him from you in March. We absolutely love this guy!! His big brother Stretch loves him too! Actually, we changed his name. He was Thing 2 when we adopted him. Tucker fits him pretty good.
Toby
Just wanted to send you a couple pictures of Toby a/k/a Sam with an update. He's settled in quite well with our family and with our other dog Maggie. He's very sweet and we love his energy and puppyness. He's a bit of a houdini and will find any way out of our back yard and is a runner. He's so cute to watch. He sure is a tenacious terrier.
Tigerlilly
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did with Dixie (Tigerlilly). She is such a sweet little cat. She adjusted almost instantly to our apartment. We have decided to rename her Tigerlilly, hope thats ok with you, we are big Disney fans. She is such a joy to come home to everyday. She purrs like an engine all the time. Again thanks for saving her life, if you didn't we wouldn't have this awesome new member of our family.
Gravy
Just wanted to send a brief update on Gravy and Zelda. They are both doing really well and getting settled into our household. See the attached photos. Gravy seems to be completely healthy and super playful. Zelda is a total sweetheart to us and to our dog, Kenzie. They both love to run around and play with one another so it seems that is has been a perfect fit for them and us.
Tiger and Pennie
Just an update on Tiger and Pennie along with some photos. They are getting along great so far. They play together a lot and have been found on occasion grooming each other.
Thank you and 2PawsUp for everything!
Teddy
Kai, now Teddy, adopted Summer 2010
Talia
I wanted to give yall an update on my new baby, the newly named Talia. She is doing WONDERFUL and I am so incredibly happy. She now pees when we go outside and is mostly comfortable on her leash. She lopes around on her awkward long legs and steals my socks and slippers.
Sheldon
Sheldon us a great dog from you guys that we got with the help of Betsy & Mitchell mill, he is forever grateful to be is his forever home 🙂
Roxy
When I got to meet Roxy, I couldn't believe how wonderfully behaved she was. She was very excited and curious. We loved her immediately. We've had her for a couple weeks now and couldn't be happier. 2PawsUp made sure Roxy was happy and healthy. They made sure my family was the right fit for her needs and that she was the right fit for ours. I could not be happier. She is the perfect addition to our already happy home.
Rocket
Just wanted to sent you a few pics of Rocket, he is doing well and has settled right in! He's been to work a few times (once for a bath and nail trim) and has done very well. He sleeps with us every night and loves to play with my daughter. He eats like a pig and should gain some weight soon!
Oakley
We adopted Oakley (known to 2pawsup as Marley) at the end of June after he and his 5 sisters had been rescued from a shelter by their foster mom Kim. He's pretty shy around other dogs but warms up after a while. He loves chasing tennis balls and frisbees in the backyard! His favorite toy is the cat...although she's not too thrilled about it.
He's quickly become part of the family and we're so thrilled 2pawsup gave us the opportunity to adopt him!
Rae
Lacy "Rae" is doing great! Thanks 2PawsUp. This is a picture of Lacy, all grown-up, at one of her favorite places, You Lucky Dog daycare.
Nibbler
Nibbler update 🙂
Nibbler has settled in and is doing well. Nora adores her!
Racheal
Racheal says hi and don't worry, "I'm teaching my new mommy not to do silly things like leave magazines in the magazine rack" and teaching my new brother what we can do when mommie's not home. Thanks for uniting Racheal with our family, seems like she was born for it. 🙂
Nash
Back in January of 2012 I adopted Kyle, now named Nash. I drove the whole way home with him on my lap not realizing how much he would change my life in just one year.
I take him with me almost everywhere, Lowe's, Michael's, the beach, you name it. We also go running together, he's a great run buddy. He pulls me along making me run faster 🙂
No matter how bad of a day, I am cheered up by my Nash. He is always by the door waiting for me, his body and tail wiggling in excitement.
