My daughter had been wanting to adopt a kitty for some time, as her brother and sister both have their own pets (a dog and a lizard). So, for Christmas, one of her gifts was a "kitty starter kit" with food, treats, litter box, etc. Shortly thereafter, we made our first trip to CAP. There weren't any kitties during that visit that would be a good fit (no one that got along with dogs), and so we left with lots of tears. The next day, we stopped in again, and saw the two sweetest babies, and immediately knew we had to have them both. We had to wait a couple days until they were spayed/neutered, but that gave us time to get fully prepared. They were quarantined to the office for a week until they healed from their surgery, but that resulted in the perfect introduction to our dog! They have fit into our family PERFECTLY, and we all could not love them more!
I moved from CAP to my forever home on Monday, Jan. 31. There I was met by my new "big brother" Cheeto who had been an only child. It took a few days for him to stop hissing at me but now we are best buddies. We sleep with our humans every night and we spend lots of time chasing each other up and down the stairs and across the house. I am very happy.
We adopted 2 bunnies and couldn't be happier. When we brought home Bentley and Moku they were not yet bonded. It took some time for them to warm up to each other but now they are inseparable :) It's nice to see them together and happy. We allow the bunnies to free roam and they love it! Bentley and Moku enjoy green leaf lettuce and cilantro. And really love blue berries :D We're happy to have them as part of our family and even more so that we got to adopt 2 bunnies that needed a good home.
I saw via Facebook the posting regarding 4 - 8 weeks old Maltese/Dachshund mix pups and immediately fell in love with Sir Bacon. I showed up at noon with Paperwork ready in hand. Luckily I was able to see/hold him and right then knew I was adopting!!! For a Puppy he had such a calm demeanor to him; that has since evolved to running/playing, but honestly he is always by your side as soon as you sit down. We have a 5yr old son that had been asking for a puppy since 3y.o. Bear has done fantastic with him; couple little growing pains as you would with a puppy. Overall, he is so smart though... Potty Trained, Fetches, Sits & Shakes on Command. At only 5(ish) months old, I'd say he's doing great! WE JUST LOVE HIM TO PIECES!
This beautiful girl was only surrendered a couple of days before we found her at CAP. We cannot be more thrilled that she is in our lives. From the moment I saw her I felt a strong connection. She is everything we want and more! She is loved and spoiled. The sweetest and cuddliest dog you will ever know. Thank you CAP for being a safe haven for these precious animals who need to find their forever homes.
We adopted Princess (Clove) 2 months ago. She is our first pet and our family loves her so much! She is already part of the family and does so well with our kids. She's affectionate, silly, and love cuddles. I'm so happy we went to CAP for her. As soon as we walked in, I knew she was the one for us!
My boyfriend and I adopted Cooper last year and just celebrated his 2nd birthday. He brings so much joy to our lives and is an incredible addition to our family. Thank you so much to CAP for rescuing and caring for our baby.
We adopted Connor about 3 months ago so our other cat, Prince (also a recent rescue from CAP!), would have a brother to play with. We introduced them slowly and carefully, and they quickly became inseparable. They play, sleep, and groom together. Connor and Prince both seem so happy and I am so thankful to the staff at CAP for bringing these 2 lovely boys into my life.
After my husky passed away, the other dog of the family was a bit sad and lonely, so I decided it was time to bring a new companion to our home. After a few tries with several dogs, Duke was a perfect match. His calm personality and happy demeanor brought joy and happiness. He is a cuddler and loves chasing squirrels in the backyard. He has gotten along with every other dog he met, and he liked treats and will make a little dance each time he gets one offered. Thank you CAP for helping me find a suitable companion to my home.
We are in love with Rooster Cogburn, formerly Chimichanga. My husband and I visited CAPS on a Saturday and left without adopting, but returned the following day because we wanted to visit with one pup we noticed on the way out the day before. We took him home and he has become a beloved member of our family!!
