We love our volunteers and adopters. So when a couple who volunteers with us adopted from us, we were over the moon!
Volunteers Jackie and Kenny help us wrangle, exercise and showcase our dogs at mobile adoption events. When you’re hands on with the dogs on a regular basis you get to know them well. Sometimes you can’t stop thinking about them and that’s what happened when Kenny and Jackie met Cledus. Cledus is a big baby who demands lots of attention. Shelter life is …hard for all animals but Jackie and Kenny felt especially bad when they had to send Cledus back to his cage at the end of the day.
Thanks to them, they found room in their home and hearts for one more dog and Cledus is now getting all the babying he wants!
Jackie sent pictures and this update:

I know it sounds weird, but after spending time with him and training him I felt like he chose me, honestly. After volunteering week after week I just fell in love with him. He’s such a good boy, and learns very quickly!! His favorite things to do are hike trails and be picked up! lol ”

Our Daughter, who worked part time at T&C, adopted a Terrier mix puppy from a litter that was born at the clinic. At the time our Daughter was living with us and eventually moved to a place of her own. We had gotten attached to Mia and asked that she remain with us. She did…
Saturday’s Dog Olympics were fun, and fruitful for Astro who got a home out of the deal! Thanks for everyone who came out to participate. We had some pooped volunteers and worn-out dog athletes afterward — it was all worthwhile. Congrats Astro! Thank you for adopting!
Brittany was looking to adopt a running buddy and while this short-legged Corgi/Jack Russell Terrier mix may not be able to take long strides he’s got drive and energy to spare, not to mention great looks! We wish them many magical miles together! Congrats Sparky! Thank you for adopting Brittany!
Hit by a car and taken to be put to sleep, Orion’s defied the odds several times already in his short life of 14 months! We took him in and nursed him back to health, though too much time had passed to mend his hurt back leg. Nothing extinguishes the light in this little guy’s…
