BARK IN THE PARK EXCEEDS ALL GOALS!

Thank you to everyone who fundraised for the animals at the 35th Annual Bark In The Park at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park on Saturday, February 12th! It was a beautiful day and a fantastic time was had by all. Because of our sponsors, packs and individual fundraisers all goals for the animals were exceeded! The funds raised will provide much-needed food, medical care and shelter for homeless animals.

Animals

IZZY was adopted a year ago by a wonderful family. At that time she had severe lesions on her body from being mistreated by her previous owners. She had also been in three different shelters within two years. This precious girl, who’d been through so much, stole her new family’s and all of their friends’ hearts instantly. They recently celebrated both her birthday and “gotcha day” and sent us these pictures. The top picture was taken day on the day they adopted her and the bottom one shows her birthday and one-year “gotcha day” celebration.

Her family writes: “Thank you so much for bringing our greatest blessing into our home! We could not be any more grateful than we are for her!”

LUCY & WAYNE The Garrity family was interested in adopting Lucy, as she seemed to be a great match for their lifestyle. They loved her wide array of spots and patterns and wanted to know why she had been at the shelter for more than a month. As they learned that being older and having heartworms was a deterrent for some people, their hearts began to swell. They were smitten, but worried because she was nervous and withdrawn. We told them she’d come to the shelter with another heartworm positive dog, Wayne, and suggested bringing him to the yard. As soon as Wayne arrived, it was night and day. Lucy completely opened up and began to show affection to the Garritys. She was confident and secure with her friend by her side. From that moment on, their minds were made up, both pups (heartworms and all) would become Garritys and never be separated again.

PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY Meet Harper Cady!

She fell in love with Guinea pigs after seeing them at a pet supply store and had to have one of own. Her Dad helped her make a lemonade stand so she could save enough money to adopt one. Finally the day came when Harper had enough money, so her Dad brought her to the shelter. When she saw Brandon and Jon, it was love at first sight, and her Dad agreed to let her adopt them both! Harper could not contain her excitement to take them home and rename them Peanut Butter and Jelly. We just love happy endings and this sweet kiddo.
