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.

Smartest dog we've ever had, was...

Last year we added a baby to our family and it has been such a joy to see how Cocoa and our son Jake play so well together. Cocoa is so gentle and patient, even when the toddler p...

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. ...
