WOW Cambridge Award - Congratulations Donna!
Each month the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond, providing what your customer sees as extraordinary service in an everyday situation.  A recent recipient of this award was Donna Leslie of The Cambridge & District Humane Society.  Please read below the customers experience which earned Donna her award.

Before coming to Cambridge, I drove from Guelph to Toronto to see another dog, which I liked a lot but she had abnormal urination issues which may or may not have been able to be resolved and she was a little to 'excited' for our daughter.  Anyhow, from the second I stepped into their facility, I felt unwelcomed, looked down upon and was spoken to by the grumpiest young lady who obviously did not like her job and was unhappy to be there.  Point being, the SECOND I walked into the Cambridge Humane Society, I was greeted by more than one person who obviously loved their job and were happy to be there.  They took the time to answer questions, were overall happy people and were truly in love with the animals that were housed there.  I felt like the dogs (and cats) were getting the love and the attention they deserved from a facility, which unfortunately, is something I did not feel from the other one I went to visit.

Chelsea aka Liz, is doing EXTREMELY well - she settled in from the first minute I stepped in the car (in fact, she will NOT stop licking me).  Her and Spencer (her new doggie brother) get along famously and she already lets Ayanna (our daughter) snuggle in and play with her on her big comfy doggie bed.  She is a smart girl who already responds to her new name and has her basic commands pretty down pat as well.  There have been a few 'accidents' in the house, but that was to be expected since she just came from a kennel setting so I'm sure it will come in time.  Chelsea is one dog who has definitely picked her master VERY quickly as she wont stray far from me and I think she is going to be an EASY dog to train off leash for our daily walks since she keeps looking back to make sure I'm still there.

Thanks to everyone at the Cambridge Humane Society for all the work you have done with Chelsea, the other animals and for the amazing welcome!!!!!
