Happy Beginnings

 Our two brothers - one shy and one in your face kitty. They are both out of their shell now mingling with the dogs and running the house!  

    Lucy has made herself quite at home. We lost our big, sweet boy in September and even though we have two smaller dogs, the house just didn’t seem right without a big protector. I searched all rescues/shelters, but something about her just told me she was ours. My husband went up to meet her and brought her home the same day. We love our girl to pieces.

    We adopted Draco after losing our sweet rescue Bella a week or so before to sudden illness. She was only 11 years old and had been a part of our family since she was a young puppy. Even though we can’t replace her in our hearts, our house was too sad without a canine family member. I saw Draco on the CAP adoption page and went to see him the next day.

He was so wild when I visited with him at CAP! Crazy jumping, he scratched and bit me (those puppy teeth) until my arm was bleeding and peed all over the floor. I fell in love with him instantly and he came home with me that day.

Draco is 10 months old now and an established member of our family. He’s very smart and loves to train, super stubborn but he always listens eventually which is hilarious, loves to play chase and fetch and wrestle with our teenager. We got his DNA tested because we wanted to know what mix he is, and he’s 50% Siberian Husky, 34% American Pit Bull, and 16% American Bulldog. He definitely has the attitude and behaviors of a Husky, loves people and other dogs, and is a very very good boy. He knows sit, lay down, shake, come, go to bed, and is learning to walk on a leash and is completely housebroken. He doesn’t like to go in the pool but loves to be out in the rain and will dig into a muddy puddle whenever he gets the chance!

We love him so much and I can’t recommend adoption highly enough. All of our dogs and cats over the years have been adopted from local shelters and most from CAP. Thank you so much for all you do for the pets!

  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. 

  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.
