My name is Tuk Toy aka Meiko - don't ask me how I ended up at the shelter, I am still trying to figure it out. I remember living where there was a lot of snow. I seem to remember the name Iqaluit. Anyways, for some reason I couldn't stay where I was. I had to take a trip on a plane to go to the SPCA in Gatineau. They had room for me and felt that they could help me find a new forever home. The people there were very nice and took good care of me; they kept me fed and warm. I met new friends, some furry and some people. I had a couple of training sessions with a man named Bobbi who was teaching me some manners. Bobbi thought that my new home would find my new manners useful. I saw many friends come and go with their new family. I began to wonder if my turn was next. I had been fixed and had all of my shots, I just needed a home now. Finally when I began to wonder if my turn would ever come, I was put on a leash and let out into the waiting area to meet my prospective family. My new family thought I was pretty special, and they decided to take me home. They gave me the new name of Tuktoyaktuk. I am so happy to have found my new family, they love me. They sometimes call me King Tuk Toy and I rather like that. I didn't know how I was going to fit in because my new home had other furry friends. We all had to have a bit of an adjustment period and I had to learn that the cats were not just visitors but family members just like myself. Now I give the cats lots of room because I know they can be a bit testy. My family also has two dogs that are my sisters and we get along very well. I am so grateful to the SPCA of Western Quebec and everyone there for helping me along the way. Sincerely, Tuk Toy
