Fisher's
Story
This boy came
to the shelter in terrible condition. He was sullen and
depressed, and no one came looking for him. Something
about him, though, caught our attention. Although not spry and
interested, he was extremely polite and under all that grime
appeared to be a fairly young dog. We contacted a local
grooming
business, who
offered to bathe him and give him a
haircut to
help him find a new Forever Family. It took all of two hours
when an employee of the groomers called the shelter to ask what
it would take to adopt him! She said she was in love and would
be excited to offer him a place to call his own. She completed
the paperwork when she brought him back to show how well he
cleaned up. His new name is “Fisher,” and he is with his new
Forever Family!

 Bubula's
Story
Red-e came to the shelter as a
stray. He was thin, scared, and had teeth so infected it
was difficult to be in the same room with him. There was
something special about him, though. A local veterinarian
agreed to donate the necessary dental cleaning, neuter, and
ear cleaning so that he could be adopted. Several hours
later, he was returned to the shelter. They had to remove
all but two teeth due to infection. He finished his
medications and found his forever home about a week later.
Here is what his new owner had to say a few weeks after his
adoption:
I just
wanted to send an update on Red-e, now named Bubula (a
Yiddish term of endearment). He is such a sweetheart. He
is truly a velcro dog. He loves to sleep with his head
pressed to the side of my head where he can snore in my
ear. He enjoys rides in the car and is such a mellow laid
back guy. He has so much love to give and is thoroughly
enjoying the one on one attention. He came to work with me
and was a big hit. He wasn't to timid and would go up to
people to be petted. He is a great fit in my life and we
are best Buds. Thank you for letting me adopt him, I adore
him!

 Barney's
Story
When Barney
and his five brothers and sisters were abandoned on the doorstep
of Metro Animal Services, they were in heartbreaking condition

sheltering and caring for them, Metro Animal Services found each
puppy a loving Forever Family.

Sherbet's
Story
When she was a kitten, someone stuffed Sherbet into a bag with
her brothers and sisters and threw the bag out a car window.
Many of the kittens did not survive this crushing fall, but
Sherbet did. She overcame this traumatic violence to be adopted
by a loving family who gave her a Forever Family. |
