Since I was asked by Patricia to write down my experiences with the transfers of my pets’ identities, I thought to do it well by trying to explain in full how the process was done from my perception of how a transfer is made.

I’ll start with my Knight II, who is a third “generation” due to Patricia’s aid in returning him to me twice already, and hopefully for the rest of my life.

The Soul Identity Transfer of Chatt to Knight and now to Knight II.

I got my first version of Knight in ’91. Back then it was Chatt, and she was a rather badly succeeded mix of a Pointer (lab-pointer mix mom) and a Belgian Shepherd (dad). Though she was the sweetest dog imaginable to me, the mix was not the most auspicious one, since two natural instincts collided whenever she came to the choice of hunting/roaming and guarding.
For me she was a loyal, loving and adoring companion, while the approach of strangers, dog and human alike, would make her ferocious enemy for the brave hearted who dared to draw near.
I had trained her well, heel, sit, down, wait, etc. But as soon as some unsuspecting fellow hiker/visitor would draw near it was quite a task to keep her in check. She even had a tendency to bite people when they startled her, and this of course wasn’t something that could be condoned.
For several years I went through the mind-wracking trouble of keeping her leashed and under constant close supervision lest she’d attack a dog that startled her, or worse yet, a human coming around the corner and threatening what she considered to be her territory.
Something in her breeding had crossed her wiring for sure, forcing me to make that dreaded decision of having her put down before she did someone some serious damage.
Loving her dearly, making up my mind about having her put down in ‘97 was the hardest I’ve ever done even ‘till this very day.

I was heartbroken, not to mention feeling very guilty about having decided on euthanasia, and for two days I was pretty much wallowing in my misery when Patricia told me to get out of my bed and come with her to a local breeder.
Admittedly I wasn’t much the cheering part as we sat there on the floor of the breeder’s patio, watching him tote one breed after the next for our viewing, but couldn’t feel even remotely excited about the prospect of a new puppy, no matter how cute or adorable they looked.
But then, there he came, toting along two 6 weeks old Bobtails, each tucked under his arms and wriggling their legs in their frantic eagerness to get to the ground.
It was love at first sight for me (I wouldn’t have believed it if anyone had told me I would ever fall for Bobtails, but there I was, falling headlong in love.)
Patricia didn’t hesitate at the sight of my attraction towards the two little fur balls, setting the process in motion while I sat there staring at the two being set down unceremoniously.
Two males: One gray and white, the other black and white.
The gray/white was a cheerful one, darting around like a proper lunatic, while the other soon disappeared from sight within seconds of having been put down.
While with our faulty Spanish, Patricia and I inquired after the care Bobtails needed, what they should and shouldn’t eat, I felt this light touch to the small of my back, making me look up from attempting to lure the nervous white-gray nearer, only to notice the black-white lying flat on his stomach behind me, staring up at me with a scarily familiar look in his big soulful eyes.
Floppy, and curly, white hair made his eyes glitter as he peered up at me, seemingly waiting for me to notice his presence, while patiently lying there pressed close to the ground.
Careful, as not to frighten the seemingly timid little one, I turned partway, carefully reaching out to pat his head, flat on the ground, while his nose was only inches away from my backside.
Unlike the gray-white, he didn’t shy away, and even went as far as turning over for a proper belly rub while he stuck his gangly little paws straight into the air.
Suffice it to say that my choice was made in that moment, earning me a wonderful cuddly pup with whose presence my sadness seemed to subside almost instantly.
On the way home, during which he refused to move from my lap for a single second, even when Patricia tried to coax him over, I decided to name him Knight.
Since Chatt had possessed so many faults in character, I thought it a good idea for both of us to start over and build a different relationship than the one we’d shared before.
Yes, little Knight was different, due to the different breed and his sex, but the changes were much appreciated since he soon had all the character traits I had loved about Chatt, without the aggressiveness that she had possessed towards others… even when she had still been a pup.
Knight didn’t show a single sign of shyness or tentativeness when he came home with me. He went sniffing around as if he knew exactly where to go and just tagged along with me as I led him into the house for a proper introduction to the other dogs. It was amazing to see how they sniffed him a couple of times and then just moved on as if nothing had changed.
In the weeks that followed our bond grew stronger. Knight had hardly any trouble learning to walk on a leash. It was as if he already knew how to come to heel, and would tag along… for as long as his young, but rapidly growing, body could manage, that is. He knew what “sit” meant, after repeating the instruction about four times. “Stay” ditto, but what surprised me most was his response to “down”.
One has to understand what a tremendous effort it had been to teach this command to Chatt, the endless hours of telling her “down” while moving my hand down in a flat gesture that took her weeks to understand.
And yet here Knight was, seeing me make the gesture and flopping down on his side to “play” dead, just the way I had taught Chatt to do years before.
I swear, I had tears in my eyes when I saw this, barely able to believe that this transfer could be so real, so complete in such a short amount of time.
I had my Chatt back but this time in a body/breed that was so much more pleasurable for me as well as her, since she was so visibly happy with her new situation and genetic disposition that didn’t give out mixed messages.
Chatt/Knight was content and so was I as over the years the Bobtail turned into a huge and very loyal companion, who wouldn’t hurt a fly unless someone actually posed a thread.

