Avery

I just wanted to reach out to say thank you, as I adopted a dog from you just over 12 years ago. I had to let her go as she had cancer and her health declined rapidly. The silver lining is that she got 12 years of love and happy times after her rough start. I found her listing from years ago and figured it might be nice for folks there to hear the happy ending for one of their own. There are photos below of her posting and one from her later days.

She has been my best friend for many years and was given all the love and affection she deserved. We had a wonderful run. Again, thank you for helping me connect with my sweet girl. I appreciate everything you do to find happy homes for these animals. I hope this will inspire folks to give more of these animals the home they deserve. We had a LOT of good times.                                                                                                                                                                                                     -Evan

 

Fisher and Lucy

Fisher (formerly Drako) spends most all his day looking for a lap or a patch of sunlight to cuddle up on. Lucy (formerly Hermione) mostly sprawls on the floor and plays with our dog Sunshine. They are both so good with our eight-month-old! Lucy is very careful to always use soft paws with him. It’s clear that they were treated kindly and socialized well during their stay with you guys. They are two of the best cats I’ve ever had! We are so happy to have them!                                                 -The Adams

Smoky

     

Smoky (formerly Neptune) is so happy with his new family!!  He is quite busy playing with his new friends and going on adventures, which requires a nap every now and then.

Walnut

Walnut finally gets a home. This is a happy ending story for Walnut. He was in bad shape with his tail frozen from living out in the extreme cold. After many vet appointments, he lost a piece of his tail due to infection. He was a very sick kitty that fought back and never lost his desire of being held and loved by people coming into the shelter. Walnut was always overlooked because of his disfigured appearance… until it was total love when his new family met him. Now Walnut travels with his new mom in his own backpack!

Kimber

It has been 7 years since we adopted an 18-month-old dog from you. I wanted to let you know that not only has Kimber (a male boxer/Rottweiler type mix) been a great family dog all these years, but he is now the BEST dog to have as we have entered dog fostering ourselves in the state of Arkansas where we moved to. Kimber has welcomed, played with, shared toys and beds and attention to 14 fosters ranging in age from 7 weeks to adult. He is the playful uncle who also teaches housetraining, leash walking, house manners to the fosters so that they have all gone on to adoptive homes having a great start in life, Dog rescuing and support is such hard work, I see that firsthand with the shelter I volunteer for. I want your staff to know that through your agency, through Kimber, more dogs have been helped. Your impact is far reaching I am sure of that.

Lucky’s Place Alumni

We are so thankful for our Lucky’s Place adoptees: Red Fox (formerly Angel, a kitten with a badly broken leg that we adopted 14 years ago), and Gnocchi (Oakley) & Mabel (Maple), our 4-year-old Akbash siblings.

Grateful for all that you do for the animals!

Lucky

“Lucky loves a good belly rub. She is doing great and not fence fighting anymore. We love her so much!”

Lucky lived at our shelter for over 3 years before she finally found her forever family. There is always someone out there for each and every one of these pets. Some times it just takes a while to find them.

Clyde

Clyde was adopted recently. He enjoyed spending Thanksgiving Day with his new family.  

“We love Clyde!”                          -Susan

Aspen

I adopted Aspen 12 years ago from your shelter.  She is doing very well and quite active for 12 + years.  I am sending you a recent photo.

Patch 

I thought I would send an update on Patch (formerly Skye), who is turning out to be a great dog. Loves his new bed and to lay right beside me when I’m reading or watching TV.  He is very affectionate and smart. As I suspected, we bonded in about 8-9 days. I think you would approve of my quiet ways with him and our peaceful home. We still have things to work on, but he is smart and picks up things very quickly.

Many thanks to you and your crew for all that you do. And for your help with Patch, particularly.  I hope all is well with you and the shelter. I suspect the hills are just spectacular about now.
