Hello, my name is Stellita (Baby Girl to my mom). I adopted my mommy three years ago on 9/11. I lived in a shelter and was afraid of everyone because I was beat when I was 6 months old and ended up being passed from shelter to shelter. Then my mom showed up when I was 1 1/2 years old. I would follow her around, but would not let her touch me for about 3 months. I wanted to see if I could trust her, being a human and all. After that, she was the only one I trusted to go to. Some lady wanted to adopt me, but I did not want to go to her because I was afraid of everyone. So, mom stepped up and took me home (my forever home). I now live with my mom and two very small chihuahuas.
I had my Gotcha Day Celebration last month and could not be happier.. So, I justed wanted to wish you the best Gotcha Day Celebration day ever!

Happy "GOTCHA" day Rumpy.... give us a kiss. MOL MOL MOL....
OK now, the party has just begun! Start posting YOUR Gotcha! stories!
Happy Gotcha Day to my favourite Malamute Doggy blogger and poet. A big paw up for accepting Jen, De-De, June Buggie and the others into your life. You’re a pawesome pal and I hope there will be many, many more gotcha days.
OMD! You look soooo lovely today, Rumpy!!! I almost cried while I was reading today’s post! Everypawdy loves you!!! How wonderful animal world is!
Here I wrote a poetry about my mom and me.
It also mentions how we met, so I hope you like this.
I came here to save you and protect you
You can trust me who ever never leave you
alone
Your smile is the best treat for me
I will stay with you until my very last day.
Beautiful pictures! Sorry I couldn’t manage to send you mine on time 😦
I have two friends at home. Tommy, a 6 years old Yorkshire, who came to me with nine months. Her previous mama was and old lady who thought was buying a toy Yorkshire, but Tommy didn’t stop growing… so couldn’t handle him properly, so she call her vet and asked him to find Tommy a new home and bingo! His name was Tommy already, so we didn’t change it.
My second baby is Lucy, named after Lucy Pevensie from C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. Her mommy, a white Lab, got pregnant at her first heat (father unknown) and the owners decided to give away the puppies. They call the vet, he calls me and on a summer afternoon 3 years ago she became part of our family.
And that’s our story.
Have a nice day!
Hi! Are you asking about the links I send you? My daughter Pilar has photography blog, and, of course there are some pics of the dogs, that’s where I got them. Here’s the link: http://pdevue.wordpress.com/
Have a nice post-gotcha-day day!
🙂
Rumps! Happy Gotcha Day! You’ve been the perfect representative of all my canine, feline, bovine, avian, etc. friends. 🙂
Have an AWESOME Gotcha Day Rumpy! I hope you have a wonderful celebration (love the hat!) and an especially fabulous day. Lots of great pics and stories from all your friends here – it’s always fun to read how others found their humans! As for me – I celebrate every day that my Mom and Dad found me in a shelter almost 12 years ago and gave me such a happy life!
Happy Gotcha Day Rumpy! How good that it is on Thankful Thursday. My Gotcha was two weeks ago. I wrote my story today in my blog so you can read about it there…Have a great super fantastic day *snoogles*
Happy Gotcha Day! Mine is in the springtime. I was a tiny puppy when I came to my forever home. Can you believe someone dumped me in a parking lot? My people say they are very glad they found me at the shelter and brought me home. I’m very entertaining.
Happy Gotcha Day Rumpy! Here’s my Gotcha Day poem. It’s kind of long, but I had to tell the whole story.
I like to run
I run for fun
But it really got me in trouble
They locked me away
For more than a day
It kind of burst my bubble
Dog jail’s no good
I don’t like the food
And other dogs barking all night
I’m stuck here for sure
My brain is a blur
To live like this is such a fright
But they came, yes they came
And they tossed me a ball
Then they left just as fast
One more ball – Is that all?
The next day I saw them
My leash they did get
They took me and told me
I’d be their new pet
At first I was scared
When I saw my new home
The cat didn’t like me
And the yard I did roam
But now I’m adjusted
I’m happy to say
Especially when someone
Is willing to play
Hi Rumpy! Happy, happy day to you! I wish you tons of extra treats and toys today! And what great gotcha stories! Yours was particularly entertaining…hehee!
Love,
Payton
Happy Birthday Rumpy. You have so many wonderful friends and I am happy that many have chosen to say so many great things about you on this very special day. You deserve it all. You are a magnificent ambassador for dogs (and cats). Happy Birthday. Love from Bassa xx
Happy Gotcha day sweet Rumpy!!! Have a terrific, fun day. Enjoy all the attention and special things you get. Hugs and nose kisses from Chancy, Snookum, Patches, Pooh, Angel, Baby Boy and Mumsy
Happy Gotcha day Rumpy ! Kitty-kiss from (I hope you don’t mind) on this special day.
Here is my story. I was a shelter kitty when I adopted my human. I adopted her and not the other way around. She had come to the shelter hoping to adopt a grey tabby baby girl kitty. The lady at the shelter said they did not have any kittens at that moment so she brought my human to the room where they kep older kitties. When I saw this human coming in I thought this was my chance. I walked over to her and started giving her head bonks and talking her into taking me to her house. My human to be had her mind set on adopting a baby cat so she went home. She thought about me all night long, she kept thinling about my eyes and my constant talking. She went back to the shelter the following morning and said to the shelter lady she could not get me out of her mind. She did the paperwork and I went home with her. So I really did adopt her. Instead of adopting a grey tabby girl kitten, she was adopted by a one year old male orange tabby 🙂
I wish all shelter kitties were as lucky as I am.
Happy Gotcha Day! What a nice idea to have a roundup of adoption stories. We love them all. Target’s Gotcha Day is tomorrow: he is the sole survivor of a stray family who died of cat flue. He was picked up by a rescuer and then we were allowed to take him into our family. Au was beaten, wrapped in plastic bags and dumped on a motorway. He was picked up by our friend, and passed to us. Guido was a stray on the street. He was rescued and we got to adopt him. Come visit us anytime.
Hello there Rumpy Dog!!! Awwwww HAPPY GOTCHA DAY! Me and Charlie are so sorry we are a couple of days late but we hope you had a great day of fun and celebrations! We are glad you rescued your human – that was indeed a wise and wonderful move on your part!! Yay!:-) Enjoy and take care

I do too Chabs, but some humans just aren’t ready to be saved I guess.
Great pictures! How long did that hat stay on, Rumpy? 😉