He was with me for eleven years, and even though I knew that I would get him back through Patricia, I hated watching him grow old and frail, way before his time, in my opinion.
Life was starting to get hard for him, a visit to the vet’s confirming that it was age playing parts on him, and several weeks passed during which I would wake in the mornings scared to lift my head to see if he was still alive in his usual spot.
By the time he was starting show visible discomfort, bravely holding on just because he didn’t want to leave me sad, I decided that it was enough, and once again Patricia and I stepped into the car, taking a heavy breathing Knight with us, and headed for a local animal shelter to see if there was a dog that would suit my most beloved and loyal companion.

Through a transfer of one of my other dogs, I knew that a transfer of an identity is easiest on a dog when he’s still alive. He’ll hardly notice it, and will just fall asleep and wake up in the new body, so taking Knight with me seemed like the right thing to do. He at least had the right to know where he’d end up.
We arrived at opening time, a rather dreary and cloudy day with more than a hundred dogs howling in their misery of having been abandoned in cold cages.
Knight slouched in the back seat as we parked and headed inside.
Walking along the multitude of offers there, my eye instantly fell on a scared black, huddling in the corner while staring out with big brown eyes that were just a tad wild as they watched the humans passing by with suspicion.
It was a Great Dane, and from the look of him around six months of age.
Patricia took one look at my face and knew that this was the dog I would want for Knight and assured me that he would suit very well. Quickly, half afraid that the Dane was already spoken for, I headed for the shelter’s attendant and made my inquiries.
According to the man the Dane was six months and had been delivered to the shelter by his previous owner, who’d decided that the dog was just too big to keep in an apartment.
Their loss, in my opinion as I pressed the attendant that I wanted him, and stood aside while the man entered the cage where the Dane was snarling viciously, backing off in fear and aggression as the attendant warned that he was a wily one, who’d be difficult to handle, if he managed to catch him at all.
Though I offered more than once to get him from the cage myself, the man took up to fifteen minutes to get him out, and was weary to hand him to me, when he could barely restrain him on the heavy leash he’d finally managed to snap on to his collar.
What with Patricia nodding at me that it was fine, and my own instincts telling me the same, I assured the man that it wouldn’t be a problem and took the leash.
The Dane (according to his papers his name was Darco) barely noticed the switch and jumped in fright when I patted his flank reassuringly.
He growled exactly one time before he sniffed my hand and calmed down instantly.
He came to heel with a slight tug on his leash and calmly followed me to the office where I would have to pay for my new/old pet and get the necessary papers.
The Dane actually wanted to play with me as we waited for our turn, jumping up and down elatedly as if he’d known me forever. There was instant trust in his eyes, and already I could sense Knight merging with the presiding character.
When it was our turn he cheerfully followed me into the office. Towards the attending vet he behaved like he did when he was in the cage, but he came to me for comfort and stood calmly while he got his chip and injections.
Heading towards the car, I could see Knight sitting tiredly in the backseat, watching our approach with old and tired eyes as his tongue lolled out of his open mouth. The Dane eagerly crawled into my lap in the front seat as I reached back to pat Knight’s head when he leaned closer for a good sniff and to lay his head on my shoulder.
The two looked at each other for a bit, before Knight settled back on the couch exclaiming a noisy sigh of what I, even to this day interpret as one of relief.

