Over the years we have had many animals come through and find new homes. Here are a few of their stories.

Charlie Charlie Adopted Winter of 2010 Posted January 19th, 2012 Charlie took time out of his busy day to send us this lovely note: “My name is Charlie and I was adopted from Heavenly Creatures almost a year ago.  I was a really good boy all year, but unfortunately my old family couldn’t keep me and so I had to go live at a pound for a little while. The other dogs there were really nice but what I really wanted was a home. For Christmas I asked Santa for a new loving family and my wish came true! The great people at Heavenly Creatures rescued me and then introduced me to my new mom and dad and to my sister, Liddy. My mom and dad love me so much, and I’ve never gotten so many kisses and hugs in my life! My sister Liddy is the same age as me and she’s my best friend in the whole world. Since being adopted I enjoy a life full of walks, trips to the dog park, rides in the truck, yummy treats and unlimited belly rubs...I’ve got it made! Sometimes I act foolish just to make my family laugh...and it always works! Mom and dad say that they couldn’t have asked for a nicer, sweeter or more affectionate dog than me and that I light up their lives, and my sister never leaves my side...so I think I’ve made a good impression! So a big thank you to the great people at Heavenly Creatures who rescued me and gave me a family. I wish that every animal in the world could be as lucky as me!" Love, Charlie Hailey Hailey Adopted Winter of 2010 Posted January 11th, 2012 Hailey's new mom says: "Hi there, Just wanted to give you guys an update on Hailey, She has settled right in and is like a huge baby. She loves to get up and get cuddles and snuggles from both August and I. She is a very protective dog, especially over August ( my 3 yr old daughter). She follows us every where including trying to get in the shower/bathtub with us. Hailey loves to go out for walks and run around the back yard chasing a ball or Frisbee. I just want to say thank you so much for Hailey, she is a treasure and will be loved forever, she is like a second child to me." Annie Annie Adopted Summer of 2011 Posted Nov. 24th, 2011 Annie is a senior cat who came to us in February of this year as a stray from Outer Cove (someone found her standing in the middle of a road; she wasn't moving despite the cars). She was in absolutely terrible shape - she was emaciated, anemic, one eye needed to be removed, and every inch of her coat was matted to her skin (she had to be shaved). To top things off, she is deaf. We don't know how she managed to survive as long as she did - how did she find food when she was in that kind of shape? Despite her poor condition, Annie's sweet purrsonality remained intact. HC volunteers visited her at the clinic when she first came to us, and were always wowed by her -  we`d pick her up, and she would snuggle in, and purr loudly. Thanks to the heartwarming response from the public to our plea for donations for Annie, Heavenly Creatures was able to provide Annie with  the extensive medical care she so desperately needed. We then found her a special home that cherishes her. Annie's new family is dedicated to providing her with the best life she can possibly have for whatever time she has remaining. Annie's mom writes: Just a note to let you know how Annie is doing. She's such a brave strong little girl. She has all her fur back and is just beautiful. She has gained some  weight which looks really good on her. She's not the scrawny little thing she used  to be. She still finds it hard getting around with the arthritis in her spine but she is a really determined girl. She's on medication for it now amd that helps her. My neighbour made her a set of steps so that she can get up and down off the bed in the nighttime. She can't jump up or down with her bad back, but she sure can meow even though she is deaf. She lets us know exactly what she wants and always gets her way. She is a sweetheart and we are so glad to give her the home that she deserves. No more cold, lonely nights for our Annie." Thank you M. Connors St. John's Patchy and Archy Patchy and Archy Adopted Summer of 2011 Dear Heavenly Creatures, We wanted to write you to let you know how Archie and Walter (formerly Patchy) are doing. We adopted these two little brothers in June and we couldn't love them more! They are Daisy's kittens - she was brought in to St.John's Veterinary Clinic on April Fools Day as a stray and surprised everyone by having just these two babies. Our boys are now almost 7 months old and were neutered last month at Woodpath Cat & Dog Hospital. Archie is the mostly-grey fellow with the arrowhead on his forehead, and Walter is mostly white. Walter and Archie asked that we send along a note to let everyone know how they are doing: "Hi Everyone - we want to thank everyone at Heavenly Creatures who helped us and our Mom, and who found us a new home with a Mommy, Daddy, and Granny to love us. We are very happy and busy. We looove to cuddle with our family and we make sure to give them lots of kisses and keep them clean with out rough little tongues! We have lots of toys to play with, but our favourite thing to play with is water. We like to "help" with the dishes by keeping the suds from getting out of hand, and watching people in the shower is fun too! We are also very good at doing our chores: we help Mommy fold the laundry (especially when it is warm and fresh from the dryer), we help Granny clean the litter box, and we even helped Daddy plaster the walls! We hope that you can find all the other homeless animals happy homes like ours! Thank you Heavenly Creatures. Love Walter and Archie." We want to thank Heavenly Creatures and especially the boys' foster mom, Karen, for bringing these two joys into our lives. Keep up the good work! Love, Melanie, Chris and Sandra Prince (formerly Luke) Prince (formerly Luke) Adopted Summer of 2011 Posted Oct. 21st, 2011 Prince was rescued by some kind people who were working in the remote Innu community of Natuashish, Labrador, and sent to Heavenly Creatures in June of this year. Like most of the dogs in that community, he had been living on the streets trying to fend for himself. He was in very poor shape when we got him - he was so lethargic he could barely stand up. We know he wouldn't  have lasted much longer. Thanks to his wonderful foster parents, and his new adoptive parents, Prince has recovered, and has a whole new life. He writes "Hi everyone, Wow has my life ever changed this year! Back before Heavenly Creatures saved me I was living as a stray in Labrador and I wasn't very healthy - I had lots of worms and I had even been hit by a car once or twice! But then I got rescued and sent to live in a foster home.  I even got to see the doctor who helped me feel better. As if that wasn't good enough, something really great happened - I got adopted! Mom and dad said they knew as soon as they met me that I was the dog for them. That's probably because I introduced myself by flopping over for a belly rub and flashing my big goofy smile! When mom and dad took me home I was still recovering from my hard years on the streets. I was so skinny that you could see all my bones, and I was so, so tired. But that didn't stop me from following my new family around the house and plopping myself down on their feet whenever I could. I couldn't help it, I was just so thankful to have a home and a family of my own! And even though I was new to this whole living in a house thing, I never caused any trouble at all....except when I tried to eat mom's pet fish, but she says she can't blame me for that because they do look awfully tasty! Now it has been a few months and I'm like a new dog! I run around and play like a puppy, my fur is soft and shiny and I am putting on weight. I have my own doggy bed, lots of toys, good food and a best dog friend named Molly who I love! Mom says I am the best dog in the world and that she and dad won the 'doggy lottery' when they got me. I don't know about that, but I have to admit, I am pretty awesome!" showing 1 to 5 of 131      Next>> PLEASE NOTE: We keep a Waiting List for those who are looking for a particular breed or type of dog.
