Jared: From feral to fun!

UPDATE FROM ARVSS:
Hey Karen,
Jared has just been adopted!!!

Jared went for a 4-day sleep-over with a family and he is doing great! He still has some issues with shyness--but K has lots of experience and she will continue with the work what Matt and I have started.

We had exposed him to very calm children who did not spook him in the least. His new family includes three very active young children and he really took to them, too!

UPDATE FROM NEW FAMILY:
Hi, Susie!

Things are going well! He has become quite playful when we go outside now. He bounces everywhere in the snow and then bounces on you.

He is learning quite quickly what he can and cannot do. He has tried to check out things on the counter-with a good scolding in tow.

He's tried playing with a couple of the cats. Unfortunately, they disagree.

He still is having trouble coming out of the carrier when we want him to, but I have been closing it sometimes during the day so that he has no choice but to investigate things.

Yesterday, he hauled my daughter's tennis shoes in with him and was sleeping with them. He also, decided to play with a few gloves and toys left on the floor. Quite the mischievous little guy!!!!

If you haven't guessed yet, we plan on keeping him!!! We think he is quite special!

Thank you for everything!!

K~
