Happy Beginnings

 After adopting Flynn the cuddle bunny, I kept checking the CAP website and looking at dogs.

I knew all of them and their stories. Zoey appeared in mid February, an 8 year-old white lab mix and prior CAP adoptee. She

bore a striking resemblance to a dog that I had loved for many years. She looked very scared and sad in her pictures. I finally

checked with a volunteer who arranged for me to bring my first adoptee, Flynn, for a meet and greet at CAP. She came home

that day (thanks to some fast purchases of seat belt attachments from the gift shop) as a foster-to-adopt so that I could

ensure that she and Flynn could live together.

I adopted her the next week and she is a member of the family. She started as a timid dog and Flynn was great with her,

encouraging her to play and giving her space when she needed it. She is now the lead troublemaker and guard dog in the

house. She loves to play tug when Flynn brings her a rope toy. They are an unlikely pair and just what I needed.

Our 5 year old cat, Lulu was in mourning because her dog friend had just passed away. We decided that she would enjoy a

cat friend to romp around with and share meal times with. Little did we know, Tom (Colby) is exactly what we all needed.

He is loved by all, and I feel pretty certain he is living his best life!

We thank you for taking care of him until we found him.

We adopted Amelia almost 3 months ago and it has been the best three months! I knew she was the one the first time I saw

her on the website. She’s the most goofy, energetic, and cuddly little bug. We love her and continue to learn more about her

everyday.

Nova's human checked in to let us know she's the queen of the house!

 Rosie helped heal a huge hole in my heart after losing my 16 year old girl, Haley. I fell in love with her pictures and bio on the CAP website; but I was afraid to rush into adopting so soon. After stalking her bio page every day for a solid two weeks; I finally went to meet her! I knew it was meant to be when I turned in my application for her adoption just 30 seconds before another family did! Rosie came into my home like a wrecking ball, being the most energetic and goofiest dog that I have ever met! She is crazy intelligent, very sweet, and so freaking nosey! She is such a happy girl living her best life! We just celebrated her first birthday on 1/3/24! I couldn't imagine how dull my life would be without my sweet and crazy Rosie girl! Thanks CAP!!!

 Ivy, formerly Marble, is living her best life with 3 other sisters. She's the youngest and keeps the other girls on their toes. She loves boxes, the smaller, the better! She gallops throughout the house and loves treat time! She's taken over our king size bed and our hearts! She's the best and we love her so much!!

My daughter (who is 17) and I went to the shelter as we have been thinking about getting another dog after losing our Pomeranian to old age at 15 yrs. We decided we wanted dog my husband can run/bike with and just be more active with. Brought her home and we are in love. Thanks for giving us the perfect fit to our family we were looking for.

I went to CAP to get me a dog originally I wasn't looking for a puppy I was just looking for a companion bc I have seizures and mental health problems so it's hard sometimes. Well after asking one of the employees who I had talked to on a previous visit who he thought would be best for me he went into the puppy room and pulled this sweet but hyper lil girl who I fell in love with so quickly even though she was hyper she was everything to me I didn't have to second guess it. I never go for female dogs but I went in with an open mind and I'm so glad I did. Because now I have my best friend I ended up taking her home and we do everything together.
