Adoption Stories
Whether your pet’s adoption was a decade ago, or last week, or anytime in between, we’d love to hear an update from you! It makes our day to hear stories of our alums thriving in their homes.
Happily ever after at home
The staff, volunteers and fosters here at AWS know that each animal’s stay with us is just a small chapter in their life’s journey. While our time together is brief, the pets we care for leave lasting memories. We relish the chance to read the stories showcasing our alumni in the next chapters of their lives. Thank you for sharing your pet’s happily ever story after with us. It means the world to us to know our former residents thriving together with their new families.
These adoption stories and photos warm our hearts and our souls.
Thank you!

Dreamcatcher now Swirl
Swirl is doing so well! At AWS, she would only let my son pet her, and it just makes sense that she was for his birthday. Now, she will never come out of his room unless you take her out. She has also gained so much weight! We probably will have to put her on a diet, but she’s doing just fine right now. She has also came out and been more open to the rest of us, but she still immediately purrs when my son pets her, but you may have to wait hours for her to purr with…

Willow now Fannie Fae, a.k.a. Patty Cakes
We adopted Fae a little over a year ago. She is so happy in her new home ❤️. She loves us, and she has really warmed up to her puggle brother, Chance. She is a professional biscuit maker; sometimes sessions last up to 20 mins. We love her! Thank you so much ❤️

Instacart now Binx
I fell in love with this little shy kitten over a photo. When I got to meet her, I fell even more in love. It was saddening to hear that she was antisocial and that her ear was clipped, as she had the potential to be a barn cat, not a house pet. When I brought her home 2 days ago, she hid and did not want to be touched. Now, 2 days later, she follows me around the house and is attached to my hip. I am so happy to be given the trust and love from her ❤️…

Willowpelt and Tigerstar now Luis and Phinn
Luis and Phinn previously Willowpelt and Tigerstar were adopted from AWS in July of 2023. We went in planning to adopt just one kitten but fell in love with both. They love the cuddle with each other, but also with our dogs! It took a little bit to figure out who is who, but now their own personalities shine and it couldn’t be easier. They’re the perfect addition to our family!

Tank now Luca
A little update on our sweet Luca (formerly Tank) Adopting him was truly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. He’s the biggest love bug and has completely stolen our hearts. He loves his snuggles, his toys, car rides, trails, and of course, admiring himself in the mirror Luca loves his mommy and daddy equally, has settled in so well, he also loves his doggie uncle, and absolutely loves having a big backyard to run around in. His favorite thing might just be wrestling with his dad, though! He has the biggest heart and has brought so much love…
