Happy adoption stories
Many of our adopters, volunteers, donors and friends send us stories and photos of the animals who give them so much joy. We dedicate this space to all of you whose lives have been changed by animals.

She is infinitely proud of her toilet stops and comes to find someone to clean up the litter tray after use immediately!
