Wizard and 32 of his friends found happiness this week!
As you know, our brave, three-legged friend Wizard has been through a lot. But even after being hit by a car things quickly started looking up for him the moment he arrived at LHS. He was battered and bruised but we jumped into action and nursed him back to health.
He was available for adoption for a while with little interest. Then a few weeks ago a family was touched by his story and was moved to sponsor his adoption fee (Thank you Moody Family).
Finally, the day after Thanksgiving, his long journey led him to his new family. They were so smitten with his charm and loving personality they didn’t even realize he was missing a leg! And wouldn’t you know it, so was his new dad!
Stories like these are so special and it just goes to show, some things are meant to be.
Thank you to Wizard’s new family for embarrassing him and thank you to our wonderful sponsors at Terry Subaru for being so instrumental in helping pets like Wizard!

Cherry Blossom and 40 of her friends found happiness this week!
Cherry Blossom came into our care back in March of this year. It didn’t take long for the staff here at the Center to fall in love with her sweet and sassy personality.
Always the first to greet you when you entered the room, wanting nothing but your time and attention. She loved showing off for everyone.
Tuesday, all of that showing off finally paid off and Cherry Blossom found her match! We are so excited for her and her new family. Thank you to everyone who came in and adopted! Also thank you to Terry Subaru for being our banner sponsor.
Juice and 52 of her friends found happiness this week!
Written by Ashley Douglas
They tell you how great fostering is, but you don’t really know until you do it. Juice was the first foster kitten that I brought home, and boy did we fall in love with her. We watched her grow, learn, play, and cause mischief with our four cats. She LOVED our cats, especially her best friend Malley. You could always catch the two of them getting into something together.
When it was finally time for Juice to graduate, I cried, big girl tears. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but knew it was time for her to find her very own family. While she waited Juice got to come to events, like Pawcasso, where she made some friends. She would also get snuggles from everyone who came into her room (which I did every day.)
Sunday, I was packing up things from the Fall Fest, and headed down the hallway when I saw this couple and one of our staff members walking out of the room with Juice and my heart got so happy. Her day had finally come! They were adopting her and making her part of their family. I got to say goodbye to my first foster kitten (now on number four) and watch her leave with her new wonderful parents. I’m so happy for them and this new adventure together.
If you are ever considering fostering, do it! It’s worth every moment.

Panini and 55 other pets found happiness this week!
Sweet Panini came into our care back in September as a lost pet. It didn’t take our staff long to fall in love with her cuddle bug, loving personality. She even made herself onto our volunteer walk list as well as one of our petcation approved pets! Panini had so many friends at the Center for pets, between staff and volunteers. Her favorite part of the day was her walks with her human friends, she couldn’t get enough of us either.
On Friday, Panini found her match! A wonderful lady came in just to visit and ended up leaving with Panini. We are so excited for them and this new adventure together.
We want to say thank you to everyone who adopted this past week, giving so many wonderful pets homes!

Pets that were adopted October 31st through November 6th.
You probably know Zander if follow along on social media or visit us at the Center for Pets. We first met him here at the Center for Pets in February 2021 after he was transferred as an at-risk pet from a shelter in North Carolina. Zander hasn’t spent all of these two-plus years in the shelter, he’s had breaks in foster, and even has been adopted, but none were quite the right fit for him.
I knew Zander for a long time, but I didn’t become close friends with him until a few months ago. I had heard from my coworkers that Zander was declining. This looks different for every dog but for Zander, he actually got quieter and wasn’t showing excitement or joy for much of anything. If you walked by his kennel, he would seem like a very polite, shy, dog but we knew that he wasn’t doing well.
I started bringing Zander to my office most days. He was a little nervous at first but, he was immediately able to take many deep, long naps that just weren’t possible in the loud kennel area. Everyone who passed by got a giggle out of his sploots and how he liked to pass out half-on and half-off the dog bed (which was plenty big to fit all of him I might add).
After about a week, Zander became a different dog. After he was able to trust me, we became fast friends. He was often seen squirming his way into my lap and pushing my hands away from the keyboard to give him attention. He also started playing with toys for the first time in a long time and we discovered that he loves to shred up cardboard boxes. (check out the cute video here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1021813992175876?mibextid=kcDB8O)
We started to feature Zander and his personality that blossomed through these consistent breaks from the stressful kennel area. One day, a nice man came into the Center for Pets who heard about Zander and saw one of the videos we made. He knew that Zander needed a family and he had been wanting a companion. After a few meet and greets, Zander and his new dad built the strongest bond we’ve seen with Zander and an adopter, and we decided together to go for it! Zander has been HOME since last weekend and was officially ADOPTED Friday.
Zander’s dad reports that he loves to cuddle with him on the couch, go on lots of walks and adventures, and spend as much time as possible glued to his side.
Thank you SO much to everyone who helped Zander find his happiness like Terry Subaru and CTA Consultants who sponsored his adoption.
