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!
