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!
Reese has become the best running and travel buddy. She has the most gentle nature, and is incredibly sweet to all the people she meets, and quickly befriended my cat. Her positive energy and cuddly personality make me laugh every day.
We adopted Nina just before the COVID epidemic struck the United States. We didn’t know how important Nina would be to us to help us through the ups and downs. She is our little fur baby and I am so happy to have met her through CAP!
We saw Cooper (Junior) on the website on July 30th. We drove over an hour first thing the next morning to get to the shelter before they opened because we thought he was the one for our family. After meeting him and spending some time with him that morning, we knew for sure he belonged with us. He is an amazingly smart dog and has been the greatest addition to our family. He is our son’s new best friend. We are so thankful to have him!

I went to look for a dog and I saw “Sugar”, she was 5 years old. I wasn’t sure if her because she had long legs. One of the volunteers told me I could take her for a walk, and I did. Then I returned her. Later that day, I came back to see her and she greeted me with a happy face and she spun of excitement. One thing I can say is that She choose me instead of me choosing her. Nala was a great dog and everyone’s friend. She was the sweetest, most loyal dog I’ve ever had. We had to put her down after being together for 11 years. She was 16-17 years at the time. I heart mourns, but I have the greatest memories of her. The first picture is her fist photo. The second picture is her last photo. She was a very loved dog. |  |

I fell in love with this wiggly little girl at first sight. As I walked through the room at CAP, I could hear her tail banging enthusiastically on the sides of her kennel, and when we took her outside for a meeting, she crawled right up in my lap to say hi. I signed the paperwork and took her home at once. It's been a month now and I haven't regretted it for a second - she has filled my house with curiosity and love and comedy. She's still learning how the sofa works, though :P |  |

Our loving puppy is very energetic. He is less than a year but jumps everywhere! Even at the worst times, he always finds a way to cheer us up.

Prince was the missing puzzle piece for our family. He is so funny, playful and loving; He especially loves napping in our laps! I feel truly lucky that he is a part of our lives now. Thank you CAP! |  |