Even as we headed home, I could see Knight fading rapidly, and a few miles after departing from the animal shelter he was barely breathing, changing our course straight towards the vet hospital with our regular veterinarian.
Leaving the Dane in the car, and carrying Knight, who wasn’t even able to stand by that time, inside, it took the Vet less than fifteen minutes to realize that he was nearing his end and was well beyond any help.
Age had taxed his heart too much, leaving it enlarged and weakened to such extend that the vet was amazed that he’d held on as long as he had.
Knight went peacefully that evening, his big fluffy head in my hands as the Vet helped him along with an injection that finally allowed his heart to stop beating.
Yes I was sad that night, and I cried, but Knight II filled the gap Knight I’s death had left within just a few days.
I missed the old body, or shell, as I like to call it, whenever I gather my dogs around him, but that is the extent of it. Knight, as I knew him, the loving, loyal and comforting presence of him is still here, fully enjoying his young, virile and healthy body as he uses his ever increasing size to intimidate my other dogs… just the way he did when he was still a Bobtail and in his prime.
Like Knight I, Knight II is the alpha male in my pack, demanding obedience and humility from the dogs, while he resides by my side 24/7 as if he’s never left.

Again, there are some noticeable differences in character, due to the breed change, but all the parts I loved about him (and even Chatt before him) are still there. He still flops on one hip when he sits down. He’ll place his head on my knee when I’m seated, staring up at me with adoration. He barks when food is placed on a high shelf in the same fashion as he did when he was a Bobtail, that annoyingly rhythmical bark that can drive me nuts at times. He stretches out at my feet the way he has always done and he still has a conflict of interest with Bommel, one of my other dogs.
Different, but still the essence of the loyal companion I’ve had with me for the past seventeen years.

The End

The Soul Identity Transfer of Garuda/Gadah and Yhadzy/Yhadzy.

This is another experience I had with Patricia. It started was with the deaths of my Garuda and Yhadzy. The first was a full breed Bobtail, and the second a half-breed Bobtail/Collie, which admittedly wasn’t the best of combinations, but she was a sweetheart nonetheless.

Garuda had been a dog I’d gotten from a breeder who needed a home for his left-overs lest he had to have them terminated, so when I got him he was a scared, shy and terribly nervous dog, who was scared of his own shadow. As a matter of fact, on the day of his arrival he had such fear of open spaces that he tried to hide under a bush while barking wildly at anyone who dared to draw near.
Before that day he had never seen the outside of a cage, so freedom was something he didn’t know how to deal with. It took me months to get him over his fear, and even then he would not venture anywhere unless I was right beside him. Personally I could do anything with him, while others, even family members, could hardly get close to him without scaring him half to death.

Yhadzy was a wonderfully slender pup. Her built was that of a Collie (think Lassie) and her fur that of a Bobtail. She had been the result of experimental breeding from a woman who’d left her at a local Kennel, while she supposedly went for a holiday, from which she never returned. Not unexpectedly the Bobtail mother and her pups were transferred to a shelter where my mom adopted little Yhadzy for me.
I can still remember my brother squeezing himself through the door with the pup on his arm while the rest of the dogs were trying to decide whether to go outside, or sniff up the new scent. She was looking around his chest, long slender paws dangling down his arm, peering into the living room with her completely white head, except for a black patch around her left eye, while the rest of the dogs vied for her attention. It was love at first sight for me.

After being with me for approximately six years, both Garuda and Yhadzy had to be put down just months after each other, after having suffered from a multitude of diseases, worst of which the dreaded southern European disease Leismania (sandfly) through which their immune system had been practically annihilated, and after many years of treatments that failed to work on them.
It was a hard and perhaps too long postponed decision to have these two loving dogs put down, but seeing them look miserable and knowing full well that neither of them could simply enjoy life anymore, I finally had it done.
It was a hard blow for me, as well as the rest of my dogs, who all sensed the loss of these two loyal companions.
Though I understood, it was quite painful to hear from Patricia that Yhadzy and Garuda both didn’t wish to return for a bit, so, not wanting to loose these two precious identities, I asked her to keep tabs on them until they were ready to return to me.

They took about a year of “recovering” time before I got the happy news.
Apparently, the local vet had two Labradors in his practice that were up for Euthanasia due to the fact that their previous owners could no longer keep them now that they had a baby on the way, and they were unable to find a new home for them.
A blond male Lab and a black female Lab practically bounced into my arms when Patricia delivered them to me on an early morning little more than two years ago.
They were older than I’d expected, both well past a year, but recognition was instant the moment we were face to face.
The male was obviously Yhadzy, while the quieter black was Garuda (now Gadah) clearly visible in the very mature expression in her eyes.

It surprises me every time to see how my other dogs respond to “transferred” dog identities. I’ve had enough new dogs added to the large pack my family and I keep to recognize a clear contrast between a new character and an old one returning.
If the identity hasn’t been with us before, the pack will go towards the new arrival, en masse, following the poor new addition around for days until they’re finally used to the smell… as is common with the arrival of a new pet.
But it is quite different when an old identity is placed within a new dog. Yes, the dogs will still come forward for a sniff, but their interest is considerably shorter. A few hours at most and after that they loose interest completely and treat the addition as if it’s been here forever.

