87 pets made new friends and found happiness this past week!

Sweet Shyla went home during our adoption special this weekend!

Shyla is a bundle of joy with a wagging tail that never seems to stop. From the moment she wakes up in the morning, she’s ready to take on the world with her playful spirit!

Shyla was one of our volunteer approved and petcation approved dogs here at the Center! Shyla was always going out on adventures with new buddies and was patiently waiting for someone to have a lifelong adventure with. Saturday that finally happened! Her new mom came in and wanted to know all about her. They instantly connected (we had no doubts there) and the rest is history.

Shyla, now known as Ms. Sasaphronie, is living her dream with new toys all her own, a new home, and most importantly a new family. We are so excited for them and this new journey together.

Thank you to everyone who adopted this past week! We would like to thank Melissa Anderson for sponsoring Shyla’s adoption fee, also a big thank you to Bank of the James for being this month’s adoption banner sponsor!

Homer hit a home run! 36 other pets also found happiness this week!

Homer was brought into our care as a lost pet by a community member with a few health concerns. Our medical team went to work and got Homer feeling 100% again. The staff quickly found out that Homer was quite the cuddle bug. He loves pets, and sitting in laps any chance he can get.

On Friday a couple came in looking for a new addition to add to their family and spotted Homer. Well Homer hit it out of the park and it didn’t take them long to fall in love with his charming personality. We are so happy for them and their new journey together.

Thank you to everyone who adopted this past week and gave so many pets new homes. Also, a big thank you to Bank of the James for being this month’s adoption banner sponsor!

Adventurer Amity and 40 other pets found happiness this week!

Sweet Amity was one of our Volunteer approved and Petcation approved dog walks, which means she made MANY friends while being in our care.

She got to go on Petcations with those friends and visit all kinds of new places. She made her way to the Peaks of Otter in Bedford on one of those many adventures.

Amity also got to be featured in “Fido’s day off” with Beacon Credit Union. (You should check out the video if you haven’t seen it yet from their social media!) The spotlight from that video and her constant outings brought her new attention to the Center and she was finally adopted! We are so excited for Amity and her new mom and all the adventures she will get to continue to go on.

We want to thank all the adopters that came in this past week and gave so many sweet pets new homes. Check out who also found homes below!

Long stay Kiki found happiness, and so did 64 other pets this week!

Our girl Kiki came into our care in May of 2022 with a litter of four kittens. It didn’t take long for those kittens to get adopted as soon as they became available, but with Kiki’s timid personality and love of all things not human, she had a harder time making connections.

Two weeks ago, someone came in wanting to adopt a “working cat” to help with rodents and all those unwanted critters that show up. One of our staff members suggested Kiki to her, and she said she needed to talk to her spouse since they had two dogs at home. Well sure enough she came back so excited and adopted Kiki! Kiki is now going to have all the space that she needs, and her new mom finally gets a cat! (One that isn’t too high maintenance but still will come around when she feels like it.)

We want to say thank you to Kiki’s adopter and thank you to everyone who adopted this past week and gave so many pets new homes. Thank you as well to Piedmont Floor Show for being this month’s adoption banner sponsor!
