Charlie

I visited AWS with my mom and her dog to go into the clinic. While there, I saw Charlie boy running around outside. For an old man, he had such a young soul. I immediately knew I needed to rescue…

Ivy and Fern

Here’s a photo of my foster fails during their floor time! Fern is still super jumpy when being picked up and Ivy still nips to get her way, but they are doing fantastic. They know when it is veggie time…

Shelly now Mary Shelly

Mary Shelly came into my life after I lost my Miles who I had for 14 years. Mary Shelly is very verbal, fun-loving, and smart. She gives great joy to my home and life. She may be a kindred old…

Abe

“I adopted Abe in February 2024. I was looking for a new dog for my family & saw his adorable/goofy pic on your shelter website. I was drawn to him instantly! My boyfriend and I went out the next morning…

Lana

Lana is an amazing dog and has been the light of me and my daughter’s life. She helped us through some tough times. She has a natural gift as she could always sense when my daughter was about to have…

Angel & Zeus

I went to AWS in search of a bird or two and fell in love with these parakeets! They are such a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you guys for helping me find them 😊

Jezebelle now Zora

Back in 2017, I was at the shelter when I saw Zora. I went into her pen and she fell asleep in my lap almost immediately. From the start she has been so sweet, intuitive, and a fast learner. Her…

Misty

Tuuka

I adopted Tuuka from the AWS in 2015. When I saw his face I just knew I had to meet him! I went down to the shelter and it was love at first sight! Although this big lovable goof ball…

Shamrock now Coda

Coda is just the most amazing dog ever! He is so humorous and adventurous and I could not think of another reason that I would ever wake up early and walk in below freezing temperatures. But he inspires me to…

Fluff now Flora

Flora joined our family about two years ago and has brought immense joy, comfort, and affection to us since then! The day that I came into AWS, the member I met with mentioned that this blue-eyed beauty was very, very…

Fitz

An orange kitten sits on the chest of his new owner as one of our Happy Homes stories.

I just wanted to reach out with an update on Fitz! He has had an AMAZING two weeks in his new home; meeting his new family and (after a very long and slow introduction process) playing with his brother! Fitz is…

Gus, Luke, Mert, & Bert

The Boys are all doing great! They’ve adjusted very well to their new home. I’m able to get them out of their cage every afternoon for several hours of free time. Their space is the whole living room where they…
