This week 66 cats, dogs, and a rabbit found homes! Last week Stanley was adopted from foster!

We missed Stanley’s story then, so we’re sharing it with you now!

Our boy Stanley was found outside in September of 2023 looking much different from the dog we know and love today. He was skinny, missing patches of fur, and terrified of people. He wouldn’t trust anyone, and it took us weeks to show him he was safe. Then, we finally got a leash on him and everything changed! He learned to trust, he learned to love and he learned to eat. He made so much progress and we got to see our special boy grow into a confident young dog.

We were no longer worried about him finding a home. Little did we know, he’d be going home with a very familiar face. Mary (now Avery) found happiness just 4 months ago and we shared a similar story then. Her dad brought her back for a friend, and they chose Stanley. We are so happy for the new family and wish Stanley the absolute best life.

Thank you Petco Love for making matches like these possible with your support.

Lux and 59 of her friends found happiness this week!

Lux came to us as a fearful, three-legged stray over a year ago. We do not know what her life outside was like or how she lost her leg, but she did not trust people. We categorized her as a barn cat or an indoor working cat who would rather be away from the company of people.

We learned quickly that Lux loved other cats. They seemed to help with her confidence, so we moved her into our porch room! She remained fearful of people for months to come but over time, she stopped hissing and stopped running away from staff. She soon started accepting chin scratches from staff members and started to learn that humans aren’t so bad.

Recently we decided to give Lux a chance in a more trafficked room, the living room. She quickly became friends with another living room cat named Hollis. When you walked into the room, you could always find the two of them together. Hollis gave Lux so much confidence! With the spotlight in the living room and some help from her friend, Lux got adopted over the weekend!

We are so happy for Lux and all of the pets who found happiness this weekend! Thank you to everyone who adopted and thank you so much to this month’s sponsor, Petco Love for their unwavering support.

C.C. found Happiness this weekend at our Petco adoption event!

Last weekend we partnered with Petco to host a $25 kitten adoption special. We took 16 kittens to Petco where all but 4 found homes in the 2 hours we elloted! One kitten we were worried may not be picked first, was C.C., and we weren’t the only ones. One little girl felt drawn to C.C., and it was because of her caring nature that he found his new family that day.

C.C. came to us in May as a lost kitten with a terrible upper respiratory infection. We were able to manage his cold, but the infection in his left eye was worsening and becoming painful. We made the decision to remove the infected eye through surgery. He recovered from surgery well in an amazing foster home and became available for adoption at the end of July. Once our adoption event rolled around, it was by chance that he was one of 16 chosen to go to the event, where he would find a family to call his own.

We are so excited for C.C.’s journey with his new family, who chose him over everyone else because they felt touched by his disability. After all, it’s our uniqueness that makes us deserving of love.

Thank you so much to everyone who opened their homes to 70 pets this week! And shout out Petco Love for being this month’s banner sponsor!
