“We won the lottery by adopting RoJo!  Spent a lot of time socializing him with special attention to men due to his apprehension.

He loves the water, kids, and other dogs and has quickly understood our property boundaries.

RoJo is a total goofball who has a gentle way but loves attention!  Cuddle bug at night.”

One of the best parts of rescue is the happy updates.  Home Again fosters live for this feedback.  Satisfied families make for happy pets.

Mocha was rescued by Home Again and placed in a busy foster home with many other animals.

She did not thrive.  Home Again’s cat manager took Mocha into remedial care where she was given 7 months of patient loving care with her one and only cat friend.  Mocha’s age — 10 years old — makes her impossible to ask for an adoption fee, so a kind and patient senior lady stepped up to provide Mocha a suitably quiet home.

Cat and adopter interviewed at Home Again’s foster home for over an hour and Mocha fell in love with her new owner!  They will live happily ever after.

Adult cats need time to adjust to a new home.

Tommy, born to a feral mother, was dumped in the woods two winters ago.  Somehow, he survived the cold, fought off predators and managed to forage for food.  Eventually, Tommy made his way to the home of his rescuer.  She fed him, talked to him, played with him and patiently gained enough trust to be able to catch him.

She then asked Home Again to foster him, and he blossomed.  He was confident in this new foster home.  Tommy received a thorough vet checkup, vaccinations and was neutered.

Gradually the limp caused by broken toes and other injuries improved.  On April 1st, 2023, Joshua and Bailey adopted Tommy.

“We love him so much,” says Bailey, “He favours Josh.  We give him lots of attention.  He is very playful, especially with a feather wand.”

Tommy’s days are now filled with chin scratches and purrs, thanks to people who really care.  And that is a purrfect tale!

“Three years we brought Cammie home with us. It’s hard to believe it has been 3 years, it feels like she has been with us forever!

She is doing great, loves to sneak off to visit the neighbours and sleep under their trees!  She comes wandering home as if nothing happened, LOL.

We live on a river, so one of her favourite pastimes is running up and down the shoreline talking to the boaters as they pass.

Needless to say, at the end of the day we have one tired puppy.  Thanks again for the work you do and bringing our girl into our lives,” says John Trimble
 

Home Again loves to hear from our alumni. We put a lot of effort into getting our dogs ready for adoption and appreciate knowing that they serve their new owners well and lovingly.

“I had a wonderful experience with Home Again Bancroft.  I was quite a while thinking about, researching and browsing the sites of dogs for adoption when I tripped over your site and the met the eyes of Dexter, who is now my special, trusting, loving little partner.

“We are definitely a team, both giving and getting loads of love from each other.  He is also part of a large extended family at Heritage Manor in Pembroke ON.  As one resident said, “We all own him now.”  Dexter goes to the lobby of the building to visit the many regulars who wait patiently to pet and cuddle him.  He knows exactly which residents have a bag of treats in their walker baskets and will sit, shake a paw and lie down, to get one.  The smiles he receives warm my heart greatly. When we are in our own apartment, he is the gentlest fellow who never leaves my side.

“I have no words to describe what he means to me.  I have adopted the perfect dog for myself and my home.  Home Again were quick to respond to my first request, led me through the process (technology is not my strength), prepared Dexter for adoption in a foster home (no kennels) and made all the connections to complete the process.  Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart!!!” — says Cheryl Liot.

Dexter, a Papillion/Pomeranian cross, was surrendered to Home Again by his senior owner, when he was 9 years old.  It was a challenge to get him to Cheryl’s residence during a COVID-19 pandemic lockdown of her building.  Home Again volunteers do whatever it takes to ensure that our pets go to the best forever home.  Now, Dexter works for his treats — dogs are happiest when they are working.

“I just thought I would send this little update picture.

I adopted Toby (then called Rudy) 6.5 years ago.

We now live in Fredericton and he is 9 years old.  He is the best boy, so kind and smart,” says Clio.

Home Again picked the right forever home for Toby.  His AFTER photo looks better than the BEFORE one.

“We are so happy with Hughie (formerly Hudson) from Home Again!  Special credit goes to Rob for great fostering.”

..says Hughie’s owner Allan Ross.

Home Again fosters are the backbone of our organization.

“I have been lucky enough to have adopted a kitten from your organization and also had a stray I found, helped by Home Again. I just thought I would send a note to let you know how much I appreciate all you have done for the community.   Steve and Eddie are about 3 years apart in age, but they have become the best of friends.  Eddie was adopted May 2020, during the height of the first Covid wave.  He even got his picture in the Bancroft paper.   Thanks for all the great work.

Sincerely,

Greg Cherniak, Tory Hill, ON”

Cats will assume a prima dona position, yet accept another cat in the house if they are introduced gradually, under supervision.
