You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘adopt don’t shop’ at some point in your life. It’s a stand alone statement that many feel requires no further explanation.

We have adopted all our dogs, and one cat, from the local Humane’s Society and they have added joy to our lives. Our recent adoption is a 7 yr old Chihuahua mix who was bred for profit and they used her until she could breed no more. She was depressed and despondent when we got her but after a year of love she has blossomed into such a happy dog. Love goes a long way!

Aww I love this! My younger chihuhua resuce, Frankie, came from a really abusive home and it took him about 6 or so months to trust us but now he is as happy as he can be which makes my heart happy every day! Thanks so much for reading and sharing your story! 🙂

🙂 Sometimes they just find you. We had a cat for a half hour today. It sneaked into the house as we left for a walk. Our adopted dog was shocked to find a hissing cat in the entry when we returned, but all ended well.

Haha that’s a great story! I have been toying with adopting a cat but I don’t think my 14 year old chihuahua would approve! 🙂

Earlier this year, we got a rescue cat from the animal shelter. He was a stray for 2 years and was found wandering the busy streets. This cat is super friendly and loving. He’s also cuddling with me as I type this! He also thinks he’s a dog and greets me at the front door! ♥️
