 
We adopted Yogi from Cheltenham Animal Shelter nearly 4 years ago when he was about 4 years old. Yogi had had at least 3 previous homes and numerous names. He was Toby when we chose him, and Leggy before that, but we liked Yogi instead! He was very very thin and the Shelter staff were very worried about him so we brought him back every 2 weeks for a weight check and after a month he was nearly double his original weight, but still not fat by any means. One of the nurses at CAS couldnt believe it was the same dog! He is now about 8 years old and very much enjoying life with our other rescue dog Bonnie (from the Dogs Trust). They love playing together with their toys and even have their very own sofa in the lounge. Yogi has been on numerous cottage holidays to Devon, and this year it will be North Wales! He loves swimming and the beach. He also now goes to an agility class once a week in Cheltenham and is getting pretty good considering he's not young. So you can teach an old dog new tricks! Yogi attended the Shelter's open day last summer and won the special dog award! He really is a lovely boy, a little naughty at times but mostly very loving. I have lived with rescue dogs since I was 3 years old, I am now 22 and would say to anyone considering getting a dog, it has got to be a rescue dog every time!

We adopted Spok, a 3 year old black and white female cat, earlier this week. After a rather stressful first 36 hours Spok has calmed down and is now like a different cat. She has almost stopped hissing and scratching entirely and lets us stroke her at almost any time. She is very inquisitive and even sleeps on my lap. She is still a bit jumpy when someone comes to the door and gets spooked at some noises but she seems quite happy and gaining in confidence every day.

Hi to all my friends at Cheltenham Animal Shelter. I came to my new home two weeks ago and have settled in really well. My new family adore me and give me lots of cuddles and fun. As you can see by the photo, I like to lie on the settee next to my new 'mum' where she can scratch my chin for me! I love playing with all my new toys espcially the piece of tinsel left over from Christmas and my furry snake on a stick! Thank you all so much for taking care of me until my new family came to get me.
Lots of love from Buster

Thank you all for your help in us adopting Lucas. Keep up the hard work, the animals appreciate it even if some of the humans you have to deal with don't!

It has been a very busy few months for Honey and Bea. Just recently they have enjoyed their fist taste of Christmas. Honey especially enjoyed opening her stocking with a few treats in it and Bea enjoyed her toy so much that he didnt make it to the new year! With the snow falling from the sky, Honey joined in sibling snowfights and helped build the snow man. Bea was a bit more weary and enjoyed running back into the warm and being wrapped in her blanket and snuggled by everyone.

Gypsy is doing really well. She has settled around home, loves playing ball and has been on loads of nice walks (we are getting fit). Infact, most evenings she ends up fast asleep in her bed in the lounge and snoring very loudly - we have to turn the telly up! We have met a few dogs out walking and she seems to be getting a bit better. We 'shooosh' at her when she leaps and snarls and she then goes into a submissive posture - it seems to be getting a bit easier! We have an appointment with Di next Wednesday, so we will let you know how we get on.

Dougal, Dennis & Doughnut |
This is Dougal, emailing from my new home! My two brothers and I are guinea pigs who were adopted about 6 weeks ago. When at the shelter, we were known as Dougal, Danny and Dermot. We now are Dougal, Dennis and Doughnut. Life is very good here with regular meals of carrots, cucumber (our favourite), curly kale... as well as delicious guinea pig nuggets, and lots of play time every day. Every evening we enjoy our meal on the bed in the spare bedroom, with a lot of fuss and attention from our new owners. Even our new friend, their elderly cat Frisbee, is no bother at all. In fact, he may even be a bit scared of us as there are three of us and only one of him!
We have become stars among our new family's friends as everyone wants to come and meet us. Great but very tiring! We are looking forward to spring when we will be sampling the great outdoors, and more specifically the lawn! I've attached a picture of myself and my brothers on the said spare bed, sharing a cucumber...bliss! I am the one on the left hand side, followed by Dennis in the middle, and Doughnut on the right hand side.
Kind regards and thank you again to all at the Cheltenham Animal Shelter.

I just wanted to a give you an update on Brandy who we adopted in November. We had already read Marley & Me when we collected him, so thought we were ready for him....! He has certainly changed our lives....for the better. He is such a beautiful boy, with a lovely nature and is full of character. He gets two walks each day and as a result if far too tired to get into too much trouble when he gets home. He is loving the snow at the moment and can not understand why it disappears when he tries to eat it.
We are taking him to some classes to work on his walking and jumping up, but aside from that we have had no problems with him. He still thinks he’s the cute little Andrex puppy and acts like it – I even caught him running around the house with a loo roll over the holidays! I have attached some pictures so you can see how well he is doing.