But back to Yhadzy and Gadah (Garuda).
My personal pack of nine accepted them without trouble. Except for Knight, my alpha male, who always had an attitude of mild forbearance to both dogs, none of my pack seemed to think that anything had changed. As a matter of fact, my other Bobtail, Bommel, was thrilled with Gadah’s return (Garuda and Bommel came from the same breeder, so they were probably brothers of a different litter and got along famously) and interacted with the “new” black Lab just as he’d always done with her predecessor.

Though, due to the fact that both Yhadzy and Gadah are older than is preferred for a “transfer” there are a lot of differences with their predecessors, in my opinion they’re good differences.
Gadah doesn’t have the emotional issues Garuda used to have. She’s very confident, composed, trusting, playful and always up for a rowdy game with the other dogs, while she still has that particular way of sitting down beside me and turning her head upwards to look me in the eyes… like Garuda used to do.
Yhadzy is quieter as a Lab now than he was as a Collie/Bobtail mix, not nervously or frantically inclined at all, which is a wonderful side effect that comes from the late “transfer” to an older dog, as well as the change of breed. But the affection is still there, and to me that is the most important thing.
They are happier now than they’ve ever been, a wonderful (re)addition to my group.

Our pets mean a lot to us. We are very attached to our six cats. With the help of Patricia Derks we were able to get three of our cats back in the past 15 years.
When Pluis, at the age of 17, died we managed, with the help of Ms. Derks, to find a new cat. The old Pluis was goodness incarnated; a pet that was cosy and kind and loyal, especially to me. She was always close to me. Enjoyed sitting in the attic. Sometimes she would play a game with me of running away and then looking back over her shoulder.
L. Pluis 1. R. Pluis 2.
With the help of Patricia we actually saw the new Pluis being born; it didn’t take long for her to appear like the old Pluis: I especially recognized her eyes; they gave me an instant feeling of familiarity. And then it became clear that she had the same characteristics and quirks, like running away and looking at me over her shoulder.
Shanti-cat died twice in that same time and returned twice. Her nature, too, I recognized and she seemed to recognize me as well. Typical for Shanti, 1, 2 and 3 was that when she felt a shortage of attention she would/will withdraw and become listless. And when she’s not in the mood and we’ll pet her on her back, she’ll sag through her legs. None of our other cats do this. Like with Pluis I recognized her in her eyes and behavior, also.
from l. to r. Shanti 1. 2. 3.
Generally speaking the appearances of the animal can be different along with a variety of characteristics, but the identity or nature of the animal is the same after a “transfer”

Alice Weatherly and family.
Cheshunt, UK.

My name is Alice. I am 40 years old and I am the proud owner of seven dogs.
I live with my two children just outside of London, and was referred to Ms Derks by a close friend of mine when one of my children’s dogs died several years ago.
My children were, as expected, heartbroken by the loss of their Golden Retriever who died without cause during the night, and they, more than anyone recognized the new pup as their Max from the moment I carried the two month old dog into their room. The most amazing part was that I hadn’t told them of the Pet-Transfer I had requested, but three days after the pup joined our family, Sally told me, “Mum, it’s Max! Do you see?” And I did. Like my kids I saw it then too.
Thanks to that most fortunate referral I was able to get my own dog, as well as two (now) of my children’s dogs back, so when I was asked to write this praise, I was very pleased to be able to help.
I have always been a fervent animal lover, and even as a child I would take home stray dogs in hopes of being allowed to keep them. I wasn’t of course, and for that very reason the first thing I did when I moved away from home was adopt a couple of dogs, and added to them as the years passed.
Cats are also a big part of my life, and thanks to Ms Derks my dearest feline, Brunswyck, was returned to me just a few months ago when one of my other cats threw a litter. Brunswyck fit into the only galico of the litter perfectly, and is growing into a perfect replica of the cat that has been a part of my life for the past fifteen years.
My cats always behaved like dogs, what with them having grown up amidst our rowdy bunch, and the new additions return to that behavior within short time.
Crescent II (my only male cat) beats it all and behaves like he's the alpha of all my pets, he always did and I have no doubt that he’ll be this again when he is returned to me the next time.
I did take care that with every “replacement” the new pet looked exactly, or a lot like its predecessor, which made the transfer a lot easier for my family and I. The previous feelings for the deceased pet switched towards the replacement pet seamlessly. The connection was almost instant for the animal and us both.
The funnyest part is that the other animals do not even notice the change on the most part, which amazes me time and again, because when I first started adopting dogs and cats, every time adjustments had to be made by my family as much as the new addition.
Last year the my youngest daughter’s Terrier died, and this time she was an active part in finding the new dog. We were at the pound, looking around with our camera in hand for the perfect replacement. Yes, Sophia was sad when Paddy died, but she also knew that in just a few days she would have him back as soon as she found a dog that she liked.
A bouncy crossbreed well under a year old drew her instant fancy. She took one look at him and said that she wanted him. That same evening we sent the picture to Ms Derks and got the assurance that the transfer was possible and even easy to achieve since Sophia had picked one that would fit Paddy’s character perfectly.
My daughters were thrilled when old Paddy’s character returned within just a few days, every time he’d do something they remembered so well, they’d be quite the cheering part. They are even keeping up a log of all the character traits that matched.
Yes, loosing a pet is still a sad event, but my family and I do know that this feeling is only temporary now that we have the opportunity to ask for the services of Pet-Transfer.

