Happily FurEver After

Mia

Toby

A

t the Upper Valley Humane Society, we envision a world in which every pet is loved. Oftentimes, we receive emails from families who have adopted from us, sharing how much they cherish their new companions. These stories brighten our days and remind us of our vision. They motivate us through some of the tougher times and help us continue to work hard to find loving homes for each animal that walks through our doors. We want to share some of these stories with you in hopes that they warm your heart.

“We adopted Mia (aka Charlie Bucket) in October 2020 and she has brought so much joy to our family. She is sweet and playful and make the cutest little chirping noise to get our attention. She is fitting in with her two older sisters nicely. Thank you for taking such great care of her and allowing us to welcome her home.”

“We adopted Toby in November 2020 and he’s doing great! No nervous adjustment or down time needed – just sweet, chill, go with the family flow. He’s super curious and adventurous. He has a cozy crate and lots of floor time in his bunny proofed room where we can all enjoy him running and playing! You do such important work; you have our sincere thanks and respect! Toby is a welcome addition to our family!”

Franklin

“Franklin (who we adopted this January) went to the vet today and is doing great! He has minor shell issues, but we are working on that. He is a very happy turtle and swims to us when we go near his tank. He also got a completely new setup. He is now in a 65 gallon breeder tank, so it’s wider and taller. He loves the deep water. He loves to bask in his new basking platform. It took him a while to get used to it, but he loves it now. Feeder fish are his favorite food. He loves to swim after them, chasing them all around!” 22 4 Legs & a Tail
