Sweet surprise for this little girl! Mom and dad had already met and been approved to adopt Rubble as a new family member and companion for their own rescued cattle dog mix.
To add some fun to the process, they didn’t tell their daughter what they’d done and took her to our facility on a day when we had one of our low-cost vaccine clinics. She thought they were there to get their dog’s vaccinations.
When Rubble was casually brought over by a volunteer, the little girl was smitten and shyly asked the volunteer what the puppy’s name was. The volunteer said “Rubble”. Then mom said, “But you can name him anything you want because he’s coming home with us!!!”
Happy tears flowed and Rubble is one lucky guy. Thank you for the fun adoption! Best wishes!

Breese found his forever home! And it comes complete with a Boxer sister too. Congratulations to the sweet fella (on left) and his new family! Thank you for adopting.

Having been at the Adoption Center numerous times, I had become somewhat attached to Lynn. We agreed to foster her through the Holidays but we failed miserably. Once home,…
I just wanted to post an update on two adorable kittens (Sonoma and Napa) I adopted in June. They are growing so quickly. They are now known as Morticia and Gomez. They are so much fun. A couple weeks after they came home, I was making iced coffee and accidentally dropped an ice cube on…
