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.

Sutton |

We waited for years to get a dog. We were living in Rhode Island, where it was very difficult to find housing that accepted pups. So getting a puppy was one of the first things we planned on doing when we arrived in Bloomington. He was called Oscar at the shelter, but is now named Sutton (after an old drugstore we loved in Chapel Hill, NC) and he is doing great, is totally housetrained, destruction trained, and is the best stripey ol' mutt we ...

I had Dewey, now named Lucian for over 2 years, when I was a Junior at Indiana University. He is awesome and been apart of the family since I received him.

Chloe |

My husband lost our dog while hiking in Morgan Monroe State Forest. This amazing couple, Annette and Darryl found her while hiking. Our dog, Chloe, was very tired and didn't want to climb a hill to follow them...they didn't give up and finally coaxed her out of the ravine and to their car. They drove her to the MCHA and the MCHA didn't waste any time in contacting our Vet. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REUNITING US!!!...

Eliza |
|
I noticed quiet Eliza immediately at the shelter. She was a stray who had just had a litter of pups. She was the first dog I saw and her gentle personality won me over. While a little timid with me at first, in a very short time, she has completely come out of her shell. She's learned to sit and is my wake-up call in the morning with lots of kisses! We couldn't be happier!...