Yours truly,
Alice

Heijen, The Netherlands.

I am 72 years old and used to be a farmer. Since 1990 I am an avid dog lover. I have 4 dogs at this time. Two of my dogs have been with me for 2 lifetimes. The second transfer was done very recently. Pimmetje was a large Boxer that died less than five weeks ago. Thanks to Patricia I found him, his new body, in a local dog shelter.
Pim (the second) is a black cocker setter mix aged about 8 months.
The first thing I noticed (I am not a sensitive person, never been, I’m a rational person) was that when driving home from the shelter Pim didn’t know who his new boss was going to be. The transfer started when I arrived at my home, the new Pim turned to me instantly, picking me out of four strangers, and hasn’t left my side since.
Beforehand, I feared the moment that the old Pim would die; he had been suffering from severe epilepsy. But when I was later asked if the day on which old Pim died was a sad one, but oddly enough I had to admit that it hadn’t been. To me it felt as if he’d never been gone.
Because of Patricia’s services I am a very pleased dog owner. I know I will never have to say goodbye to my dogs again.

Jessie Reyes
Málaga, Spain

I have three Cocker Spaniels, two that were returned to me by Patricia, by helping me find new bodies for them.
With the two dogs there were a lot of things I noticed with the transfer to puppys.
The death of my dogs was short together, with the first I took a chance on Pet-Transfer but with the second time just a few months later I was looking forward to seeing my dog return.
I was sad both times and even the second time I was crying a lot even when I knew I could get her back and that the sadness would only last a short time.
Every time I loos a dog it feels horrible and it is a sad decision to have euthanasia on your dog when sickness will make its life bad. I do not want my friends that is what they are to me, to suffer at all but it hurts in my chest and I cannot stop crying. As soon as Patricia puts them in the new body, it becomes less.
Two times I found young dogs at a perrero that were under nine months and I was glad to find them.
Something changes the moment my dog is placed in the second one. The dog from the shelter looks at me with eyes that know me, like I know them and I recognize them. It happens in just a few hours. There is familiar and gratitude because they are happy to be with me. It is a very deep feeling. Very strong.
Both my return Cockers behaved like the old ones in just a few days. They go to sleep in the same place. They are the same.
I am very sensitive and this is an experience for sensitive.
Thoughts disagree with my senses but the proof is very clear and undeniable for me because my being sad disappears.
When I was young I lost a dog before and then I was sad for a long time, hurt also, and that stayed for so long.
I am very happy to know Patricia because now I will never have to feel that way again.

Ananda

I got my dog Thorgal when I was a teenager. He was a shepherd I got as a pup, and grew up to be a big and strong dog. When he got older I asked Patricia to connect his identity with a young white Canadian Shepherd, so when he died he would easily switch to Thor (the white shepherd). Thor was a shy dog, his character too much formed and damaged by spending the first year of his life in a cage, so when my Thorgal died in his sleep, without illness playing a part, the transfer wasn’t as good as I’d wanted it to be. I could see some things of old Thorgal in the new, but very little because new Thor’s character was already too developed by the time I’d adopted him. Also, I found that Thor had a bad health because of wrong breeding, and it made him become very ill just four years after the transfer had been made. This time I waited until Thor died and asked Patricia to hold on to him until I had found a new pup in which I knew Thorgal would be happy again. I found a 6-8 week old Golden Retriever pup with big paws and square face. The transfer was very good this time. I could see my old Thorgal settle in the pup in a couple of days and it pleased me to see his old confidence return. He is a big dog now. Very stable like the old Thorgal was, watching wilder dogs play with little interest as he does his own things with pleasure. I now know that I have to choose my pets more carefully. Make sure that they are well because I could see that Thorgal had not been happy as the white shepherd.

