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:
“The first time I met Cledus ( now Chip) while volunteering, there was an instant connection. 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 ”

A very excited woman came in to meet Hamilton and Yale. She had intended on only adopting one kitten, but once she found out how much they loved each other, she couldn’t leave one behind. She couldn’t wait to get them home to spoil them with love and toys, but she stopped for a moment…

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…
