Before adopting an animal, make sure you are compatible!

No matter what the species, it's always a good idea to check whether we or our family are a good match for the animal we want to adopt!

I've been involved in animal communication for several years. I've had the pleasure of meeting many people and their pets. My clients consult me on many situations and issues with their animals, including adoption.  The experience of adopting an animal is often joyful, but sometimes unhappy too. I accompany my clients and their animals through animal communication to facilitate the first meetings, prepare the animal for its new family, and help them adapt after the adoption. Imagine having the opportunity to get to know your new companion's personality, skills, and ideal living environment before adopting him or finding him a new family and environment! This is very helpful and beneficial for both you and the animal!

If you'd like to hear concrete examples of PRE-ADOPTION ANIMAL COMMUNICATION SESSIONS, I've selected three real-life adoption cases: a poodle who needed a new home, a cat whose human had died and a dog returning from a war-torn country.

The poodle and his sick lady

Charlie has been living with a woman since he was two months old. He is now 8 years old. For health reasons, the lady can no longer keep him. She offers him to a friend whom the dog knows well, as she has looked after him on various occasions. The woman is determined to prepare her dog for this change of life. She explains that she's moving and isn't allowed to have pets in her new place. The dog pauses and asks her why she's chosen this place if he can't come with her. She's embarrassed, as she doesn't want to give him the real reason, which is her declining health. They continue to talk, but the dog senses that something is up. We've been through a lot together," he says, "and I know you'd choose another place for me to come with you. What's really going on?"

I explain to the lady that if she really wants to help him adjust to his new life, he needs to know the reason for his adoption, otherwise he'll wait for her, which often causes problems and pain for both the new sitter and the animal. She tearfully tells him that her health no longer allows her to keep him. The dog's energy immediately changes.

-I understand," he replies. You've got to take care of yourself now.

He even tells her to take action in the next few days, and how to go about it when the time comes for her to leave him. And so, she did. Later, the new sitter tells her that when she left the house, the dog came back into the kitchen with her, sat next to her, and she sensed he was home. Previously, when she looked after him, he ate very little, lay down by the front door and wait for my client to return.

A guardian's hospitalization and death

A man with a feline companion is hospitalized, then dies. Life has just turned upside down. We’ve got to find a solution for the cat! Who will look after it in the days following the man's departure? Where will it go? Who can, who wants to adopt it? What's the best solution for the cat? This fact of life can happen at any time. It's important for our pets and for the people around us to plan and prepare for what will happen to our pets when we leave. This makes things easier for everyone. Just as we make arrangements of all kinds, this one is just as important, because it has a direct impact on the life of our animal companion.

For this man, his beloved cat was adopted by a close friend. We explained to the cat why his guardian was no longer there, as he didn't understand and was waiting for him. The friend asked him how he felt with her and in her home, as she was ready to find him another family if her lifestyle didn't suit the cat. He told her that he now understood his guardian's absence. I noticed that he immediately settled down and released the stress relating to the whole situation. He thanked the friend and asked for time to adjust. After a few months of cohabitation, I spoke to him again. He now has a new name that he likes and he's feeling good about his new life. He thanked her and said, "Now my old life is over, let's create our own life together, a lighter and more pleasant one." A happy adoption for both!

Arriving from another country

I had a joyful request from a couple who were adopting a six-month-old dog from a war-torn country. They were excited and couldn’t wait to meet her. They adopted her through an organization that rescues dogs from difficult situations. She arrived at Toronto airport with five companions. It's love at first sight! She lets herself be petted; she is quite affectionate. She shows nothing but signs of joy. After a long plane journey and a six-hour drive to get home, she gently settles into an environment totally different from what she's known since birth. She was a stray dog, wandering through bombed-out streets and rubble trying to survive. After a few weeks with her new family, I meet her. Despite her great affection and gentleness, she carries traumas from her stressful experiences. Using animal communication, I help her to let go of her past so that she can integrate and live freely in her new life. With the help of her guardians, we help her on all levels: physical, nutritional, psychological, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. She's now eight years old and a well-balanced dog, full of life, strength, and joy. The very picture of resilience!
