Nirvana, Kya, Jelina and Piper head off to their new homes

Nirvana found herself homeless after being surrendered with one of her tiny kittens in August; with her kitten quickly adopted Nirvana settled in to wait for someone thinking about giving the "mum" left behind, a home.  A slender and delicate looking cat, Nirvana was initially a bit unsure about the turn of events in her life and though she didn't seem to mind other cats, she kept to herself in the Communal room, a bit nervous but not causing any commotion or trouble.  A sweet girl, Nirvana has now been adopted into a home with a very nice senior fellow.  

Jelina is a little Papillon who arrived as a stray, apparently escaping from a yard.  As the days went by and no one called looking for her - she did have a microchip, but when her breeder was contacted, there was no info on who she had been sold too - we learned that Jelina's guardian had passed away a month ago and since then she had been in two different homes - neither of which wanted her. Sadly, not only was Jelina missing her beloved guardian, she had no idea where home was anymore.

A cutie with soft soft fur (which appears to have been shaved) Jenlina was very friendly and outgoing with everyone she met, including other dogs.  But due to her recent circumstancees, she was also quite vocal in the kennels, telling the world her woes. In the blink of an eye the world that Jelina knew was gone along with being shuffled through two different homes in a very short period of time. No wonder she was one confused and anxious little girl.  Happily Jelina did not have to wait long for a home; and she has now gone to live with a family here on the Sunshine Coast.

Kya is a young dog who due to no fault of her own found herself passed around from home to home . . . at three years old, Kya had no idea what home and the feeling of security meant.  Arriving extremely thin, timid and a bit fearful, Kya is another dog who did not have to wait long for a home and is now starting to enjoy life with a young family who took a shine to her, and she to them :-)      

Piper was transferred here from the Chilliwack branch to help her find a new home; sadly Piper had found herself homeless due to the death of her owner.  Settling in quickly after her trip here, Piper soon got to work trying to wrangle some petting and attention out of anyone that passed by . . . she loves being petted and at nine years old this chatty girl was probably missing her previous home and finding shelter life a bit lonely.  The adoption fairy was looking out for Piper though and when Shorncliffe Intermediate Care Facility was looking for a feline to join the facility they visited the shelter and selected Piper; who has now gone to join the staff and residents there.  There will be no shortage of attention and petting for Piper ever again!
