Millions of animals are taken to shelters every year. Although many of these animals
meet a grim fate because of the lack of adoptive families and overpopulation,
thousands of excited owners adopt pets each year. The joy an animal companion can
bring into one's home is immeasurable. Their unique personalities, quirky habits and
unconditional love have brought happiness to countless pet owners.
Every success story that results from an adoption breathes more life and compassion
into the community - and gives a homeless animal a nurturing home. If you have a
success story about an adoption or rescue, please add it here. Spread the message that
loving, homeless animals are waiting to become "success stories" of their own.
Kindred Spirits is a new radio program being developed about the
human-animal bond. Find out more about this show and learn how you
can share your success story on the air.

Stella |

Stella, originally Flippy, has been the best companion that I could ask for. I fell in love with her deep eyes as soon as I saw her. She had been abused in the past and required love and consistency. Stella has come out of her shell more than I could have imagined. She is certainly my best friend, and I fall in love with her more each day. ...

Oliver is the best dog you could ever ask for. He is great with our guests, our other dogs and the neighborhood children. We are so glad he chose to be a part of our lives!...

Ruby (formerly known as Rhonda) has brought so much joy to my life. She was very shy at first, but she has come out of her shell. She goes to daycare every day and we take long walks together. She is a very calm, loving girl. She used to shy away from strangers, but now she approaches them with her head up and her tail wagging expecting kind words and affection. I could not ask for a better friend!...

Greta and Gracie |
|
My husband and I were very sad after losing our 10 year old cat to kidney disease. I was so used to having a cat, I went out a week later and looked at the cats in PetsSmart. I noticed Gracie (original name Cosette) first. She was so cute and playful. Then, I saw this sweet, black cat in a cage below Cosette. We fell in love with both of them. They have given us so much love and entertainment in the past two years. Thank you!...

Keet |
|
I adopted my cat in early 2005. I believe her name at the shelter was Suzette but I renamed her Keet. She has been the most wonderful pet I've ever had and a joy to be around for the past 2 1/2 years. Every day spent with her is a gift and I thank you for the opportunity to adopt such a wonderful animal. ...