Pinni
Pinni is amazing! Funny, fun, smart, wonderful, we LOVE her, and SHE loves the lake !!! She runs down to the dock and wades into the lake every chance she gets. Our property is perfect for her, she is high energy so she can run around 100 mph safely!
Thanks for all you do, because you all saved Pinni, she will bring us many many years of fun!
Murphy
I wanted to thank you for bring Murphy (buddy) into my Life. He is a wonderful addition to our family. I really couldn't ask for a better dog. He gets along so well with the other pets, Ellie cat, Cooper boxer, stone sable collie, Izzy terrier. He's great with my grandkids (18 months old, 4 years old, 11 yrs old) & my children. He greets everyone with those big brown eyes.
Monkey and Fenway
Monkey and Fenway are my two best friends, both rescued through 2PawsUp. I can't begin to imagine my life without them.
I also fostered kittens and dogs with 2PawsUp, which was an incredibly rewarding experience and I can't wait to foster again!
Thank you all so much for the major difference 2PawsUp has made to my life.
Molly
Molly meets us at the door when we come home from work and she's always up for a hug and a cuddle after a long day. She's the most loving and loyal cat we could have ever imagined, and we are thankful every day that she came into our lives. Thank you for taking such good care of her until she came to us!
Max
I wanted to shoot you a quick update on Max - we adopted him from you last April. He's doing awesome and loves his "brudder," Elliott.
Molly
Molly is very happy in her new home when she joins me for runs almost every day, she's a great training partner a she can always out last me and if I go too slow she'll turn around and give the leash a little tug in her mouth. She also loves going to the dog park (we have a wonderful large off leash park in Aberdeen with about a mile of trails), she is way at making friends and spends most of her time in the water chasing and swimming.
Molly
She is wonderful! She has gotten big (about 65lbs) and we have spoiled her rotten. She's a big baby and thinks she's a lap dog and sleeps with Ian every night. She loves attention and will just look at you with those big brown eyes til she gets it. She's great with my 2 year old grandson, who adores her. I just had a couple of photos of her here at work and have attached one (she's in her favorite daytime relaxing place when we are all home).
Mare
Mare is absolutely wonderful! We love her so much! I'm so glad that we adopted her! She's got such a warm, loving, sweet personality...and then just a little "feisty-ness" 🙂 She's adapted well...she stays upstairs for the most part, but John was surprised to see her come down and check everything out downstairs...she just walked all across the couches, the chair, through the dining room and kitchen, etc. and the dogs were in shock!
Macey
Macey was rescued by 2PawsUp from a shelter where she was surrendered by her owners when she was days away from giving birth to a litter of pups. Her foster mom Angela took her in, took care of her and her pups, and gave her a great home for several months. Little Macey's had a long life in her 11 years - in addition to her litter she's also a breast cancer survivor.
Loco Lola
Loco Lola is our beagle mix that we adopted from 2 Paws Up 15 months ago after fostering her brother Bailey. She is a firecracker with a HUGE heart and we couldn't imagine life without her.
She's full of hours of entertainment and limitless energy that lights up every room! I'm thankful that we fostered with 2 Paws Up, otherwise we may have never found her. Thanks 2 Paws Up!
Lily
We adopted the most adorable kitten, Lily, from 2PawsUp. What a great cause and people who who care so much about animals. Thank you.
Lexi
My family has fallen in love with her and my neighbors are always wanting to stop and get to know this little fire ball! She now wakes me up every morning by challenging me to a wrestling match and running excitedly around. (You know she's ready when her tail starts thumping!) She has an amazing capacity for love and is sweet in every way! She follows me around constantly and wants to know everything I am doing. We love our walks and snuggle time and though I know it seems silly, her improvement is a HUGE deal for both she and myself. I'm so excited about our future together.
Thank you SO much to 2PawsUp and her awesome foster family for taking good care of her. I love her to pieces and can NOT imagine my life without her anymore.
