He loves going for his daily
walks, sunbathing out on the
patio and chasing the birds in
the garden. He particularly
likes playing catch and tug
of war. Marley is a very
affectionate boy who loves to
hug and kiss us all the time.
He is always thrilled to sleep
in bed with us and cuddles
under the covers. He rides in
the car with me to pick up my
and trying to find them. We also take Marley to
the groomer every month for a bath, nail trim and
blueberry facial. He has added so much joy and
excitement to our lives, and we feel so lucky to
have him as part of our family!
Dear San Diego Humane Society,
I just want to let you know that Sallie is doing great! She
is a lovely addition to my home and seems to be adjusting well. We are
narrowing down what toys she likes best. It’s funny how an empty toilet
paper roll is way more fun than any pricey toy from a store! Sallie loves
to wake me up with nuzzling in the middle of the night, which is certainly
taking some adjustment on my part, but I like to think that means she is
Maxine Elghanian
happy and comfortable. She is eating very well and meowing in her funny
way when she wants my attention. Thank you again for loving her; you
Making a Difference Just
got Easier!
Wish you could do more but not sure
how? The United Way and Combined Federal
Campaign programs may be just right for
you! Automatic monthly payroll deductions
make it easy to make a difference, and all
donations are tax-deductible as permitted.
For more information, contact the Humane
Society at (619) 243-3469 or see your
employer’s Human Resources department.
