Recently, The Canine Club and Spa has taken over the Impound
for the city of Chanhassen .
It has been so interesting and rewarding. My favorite part of the boarding
experience has always been the time when a dog that has been boarding reunites
with its owner and the joy that explodes from the dog and owner when the dog
comes busting through the door. With
impound this same thing happens only the joy is combined with relief. We have
made this reunion even faster by partnering with city to ensure pictures are
posted on the City of Chanhassen Facebook. The City has been awesome pioneering
this Facebook posting, and are getting rave reviews.
Some animals do not find their owners, and it is those
animals that our hearts just break for. Not a day goes by that you won’t walk
into Molly and my office to find an impound kitty sprawled out on the desk,
that is when we are lucky enough to have one. Fortunately, all the unclaimed
animals thus far have found a home immediately. It is those animals’ stories
I’d like to tell this week.
Our very first impound was a lovable kitty, who
affectionately received the name Kevin. Kevin was a sweetheart the moment I
took him out of the crate he immediately started purring in my arms. What a
perfect little cat. The entire staff instantly fell in love. Kevin’s days at
The Canine Club flew by, and it was when his days with us were up that Kylie,
one of our wonderful front desk girls, decided she just had to give a forever
home to this sweet little guy. Kevin, now Optimus, is thriving in his new home
with his new kitty siblings. A purr-fect
ending for a perfect little guy.
Right as Kevin was leaving and going to his new home, a
spunky little black cat came into impound. His story started much different
than Kevin’s. This little guy was thought to be about eight months old. He was
nervous when he first arrived but it took only a few days for him to really
come out of his shell. He was given the name, Wayne . Wayne
had tons of energy, if he could crawl under something or atop something, he was
all about it. When it was nearing the end of Wayne ’s
stay with us, we were contacted by a woman who had fallen in love with him on
the City of Chanhassen Facebook . With the assistance of a local rescue we were
able to let Wayne
go to his new wonderful home. Another
happy ending.
The next little guy has a real tear jerker of a story. After
the death of his owner on Christmas day, a matted white fluffy dog named Bear
came into our care. Bear was in pretty rough shape upon arrival at The Canine
Club and Spa. He was scared, and rightfully so, a new place after a pretty
dramatic life change. Bear, after a fluff and buff with a bit of a haircut,
came out of his shell. Bear is a super sweet Bichon that had the cutest little
smile. He spent his time with us and with no persons interested in adopting
him; I contacted the Carver-Scott Humane Society.Bear aced his behavior
assessment and the very next day was taken to the adoption day at Petco. It was
there that Bear met a wonderful retired woman that fell instantly in love with
him. Bear sat on her lap while she filled out the paperwork, and it was obvious
that this was love that will outlast a lifetime.
I love telling these stories because so many of us found our
furr-companions in a similar way. There will be many more animals that come
into our care, so be sure to watch for their stories.
I wanted to give a special thanks to the Carver-Scott Humane
Society; they have all been so helpful with these animals and so many others.
Rest, Relax, Have Fun