Human "transfer" question

Patriciaderks — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:39:51 CST

Since I had not expected this question while the FAQ list was put together, and then suddenly received it just recently, I decided to have an entire separate section for this one particular subject.

Q. "Is it possible to do a “transfer” with the soul or identity of a human?"

A. Technically it would be possible, but there are several pertinent reasons that have made me decide to not go along this particular path. One of which involves the ethical question of doing such a thing.
Here follow a few points about what the difference between a human and an animal “transfer” are.

1st are the legalities. To achieve a transfer the body, which is filed, acknowledged and considered to be the whole of what makes up a person, will be gone and replaced by a different body. Legally the “new” body would be someone else, and since that body is hosted by its own identity with its own wants and needs, it creates a whole different set of problems for both host and transferred identity.

2nd point is Karma. Unlike animals who do not possess this particular learning process that is passed on from one incarnation to the next, it is not something that would allow for a transfer of an identity. No matter if an identity is transferred, the karma will stay and mix with that of the identity already residing in the host.

3rd is the complexity of the human identity/soul/character. While animals return to the universal spirit from which they sprung in the first place, humans stay separate entities so different laws apply.

4th point is where the identity should be placed. Unlike a pet one can hardly go out and acquire a baby or some unsuspecting person from the street, so this also negates the possibility.

Due to these main reasons, and a variety of small ones, transferring humans is not a service that I offer.

Here follow a few useful links that will bring you to websites where you can check out different breeds that would suit your needs best.
Remember, your new pet doesn't need to be an exact replica unless you really want it to.

FAQ

Patriciaderks — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:55:41 CDT

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this like cloning? Are you offering puppies you breed?

A: No. This is a “transfer” of the identity (soul) of your pet, you will find the “body” of the animal you wish to have from the location you feel comfortable with, and then I will place the essence of your pet inside the pup/young dog of your choice, after which it will combine and integrate with the identity of your new pet.

Q: Is this like Reincarnation?

A: No. This is nothing like reincarnation. This is going on with life without interruption but with a new healthy body, in most cases.

Q: Can you only “transfer” dogs?

A: No. Though with dogs the “transfer” is easiest, due to the fact that a dog is very attached to its master/owner. I can do cats as well, though there are more requirements to be met. The same goes for horses. Any other pets, depends on your connection and the pet’s affection towards you.

Q: What is done during a “transfer”?

A: I place the old character within the new body so that it will mix with the essence of the new dog. I prevent the “soul” from entering the universal soul of animals, and hold it until a new body is present.

Q: What do I need to do to get a “transfer”?

A: First you fill in the form, just copy and paste it and fill in the required areas and send it to me.
I will evaluate your request and if it is possible (time-wise, the pet’s willingness, etc) send me a check, or cash after which I will place the identity of the pet into the body of your choice.

Q: How much time do I have to request a “transfer” of my pet?

A: Ideally within 3 days, but it is possible up to 3 months. The more time passes, the harder it will be for me to locate the identity. A word of caution: With the passage of time the identity fades gradually, so the more time goes by the less chance you have of getting an exact return.

Q: Do I contact you before or after my pet dies?

A: Ideally you contact me before your pet dies, but it is possible to do it afterwards, preferably within 3 months.

Q: My pet died last year. Can I still get it back?

A: It completely depends on pet and/or owner. It is MUCH harder, though, and it will take me a lot of time. If the pet is still close to the owner, it is possible. Make a query to check.

Q: What kind of animals can you “transfer”?

A: Dogs, cats, pigs and horses have all been done successful. It will depend on your connection to the pet so query to make sure.

Q: How much time does it take to make the “transfer”?

A: After the form has been sent, the payment has been received and a new pet is acquired, it will take approximately three hours for the “transfer” to be completed.

Q: Does my pet need to be of the same breed to do a “transfer”?

A: Ideally, for the “transfer” to be most noticeable to the owner, yes. It is not a prerequisite, though. Since particular breeds have different character traits, this will affect your pet’s behavior. Genetics do play a big part in the identity.

Q: My pet is ill/dying, is it possible to do a “transfer” before my pet passes?

