We Love Happy Tails!

ZIGGY

He seems to be settling in and has really come out of his shell! He is very playful and loves playing with his brother Jagger (black and white) and sister Papaya (tan and white). It is so fun to watch them! He and Papaya are now best friends and even cuddle together.❤️ He also has been doing well meeting neighbor dogs and getting along with our cats (though he tries to chase them sometimes)! He has been a great listener and is picking up skills quickly. I was very surprised at how quickly he became comfortable with us and the

FINLEY

Everything is going great since the adoption!  Finley has really come out of his shell since we brought him home. He is such a sweet and energetic guy (but also likes a good lazy day on the couch lol) who also loves his treats and food! He loves to go and snuggle with all three of our children in their rooms. He loves all the attention he gets from the kids, my wife and me. He loves his puppy sister as well and tries to play with her. Though she doesn’t always have the energy to keep up with him,

PEPPERMINT KITTY

I just wanted to thank you for all you do! We adopted Peppermint Kitty from you about 1 month ago and I’m glad to report she is settling in so well and we all love her so much! My family and I came to your facility multiple times in search of our new family member. It took several visits, but my daughter instantly fell in love with Peppermint Kitty, and that was it. You are all amazing and do such important work, we appreciate you and thank you for bringing us our purrfect new addition!

BRUCE WAYNE

We are thankful and happy to have been able to adopt Brucie and bring him home. He is happy, too, and wags his tail a lot! He is such a good boy and a little love bug. He really enjoys being outside for walks (and running). His favorite way to greet us when we come home is by playing, wrestling, and receiving belly rubs. He’s done really well with bath time. He loves to cuddle and is also a couch potato when he’s not walking outside or playing. He’s found his voice and barks at people sometimes, but he’s also

Q-TIP

Q-Tip is doing great! He’s gained a pound and a half and has some noticeable muscle tone in his back legs. He can even jump up on the couch for cuddles now! We go for walks at Memorial Park, and he loves taking the lead and showing me the way! Thank you again for bringing us together!
