We adopted Miss Mae (formerly Bella) from the Homeless Pets Foundation in July 2012. She was only seven weeks old and had been left by herself in a box outside of a Wal-Mart before being turned in to Homeless Pets. Now almost two, Miss Mae is such an important part of our family and we can’t imagine our lives without her. She is the cutest girl and has such a big personality! She loves playing outside in the yard, loves going to doggy daycare and playing with her friends, and snuggles up with us in bed every night. She is great with kids, and we think she will be a wonderful big sister to our first (human) baby in a few weeks! We love her so much! Thank you, Homeless Pets! I have attached pictures of Miss Mae as a little puppy when we first adopted her and with us at our wedding last April. -Sarah Peters

Rita got a great home with this active animal-loving family. Rita caught their eye because of her resemblance to their dog who’d recently passed away. Rita passed…
After adopting Carmen, over the next month we fell in love with Trinity. Her long coat and markings were irresistible! We adopted her quickly! Once home SHE, re-established who was in charge with Carmen. They soon began chasing each other all over the house! Unfortunately for us, their “play time” at 3:00 in the morning! …
Levy (Darla) is doing great in her new home! Thank you for helping us find her. Picture is from our first hike together at Sweetwater Creek State Park (she had a blast!). -Jenna Krall
Raina got lucky! She was picked out of all the adoptable dogs in town to be a new family member of this happy lady, her hubby, their four kids and their cat! They’ve all welcomed this sweet girl into their home with open arms (we were a little worried about how the cat would feel…
