Some of our success stories! If you've found a your new Fur-kid through Winterpaws, we'd love to know how they're going!
Dear Cindy
Just had a look on your site and realised I should emailed you to let you know of another success story, and maybe put Mahli’s old family’s minds at rest if they happen to see it.

In November of 2008 I saw a beautiful picture of Mahli the 7yr old Malamute looking for a home, along with lovely a write up from her family about what she was like and why they could not keep her (child had severe asthma).
We went along to Somersby RSPCA to meet her, I must admit I was overwhelmed by her size, but my husband immediately fell in love with her and the next day we took her home, to our childrens’ delight, to be part of our family.
We absolutely love Mahli, she was obviously loved and well raised by her previous family. She gets on with our cats, loves all visitors and her new best doggy friend is Max, our miniature fox terrier. I take her on walks everyday and she always makes sure she gets lots of belly rubs and sleeps by our bed at night. Occasionally, she is a bit naughty and sneaks out the gate if it has been left open and goes for a swim in the neighbours dam then comes home wet and smelly.
Attached are some pictures.
Sue and family. |
| Alakas Story

We drove up to Richmond and picked up Alaska as she was too much for her past owners who had relocated
A 2yo white Husky to join out clan of 3 "normal" coloured dogs
After a day of being a quiet girl she turned into a stand over tactician very quickly and took a lot of work in the first 2 months
She has joined in well and displays much more affection to us that the other 3 dogs - she must be thankful!
She bring some youth and vigour to the bike pulling team and is the new leader - and gets plenty of running and swimming in daily
She is more of a dog - and even barks at people who knock at the door so she adds another dimension
Kai 10, Keisha 9 and Tubz 8 put up with her well - she is not as tight as them but enjoys life solo at times and as part of the group when its human lead
We installed some electric wires on top of the 6ft colourbond fence so she is safe and sound - a must for this young escape artist !
Its been nearly 2 years now with Alaska in the crew - so thanks guys at Winterpaws for all your hard work and commitment
cheers

Here's Dakota!
He's just so lovable he's somehow made it to be an inside dog, despite his new Dad thinking he'd be only an outside dog! But how could you resist a big boofa like this! Thanks Les for giving him a great home! |

Seren made herself right at home with her new family. Her new family said she'd only come inside to the kitchen. It was less than 30 minutes before Seren had explored the whole house, and often sleeps inside at her new owner's feet.

Angel's luck came good, successfully rehomed to what could only be a dog's dream owner - a butcher! |

Loki was covered in fleas, with badly flystruck ears, and very underweight. After some medical attention, and a change to a good diet, Loki's coat improved, the hair on his ears grew back, and was a nice solid healthy dog. He soon found his forever home, where he is in good hands and has a girlfriend in a 10 month old Siberian Husky x Kelpie. |
Dakota
Thought I would share our story with you. We adopted Crystal around three months ago, we renamed her Dakota (new start, new name!). She now spends her days with her brother (Sabre) who she loves to play with (and boss around!) and playing at the park everyday with their friends (Mishka and Asha, also Sibes).
She has settled in beautifully and we love her very much. Soon Sabre and Dakota are both off to training camp (Sabre has been before, but this is her first visit!) she has learnt so much already we know she is going to have a lovely time and learn lots of new things.
We think Winterpaws does a wonderful job at helping re-home these beautiful puppies! I just wish we had enough space for more of them!