A: In a way, yes. Let me explain. When you buy/find a new pet while your old one is still alive, a connection between the two pets is created so that when your pet passes the “transfer” will be easier. I actually prefer this way since it is less invasive for your dying pet, who will not notice the “transfer” at all through this process. It will not feel the anxiety/fear/sadness because it won’t feel as if it’s leaving you in grief.

Q: Can a “transfer” be done at any time, whether my pet is alive or dead?

A: Not in the way you mean. A connection can be made to another pet while the animal is ill/dying, so the change will be more gradual. This connection can be with a new pet, a sibling, the pet with which your dog/cat was closest. Then, when your old pet has passed, it will settle in the animal to which it was connected without ever leaving you.

Q: How old must my new pet be?

A: It works best with pups up to 8 months at most, but the “transfer” will always succeed, whether you notice it or not. It will depend on your old dog as much as the new one.

Q: What happens if the new pet I found is older than 8 months

A: You have to take into account that the older the pup is, the more its identity has already formed. When I add your previous pet’s identity to an older dog, more of its own identity will be prominent and that will be the dominant part of your new pet.

Q: If my pet dies suddenly, without warning, will I still be able to get my pet back?

A: Yes, if you immediately find a picture of your pet and keep it with you while you contact me and fill in and send the form. Through this I will be able to find the essence of your pet and keep it in place until you have found a replacement.

Q: Will the new pet recognize me?

A: Yes, from the moment the “transfer” is made there will be recognition on both sides. It is still a gradual process though, as both of you have to adjust to the new situation.

Q: How long will it take for the new pet to behave like my old pet?

A: This is different for every pet. There are a variety of factors to take in account. Time passed, the affection/attachment between owner and pet, etc. It can be after a day or a couple of weeks depending how strong the pet’s identity is.

Q: Why does it cost so much?

A: Because it takes time and effort for me to find and do the actual “transfer”.

Q: I don’t really believe that this is possible, does that matter?

A: No it doesn’t. It would make the entire event less sad and stressful for you personally, but it does not affect the process.

Q: I do believe, sort of, will it still work if I feel this way?

A: Yes, don’t worry. This method does not rely on a belief system.

Q: Do I need to be spiritually inclined for this “transfer” to work?

A: No. This is not a technique based on spirituality this is a “transfer” of the essence of an identity.

Q: Do I need to do ANYTHING for this “transfer” to work?

A: Other than filling out the form, sending it and making a payment… NO!

Q: Will my puppy/young dog be instantly house trained?

A: No. It is still a puppy/young dog that needs to learn the way of things. It will learn to be housetrained faster than the average dog.

Q: Will my puppy/young dog respond to its name?

A: Experience with former “transfers” have shown and average of 1-3 days for the new pet to respond to its name.

Q: Can I give my pet a new name?

A: Of course you can, but for the pet and you it will be easier if you stick with the old name.

Q: Does an animal notice that it’s dying?

A: Yes. The bigger the personality/identity the more awareness the pet has.

Q: Is the dog aware of the “transfer”?

A: Yes. Experiences in the past have shown me that the pet goes through the “transfer” with a pleasant feeling. The sooner it done, the less invasive it is, but NEVER unpleasant. There is comfort for the pet that he does not leave its master/owner.

Q: Can you return all pets, always, no matter what, as long as it is within the time limit?

A: There are several factors involved in this. 1st and most importantly: If the pet WANTS to stay with you. And 2nd the time that has passed since death occurred.

Q: If my pet doesn’t want to return to me, what happens to “it”?

A: When a dog/cat/animal dies it will be washed clean within a universal spirit, so to speak. The character/identity will disappear in time until only a clear essence remains.

Q: How different will my “new” dog be?

A: It varies, of course. If you had a Boxer and replaced it with a Chihuahua, the differences will be substantial, naturally. If it is the same breed, and ideally of the same parents, siblings or young, in time you probably won’t even notice the difference.

Q: Will I be able to recognize my old dog in the new one?

A: If you are close to your dog, yes you will. You will see it in the eyes almost from the moment the “transfer” is made, and you will recognize your pet’s appreciation of still being with you. If you were a good pet owner there will even be gratitude and happiness within the pet’s behavior.

Q: Will I get a discount the next time my dog needs a “transfer”?

A: Yes, because with every return the character of your pet will become more clear and firm, which enables me to find and hold them for you much easier than the first time.

Q: Can my dog return to me every time for the rest of my life?

A: Yes, and the character will be stronger with every return.

