Mr. Jeeves entered the shelter on September 9, 2005. He was fostered by two wonderful people, Suki and Al Anderson. After staying with them for three months, they decided to make him a permanent member of their family and adopt him. His adoption was finalized on December 30, 2005. What a great Christmas present for Mr. Jeeves and his new family!
Tyson was adopted by the Department of Corrections and graduated from their program. Tyson is now working in New York City with the Department of Corrections.
Dear Staff,
Thank you for being so kind to me while I lived at your facility. I now have a nice home and two new friends that take very good care of me, but none of this could have been possible without your good and caring nature.
Charlie took me to the veterinarian and he was most impressed at the quality of care that was given to me, and even said how much he liked and trusted the Lock Haven SPCA. After a complete examination he gave us a clean bill of health. I am due to be spayed on March 31, 2006. (But I don't want to think about it).
If any of you good folks ever travel up this way, please come and see me.
Your friend,
Doodles
Jim and Dee Pletcher adopted Julia, an American Bulldog/Boxer mix, from the shelter. Her new name is "Puddin Pie" and she is doing extremely well with her new family. According to the Pletchers, "She is the sweetest thing!!!!! She's also very smart, and wonderful with our cats." They also adopted two cats from the shelter, Benny and Angelo. They now call Angelo, Boomer, because "he goes down the steps like a bag of rocks. He literally stomps when he walks, and appears to be bottom heavy. We think it's that big tail of his. We can't thank you enough for helping us to get these new members of our family!!!!!!!"
Hi!
We just wanted to give you an update on Bentley (otherwise known as Rubien while in your care). He was the golden that came in with his cocker spaniel friend in May.
Bentley is doing great. He has adapted very well into our family. Our resident golden (Parker) immediately loved him! He is living the high life, and is already spoiled rotten. His days are filled with bunny watching out the window, chewing bones, lounging on the sofa and of course wrestling around with Park. And his all time favorite activity... swimming! The first time we took him we couldn't help but laugh. It seemed as though he must not have done any swimming in his previous home. However, it didn't take him long to realize how much fun swimming is, and now he is able to keep up with Parker. He has even started to imitate Park as a "dock dog". (As you can see by the one picture of him jumping off the dock). He is a very eager to please dog! We've been working very hard on our leash skills, and he is starting to learn that walking beside us is much better than dislocating our arms by dragging us down the street!
Shortly after we got him we had the unfortunate experience to experience a seizure. Quite a scary experience. We rushed him to the vet, and were told to start documenting and if they became more regular we would look at other options. Well, a few more followed, so Mr. Bent had to experience his fair share of testing and blood work and is now on Phenobarbital twice a day. We haven't seen a seizure since he started, and the vet is pleased. We were just up for another round of blood work to make sure the medication levels were good for him. Now we'll go again in three months, and then every six after that.
It is quite obvious to us how happy Bent is. He never leaves us out of his sight, and often insists on sitting ON us just so he can be so close. I often try to imagine what he's been through in his past life.
I've attached a few pictures of him happy in his new home! As you can see he no longer has the sad brown eyes that originally made us fall in love with him. He now has the happy golden eyes... which are even better!!
Thank you all for allowing us to adopt him!
Hello. Here are 2 pictures of Eliza. I adopted her from you in October 2006. She is a really great friend and very, very playful and full of spunk.

I just thought I'd send you a picture of Ginger/Jayne (now renamed Gracie), taken shortly after I got her home last Wednesday. As you can see, she's made herself quite comfortable. I took her to my vet in State College yesterday and, other than an upper respiratory infection, she's in fine health.

Here is a photo of Junie B. Jones, best looking and best behaved dog in Forksville! Thanks and keep up the good work!!
We got Abe in December of 2003, 6 days after we just lost our cocker spaniel of 15 years. Abe is a wonderful dog, he is so loving. He loves to sit on a lap, going for walks, stopping at the firehall where he is the mascot, and he loves going fishing in the boat and kissing the fish that we catch.
We got Toby in May of 2004 he is a lap cat and loves playing with his sister Chloe.
We then got Molly in November of 2005. She is our hyper one out of the bunch. She also loves to go for walks, fishing in the boat and loves to talk after her morning walk to get her breakfast.
All of them would like to give a big thank you to everyone at the SPCA for taking great care of them before they were adopted.

Kaih came to the shelter with a broken leg. She was adopted by Chris Lindquest and is now happily living with her forever family!
Ellie was adopted by the Pennsylvania State Police and is now a drug dog for them.
I just wanted to let you know how things are working out with "Raven", the female tabby I adopted on April 21st. Her name is now "Scooter". She was indeed very shy and skittish for the first week in her new home.
Since then, she has had her check-up at the vet's, blood work, declawed and spayed. Now that the hard part is over she has become the most loving cat we could hope for. Rather than hide under the furniture, she is out and about and follows me around begging for attention.
Three weeks ago she didn't want to be held but now she falls asleep in my lap while I watch TV or work on my computer. She seems very happy to be here and we are very happy to have her.
I would like to thank the SPCA for the services you provide and the excellent care you give the animals in your care.

Thank you so much for our sweet and gorgeous Keira!!! She sleeps on her doggy bed between the boys' beds during their nap time and at night.
They love playing with her and she is absolutely amazing with the kids. They have already taught her to sit and we are working on her coming to them when they call her name which is quite different than when I say it, kind of sounds like K-ah, so cute! Even my 16 month old daughter Matix has warmed up to her and has even sat on her, fell on her, stepped on her feet and tail and good 'ole Keira just takes it with a grain of salt. We have discovered she loves to play with the blankets and there is nothing more funny to Gage and Dante (my twin boys) then covering her up and watching her run around with it and squirming out of it and popping her head out of the folds. I hope to be sending you many more photos in the future to keep you updated on how she is acclimating to her new PERMANENT home. She is definitely an awesome dog and we are so very lucky to have found her. Thank you for being open and being available to take her in so we could find her! Ironically I was coming in to drop off a donation because I noticed it was SPCA week and I didn't have any anticipations of adopting a dog but I'm so glad we did, thank you thank you thank you!!!
Sincerely,
Laura, Gage, Dante and Matix!!!
This is Trevor. He was adopted in March 2010 by Wade and Susan Hanna. Here is a picture of him peacefully walking back to his forever home after some fun in the woods.
I wanted to send you a few photos of the dog we got there back in July. His name is Trooper (his name was Sam). He is the best dog & we love him very much!