Layla
I want you to know we respect and admire what you folks are doing at 2PawsUp and we have been bandying your name about...I will try to get some pics posted; she really hasn't grown much larger than she was...she is a very "petite" little girl and very feminine. I would not have chosen the name "Layla", but oddly enough, it suits her nature.
Kinsey
I wanted to thank you all for uniting me with my sweet baby boy! I adopted Kinsey (previously Wilson) two weeks ago and couldn't be happier!
Iris and Isabella
Just want to let you know that I entered the girls in a photo contest at their new vet and they won first place! The category was "best friends". Here is the picture I submitted 🙂
Kingsley
The big guy on the right is Kingsley (I kept his name) whom I adopted from you last October ..when I went to pick him up at the foster she had a litter of chihuahua mix pups he was playing with and I couldn't let Kingsley go home by himself..hence his buddy Tiki on the couch next to him.
Guster
We adopted our sweet boy, Guster ("Mickey"), from 2PawsUp in October. He is a wonderful dog and came to us well socialized and healthy. Thanks 2PawsUp!
Joey
Just wanted to tell you again how much we are enjoying the kitten we adopted from you. He has grown so much, and at 8 months old is already way larger than our 4 yr old orange tabby. Joey, (formerly Igloo), has become fast friends with our dog Ellie, and is just such a laid back and friendly little fellow.
Jese
Jese is doing fine. He and my other tripod Laila get along very well. They love playing together and both of them sleep on the bed with me at night. They like to run around the back yard chasing squirrels. Jese acts like he still has all four legs. I take Jese and Laila over to the dog park on Lake Wheeler road once or twice a week. Jese loves running around with the big dogs.
Goldie
Just wanted to let you know that Goldie is doing great - we love her and she is really settling in. She's been wonderful with all of the kids and guests we've had and is quite a cuddler! She's had fun at the dog park lately and we're working with a trainer to try to make her more relaxed around smaller dogs.
Jasper
Formerly known as Yang, enjoying his new home
Muffin
Formerly Yin, loves her sisters!
Boo
Formerly Pinky, he loves his teenager and is stuck to her like glue.
Gobble
We want to share an update regarding a female Siamese/Tabby mix we adopted (in late February) from one of your foster situations. Our beloved 17 year old blind cat Comet had died just before Christmas and we thought it would be a long time before we would share our home with an animal companion again. However, I came across Gobble's story the very same day that my husband learned of a rescued cat living in another foster situation. Fate? Perhaps! Choose - we couldn't - so now we have two.
Diesel
Diesel is doing great! He pretty much hid for the first 3 days he was with me but he's out and about all the time now. The 2 Sheppies are used to him living here and everyone has adjusted well. He's such a good boy!
Franklin
Franklin is hilarious!!! He drinks out of the toilet; picks things up and carries them around the house like a dog; and makes a really strange warbling noise, only occasionally meows.
Emily
We adopted Emily cat from 2 Paws Up last October... she is a wonderful cat and it was easy to work with this rescue... they did their due diligence making sure we were going to give Emily cat a good home and her foster mom was terrific. Thank you and I recommend your group for others wanting to keep a great pet from a shelter... if you can't adopt right now, consider a donation. Thank you!
Elliot
Elliott is great. He's a good looking dog and we got a 2nd rescue dog named Sammy at the same time as getting Elliott and they are best friends.
Elliott sleeps under our bed every night and won't let my wife out of his sight.
He's 55 lbs and looks just like a golden retriever except of course he's solid black.
Ella
The girls are doing great and just love my Christmas Tree. It is too thick for them to climb into it but they love playing with the ornaments and just laying under it.
Elka
Sandra and I wanted to pass along a big Thank You to 2 Paws Up and to everyone involved in helping us to adopt Elka. She is doing very well, is getting along great with our older Akita, and is really enjoying her new home. We very much enjoy her and think she is making a great addition to our home and family. Special thanks to Linda and to John for serving as her foster parents and for welcoming us to their home to see and to adopt Elka.