Q: Will the return change my dog?

A: Yes (depending on how different the breed) but I’ve found that it is a positive change. The pet will be more confident with the assurance that it will stay with you indefinitely.

Q: How does it feel for my dog?

A: According to the many pets that have been “transferred” over the years, it feels like a gentle caress, a soothing state of mind followed by a sense of excitement for when the pet’s identity has adjusted to the new body your old pet’s identity will find pleasure in being young again.

Q: Isn’t it mean to place my dog’s identity into another dog? What happens with the other dog’s identity?

A: No. The other identity isn’t thrown out, but integrated within the identity of your old pet. They will form symbiosis until they become one. The younger the new pet, the more prominent your old pet’s identity will be.

Q: Isn’t this unnatural?

A: No. I work within the laws of nature when it concerns the “transfer” of an animal. If it were unnatural I would not offer this particular service to anyone.

Q: Does a dog mind dying?

A: Yes. The pet doesn’t want to leave its master/owner any more than the owner/master wants to loose the pet.

Q: Is there anything I should do after the “transfer” is made?

A: It is advisable that within a few hours of the “transfer” you resume the interaction with the new pet in the same fashion as with your old pet.

Q: What are the costs for a “transfer”?

A: 100 Euros.
150 US Dollars
80 British Pounds

Q: What kind of payments do you accept?

A: For now only cash or check.

Q: How do I know if it worked, and if it didn’t do I get my money back?

A: It always works! So no, a refund isn’t something I need to offer in this particular service. Whether you notice it will depend, once more, on your connection with your pet and the animal in which it is placed.

Q: My old dog was a handful and I’m too old/have a bad health to deal with that again, what can I do about that?

A: I would recommend picking a different breed, quieter, smaller, one that will fit your situation. The change in breed will always have an effect on the identity of your pet, but the character will still be the dog that you’ve loved for all those years.

Q: My old dog was overly timid and scared, what can I do about that?

A: Perhaps you do not have to do anything. In all likelihood being a younger dog again and returning to you will alter your dog’s state of mind. Still, if you want to have a more active dog with more energy than it had before, a different breed might be the solution for you. Trust your instincts in what would suit you and the character of your pet most.

Q: I have two dogs one of which is very old, and I can’t afford to buy a new one at this time, what can I do?

A: I can, if you like, place your older/dying dog within the remaining pet, where it will stay permanently or until your situation changes and you are able to afford a new dog. The living dog will be the prominent character, but you will recognize small things of the one that has passed. There is no time limit to this solution so you can take your time in finding a perfect replacement.

Q: Does a “transfer” ever happen “just because”?

A: No. That would be reincarnation and that is something else entirely.

Renowned Spiritual Counselor Patricia Derks Reopens Her Practice.

23 October, 2008. Alhaurin el Grande, Spain

After more than twenty years of research, spiritual counselor P.M.G. Derks decides to turn a new leaf in favor of man’s best friend with “Pet-Transfer International”.

Having been an avid animal lover since early childhood Ms Derks spent the majority of the past fifteen years to fine-tune a perfect technique that would enable the true animal lover to never loose a beloved Pet again.

Multiple “Transfers” of the soul identity of dogs, cats, horses and pigs alike, have paid off, allowing for the creation of an incredible technique that does not require belief, or even actual knowledge about what is done when a “transfer” is requested.

Ms. Derks decided to apply and nourish her talent as an animal guide for the specific reason of her children, who were heartbroken every time one of their pets passed, and succeeded in ways no one could ever have imagined.
Those who requested, and received a pet transfer have said that with this identity transfer the feeling of loss is limited to the outward appearances of the old pet, and last for a short amount of time only. The identity, the presence of the pet returns within hours due to this technique.

Through numerous sources, pet lovers who approached her with the request of the return of their pet Ms. Derks decided to offer her talent to people who don’t wish to say goodbye to their pet at long last, with “Pet-Transfer International”.

“What is a Pet-Transfer?”

A pet transfer involves little more than the transference of the identity, the characteristics, or what some would call the soul of the deceased pet into a new one.
It does not require more than a new pet of the owner’s choice. Whether the pet comes from a breeder, an animal shelter, or personal adds doesn’t matter. There are no rules except that ideally the animal is under 8 months. For more information and details go to: http://pettransfer.wetpaints.com

The technique is not location bound and works globally. Nor does it need personal contact with Ms. Derks. A simple filled in form with pictures of the animals and an address with which the pet is familiar is all that is required for Ms. Derks to complete a “transfer”.
