Meet Our Alumni!
Do you have a success story with our shelter that you'd like to share? Please send your pictures and stories to us!
Bear was adopted by one of our volunteers who reports that he is doing very well! Bear came to AP as an older gentleman, mostly deaf, partially blind, and with a matted coat - just the right (or wrong?!)formula for a broken heart. We quickly groomed his coat and showed him a lot of love and his spirits lifted. And then volunteer David saw him:
Hi, it's O'Neill, long time no see!
I just received the summer newsletter and came across the article "The Beauty of the Black Cat" and I completely agree with everything! I just adopted my black cat Marley from the shelter in February of this year.
On October 19, 1996 I adopted Benny (formerly known as Nick). I attached a current picture. It was my wedding day, but I just could not let him stay in the shelter one more day. Yes I was late to my own wedding. Benny turned out to be the best companion anyone could ask for. I was told he was found on the side of the road, and no one had claimed him. Lucky for me! He has been very devoted to his family of mom, dad, two human brothers and two canine brothers. Family members nick named him the wedding dog.
We adopted Chico (formerly Brody) in April 2008. We were told that he was roaming at large and had been at the shelter for a little while with no takers. The only explanation would be that he was waiting for us. He's been such a joy and so much fun. We lost our 14 year old dog, Stormy, who was also adopted from Animal Protectors in 2006 and decided to see if we were ready for another dog. Well ... Chico has been a perfect fit. He loves to play, give kisses, chase bunnies and sleep under the covers. He's always happy and he's made our house a home again. We couldn't love him anymore and I think the feeling is mutual. Thank you for bringing him into our lives.
Dear Animal Protectors:
Just to let you guys know that Phelon is doing very well. I adopted him about three and half years ago, and he is the best dog I have ever owned. He does great with my kids, even with the newborn he is very gentle.
We adopted Carson (now Colby) about a year and a half ago. He is such a sweet boy. He loves attention but is so mellow; he is content to just curl up beside us and be pet. Unfortunately, we found out shortly after adopting Colby that he suffers from seizures, but we now have his condition under control through medication and we don't regret adopting him at all. In fact, we can't imagine life without him. I would only get a dog through adoption and I recommend it to my friends as well. I don't know how anyone could have given Colby up, but I'm glad we got to take him home.
Here are some updated pictures of "Serene" (now Kimora) She has been such a good baby since we adopted her, she loves to cuddle every night! Everyone that meets her tells us she not your typical pit bull and has changed their minds about pit bulls! She loves to play with other dogs, she even went on a road trip to Atlanta and played with 3 other pit bulls! I will have to send pictures of all 4 of them together. She loves to go to the dog park and even gets in the water! I absolutely love her personality and couldn't image life without her :)
We adopted Sheba back 11 yrs. Ago, this past September. She was about 6 mos. Old and hands down the best dog anyone could ask for. She's our 3rd child and truly the most loving dog ever. When we adopted her, she was already house broken and knew the basics of being a very well behaved dog...for this we were beyond fortunate.
When I asked about Amarra at shelter her foster mom
told me she had been found one morning out side of
Animal protectors in the pouring rain, very pregnant.
This is Nico, (used to be Sunny) a scrawny,
not-very-pretty kitten with huge ears and a loud
mouth! However, he stole our hearts and is now a
beautiful, loving two year old with attitude,
affection and SO much personality. He rules the house,
and we let him! Thank you for giving us such a
wonderful addition to our family.
My name is Christina Strellec, and I am writing to
send you a picture of my cat
Salem...We've had him for almost a year now, and I
can't thank you enough for him!
At the shelter, his name was Magoo, I think. This is a
picture of him playing with
our dog Mickey...the two of them have turned out to be
the best of friends!!! Thanks again!
Here are 2 pictures of our new beauty.......We renamed
her 'Good Golly Miss Molly' or G.G. for
short............We cannot believe our luck with this
cat; she is very well behaved, loves to be brushed and
combed, doted over and pampered. She even rubs against
our 9 month old granddaughter while she was fussing
and doesn't mind her ears tugged on. We picked her up
from the shelter ( 60 miles one way ) after seeing her
on PetFinder.com on Saturday the 5th and by Sunday
evening she had taken over one arm of the sofa and the
end table nearest it. We believe that she is
convinced she is a queen and we are convinced we will
treat her as such. Thanks to everyone at the shelter
for taking good care of her and for being helpful and
kind to us.
Bridget was a dog that did not "show well" while at the shelter. Taking a chance and adopting a "pit bull" is something I am really glad that we did. Bridget is our first dog and we made a perfect choice. Bridget is loyal and anxious to please. She knows a ton of tricks, walks well, loves the water, gets along with our fourteen-year old cat, and sleeps with us every night. Going in the car for ice cream is one of her favorite things to do. Bridget appreciates everything and loves life.... and, we love her...