Dexter
Hi! My name is Dexter and I am a sweet (and handsome) kitty, if I do say so myself. I enjoy playing and sleeping on my cat tree as well as sprawling out on any piece of paper I can find. If you leave a laundry basket lying around, I have been known to climb inside and take a nap. I have a great time playing with my 2 doggie buddies... even though they are 10 times my size, I can hold my own. I rule the house!
Cupid
Cupid, who is known as Elvis, is doing very well! He's still extremely active, too smart and too curious for his own good! No cat makes me laugh harder than this little guy does! Thank you so much for bringing him into my life! Of course, I still say he adopted me, not the other way around. You wouldn't believe how big he's gotten! He's due for his annual checkup and I expect he'll be around 11 pounds. He and his tail just seem to get longer by the minute! His Maine Coon heritage shows more and more every day!
Cooper
Just wanted to show you an updated picture of Cooper, who we adopted in early January.
He's such a sweetie and we love him so much! =)
Chester
My wife and I adopted our sweet boy Chester in March 2008. Couldn't imagine life without him. Thank you 2 paws up for the work you do to save these animals and awareness you bring to pet adoption! Our sweet boy Chester, adopted from 2 paws up in March 2008. Thank You for all you continue to do!
Cassie
Our family was blessed to have been chosen to be her forever family. She has grown from a shy, sweet puppy with a wild side when she's not around new people to a fun, happy snuggle bunny who loves to play, nap on us and start games with us. She's now about 45 pounds at almost 15 months old. We cannot begin to tell how Cassie has changed our lives.
Capone
Capone and his buddy, Simba... who came from Capone's foster Mom, Sharon Guss this past October. Both of them like to wake me up at 5:30 am... 🙂
Capone cleaning his paws and Simba about to join him for sunning on the bay window.
Cane
Just wanted to update you on Duke. Well his name is Cane now. Cause I am such a Big hurricanes fan. He has been great! No accidents in the house and he is spoiled rotten now. Took him to the vet last week. Everything checked out on him. Got his heartworm meds and frontline. He is growing fast! Just wanted you to know he was doing good. Thanks again!
Callie
I hope that you all are doing great. This April 25th will mark Callie's 4th anniversary with us. She is such a sweet dog and we are truly blessed to have her as a member of our family. She and our other dog, CJ, are inseparable and even as he gets older, he still loves to play with his Callie.
Callie
Happy tails. After 1 day!!!
Buddy
We adopted "Buddy" (we re-named him from Remington) about two weeks ago. He acts like he has known us all of his life. He slept with us the first night we had him. He follows me around the house like a puppy dog and wants to be in the same room that we are in. So far, he has lost 8 balls in our house. He can almost catch the ball when I throw it to him. He loves kitty treats and will do almost anything for them. Buddy is a wonderful addition to our house!
Bruno
We are in love. He seems to be taking to us very well. He is very loving and sweet. I don't know if I told you this or not, but I am on dialysis and I take my treatments at home. I sit in a chair connected to a machine for about two and a half hours per day, six days per week. He sits in my lap and watches TV with me, plays, or just naps. He is a real joy to have around and I am sure he will be for years to come. Thank you for letting him into our lives.
Brindle
We adopted Brindle (formerly Delilah) from 2pawsUp in March 2009. Can't imagine a day without her!
Bradley
He's doing great. He was a little shy at first and hid under the sofa for a few hours but she has been out exploring since and showing off his personality, especially once he discovered the food.
Blue
We adopted Blue (then Wagz) from you last spring. It was a bit of a rocky road at first but Blue is now well integrated into our family. He loves nothing more than to cuddle with you.
Finn
Just wanted to let you know that Finn is doing great. He is getting so big. Finn and my son still chase each other around the house. He is a spoiled happy little kitty
Wishing you happy holidays
Bella
I adopted Bella (who was a tiny black bear) from Betsy when she was so small that she couldn't even climb up the curb outside b/c she was so tiny Bella has become my "child" I have never had a dog before, and 2 Paws Up was amazing with teaching me everything I needed and needed to do to prepare for having a dog!
