Heart warming stories about pets and their people…
“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 was adopted recently. He enjoyed spending Thanksgiving Day with his new family.
“We love Clyde!” -Susan
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.

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.
We have had Lake about a year and dearly love him. He is now a true Illinois dog. Everyone that meets him asks where we got him, and we proudly say “at Lucky’s Place in Wyoming “.
We couldn’t have ever gotten a better dog. He even puts up with us dressing him up in his new Halloween outfit.
Thank you Lucky’s Place !

Fourteen years ago, I contacted you about a little lab aussie cross puppy that I was interested in adopting. I saw her on Petfinder I knew I had to meet her. I came to your house and when I saw her and held her, I was in love and knew she would be coming home with me. Her name is Molly, and she is the best and most
wonderful dog. I can’t tell you how much love and joy she has given me and I have given her. She even talks, saying “momma” “I love you” and lots of other huge conversations that I can only guess the meaning. Thank you for all the years of love from the special girl you saved! -Margie
We adopted Trapper on March 24th. She is finally starting to become more comfortable here. I feel she still has a long way to go, but we are making progress. -Holly
Toby (right) was at the shelter for over a year before he finally found his forever family in August 2022. They drove over three hours one way to meet Toby and introduce him to their dog, Zuri. It was love at first sight! Toby went home with them that very same day.
Toby’s family loves him with all of their heart. Toby and his sister, Zuri, love to cuddle with each other. He has lots of new canine friends and goes on lots of walks. He recently went camping with his family to Montana where he made friends with horses, a bunny, a kitty, and two more dogs.
“We made the trip to Thayne to meet him. We saw how happy he and Zuri were to walk together and how fast he attached to my husband. He came home with us and the second day he was here, he knew he was home. He fits right into our family. He makes us laugh every day. He reminds us a great day is waking up with joy each morning, a walk with the pack is the best thing ever, to have fun each day and to live in the moment. We are thankful we found our Toby. He loves with his whole heart and spreads happiness to everyone he sees.”
Over Memorial Day weekend of this year, one of our volunteers was on a road trip where she had the chance to stop and visit Toby at his new home. She was one of Toby’s regular dog walkers at the shelter, and he seemed to remember that.
Toby was very excited to see her, and she was so happy to see Toby thriving with his new family. He had lots of hugs and kisses for her.
Looks like Toby hit the jackpot, and we are thrilled to see him living his best life!
Creed is loving his life after adoption!
His new family adores him, including his fur brother, Scout!
We celebrated Chevys 1st Annual Gotcha Day in March!!
My sweet Chevy. You’ve been with us a whole year now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for you. You are the sweetest, funniest, most lovable girl.
I can’t even begin to imagine what your life was like before we found you but I swear you’ll never have another hard day in your life. I love you more than words!!!
Happy Gotcha Day my Angel!
