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!!
We were looking for a feline friend for our cat, Panda. His best friend passed away about 2 years ago and we felt like we were ready for a new furry family member. We actually went to the shelter several times and ended up taking one kitten and two adults with health issues. Pumpkin was very shy and took the longest to get comfortable, but now, she is just as friendly and inquisitive as the others. We love our CAP pets so much! Thank you!
We lost our sweet rescue yorkie at 14 years old and after a year, we were ready to get our boy Trigger a friend. When went to CAP to just see if we were ready to get another. We noticed Gigi(former JJ) was an owner surrender, 6 years ikd, blind in one eye, and had some medical issues. She also was very vocal, but we also know that they are stressed out . We took her into the room with our kids and she immediately became a part of our family. She leaped into our laps and we decided then, she was coming home with us! After a couple days, it was as if she had been with us forever. We love her so much!
We wanted to add another rescue/adopted pet to our family. We had previously adopted a dog for years ago from CAPs as a therapy dog for our youngest. Someone for him to love and help take care of. That dog immediately was the sweetest most loyal addition to our family! Chloe immediately became a member of our family and we love her dearly. However, recently since Covid and us spending a lot more time at home we noticed that with the restrictions uplifted and us returning back to her daily activities work/and kids in school that Chloe seemed lonely, therefore we decided to add another member to our family. We went to CAPS walked in and my children immediately fell in love with Charlie. Since the day we picked her up we have loved her like we’ve had her forever and she’s already a member of our family and fit right in! Chloe and Charlie have become The best of sisters and has helped Chloe be more active by having a younger sister puppy to entertain. Thank you to caps for all they do for the animal community!