Bear
My husband and I adopted Bear right before Christmas this year. He's been an absolute joy to have around. As you can see, he loves our small daughter. He's already quite protective of her! Thank you so much for rescuing him and the countless others. We give you two paws and thumbs up! 🙂
Baylee
She is making herself right at home. We love having her here and the boys play with her all the time (I don't know who gets worn out first). She is very well mannered and is really good with potty training (very few accidents). Thank you Mikki for doing such a great job with her. I guess you could say, yes we would love to keep her.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to have such a wonderful dog!!!
Bagheera
I'd send in a picture. We renamed our cat Bagheera (from Disney's Jungle Book). She's a sweetie! As you can see ? she loves to be in the middle of whatever anyone's doing. Bagheera joined our other cat, Miss Priss, and is thriving well. Since then we've adopted a dog and another cat. All 4 get along great ? lots of playing and loving in our home.
Ace and Skippy Jon
I am still trying to get a picture with the three of them together but whenever I get up to get the camera they all jump up to follow me! Skippy now LOVES Guinness. Ace does his own thing when he isn't playing with Skippy. Ace has turned out to be the trouble maker of the two 🙂
Rags
Just wanted to let you know that Rags (We have named him Loki Boomer) is an awesome dog. He’s been so good for the first 24 hours he’s been home with us! My 11 month old went right over to him with food in his hand and he didn’t even try to get the food! He wasn’t to sure at first about going out the back door with out a leash, but he’s enjoying running around with Oliver in the fenced in back yard and being able to go in and out of the house when he wants to! We took a trip to PetSmart to get both dogs new collars and name tags (Oliver didn’t really need one, but I wanted them to match 😁). He got so much attention there and then got a good brushing when we got home which he seemed to like. We can tell Oliver’s happy with Loki (Rags) here! Oliver has been much more chipper with a new fur brother! Thank you again for selecting us to be his new family. He’s an absolute joy so far!
Apollo
Apollo (top), adopted 10/30/2018
Meatball
Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to love him and be loved by him.
Thumper
He has fit in so well! Both Copper and Quinn have really taken to him. They’re still working out how to play (Copper and Quinn tend to want to tug/play wrestle and Yoshi always thinks they’re genuinely mad at him when they’re just playing, so he backs off), but I am sure they’ll figure that part out soon! He has had no accidents in the house and is just the sweetest little guy.
Cinder
As you can see, she is fitting right in. We have changed her name to Piper since our boys could not remember that she is a girl.
She is the sweetest thing. Slept two nights in her crate, and the rest rotating from one kid’s bed to another.
Thanks so much for checking up on us and for rescuing her from the shelter. Our daughter Olivia said she didn’t know she could love a dog this much.
Zelda
Our house has cleared out with family and Zelda is now completely at home, even with her canine companion!
Pinni
In 2012, Pinni (Pinnacle) was hanging out at Mitchell Mill Animal Rescue after being returned to your rescue and 3 months in your care. At that time my husband and I were amazed to learn people foster. And so thankful.
Pinni has been amazing and is the leader of our 7 dog pack, 2 cats and hundreds of foster since then.
I am packing our home to move to a bigger property so we can foster more and came across her adoption folder so I thought I would send a couple awesome current pics.
Tonic
My boyfriend and I absolutely adore Tonic. She’s already part of the family and is adjusting well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Elsie
Hello!
I wanted to share a quick update. Elsie is doing great! She is a full 50 lbs now, knows sit/up/down/crawl/shake (both paws/high face (both paws)/twirl/drop/leave it, has had 2 successful trainer trainings, loves to track and find and SWIMMING, the list goes on. We’re doing well and just wanted to share it with you all. I have included some photos for fun viewing pleasure! Hope all is well, let us know if you need anything.
Thanks for everything.
