Happy Tails!!We love to hear the wonderful stories about the pets that we have helped find their forever homes. That's what "Happy Tails" are all about. If you have a story you would like to share with us please send it to us through our Contact Us page. Below you will find some "Happy Tails" shared with us in our Blog.Posted Aug 17, 2010 Scruffy's Happy Tail "Plant a flower; grow a smile. I'd like you to meet Scruffy on our daily walk at
the lake and just in time for tummy rubs as well. She's on the go so much it's
hard to get great pictures but she's just the perfect addition to our family.
She's a lovely little Yorkie-poo; a wonderful companion, great hiker, and a very
nice little lap dog as well. The wonderful people at Farmington Pet Adoption
Center had no trouble finding the right fur baby for us out of the many they
have there. We were also very pleased to get a call from one of the board
members checking up on Scruffy. This group truly cares about the animals that
pass through their hands. Thanks to all who had a hand in Scruffy's rescue,
care, and adoption.Bonnie and Stan " Posted Aug 11, 2010 Jill's Happy Tail In July, we adopted Jill. She is 2 and was at the shelter for over a year, poor little lady. She is our first family dog, and is AMAZING!!!! she loves my kids, the first thing she did when we brought her home was jump on the couch like " its about time I get a couch I deserve it!!" And she's right, she is the perfect dog for our family. The people at the shelter were wonderful, they totally knew her. They all seem to work very hard to keep all there animals happy. We will definitely be adopting all of our animals from now on. Love, The Frieds Posted May 11, 2010 Hazel's Happy Tail 
Kathy writes: "Our family adopted Hazel from the Pet Adoption Center on the
first day of spring this year. In the previous year, we had lost our two
long-time companion cats, Nick in April and Sophie in July, and were beginning
to really miss having a cat around. After hearing of other happy adoptions from
the center, we decided to go visit the cats “just to see.” We met Hazel on our
first visit and it was love at first sight. We found it especially enchanting
that the stripes on her left side formed a heart shape. She has been with us now
for nearly a month and we could not be more satisfied with her. She has been a
sweet friend, made up of just the right combination of dependence and
independence, and has a special relationship with each one of us." Posted March 21, 2010 Luke & Lylah's Happy Tail  The Pulliam Family writes:"Hi. We are the proud owners of 2 beautiful
kitties adopted from FPAC on January 6th 2009. We had decided to adopt a cat (or
two) and looked up the local shelters in our area and came across FPAC. After
speaking to the nice woman who worked with the shelter, my daughter and I
visited to see if we could find our new additions. We did.....When we first
walked into the room we were greeted by about 10 cats of all ages. We petted
them all and got to know them a bit before Luke (one of our adoptees) came up to
me. I was not giving him the attention he wanted so he climbed up my shirt and
into my arms. After he got where he wanted to be, he gave me lots of affection
and kisses. From then on, he was mine. Now Lylah (our other adopted kitty) is
Luke's sister. She was a little stand-offish at first. But, my daughter was
sitting in the floor and Lylah just went over to her and laid right in her lap.
My daughter decided that was the one she wanted (as if she had any choice!). We
filled out the paperwork and they were ours.The shelter and the people who work
there are so nice. I called and emailed for information a few times before we
made our visit. The staff gave me the best description of the animals they had,
so I had a good feeling that I would find my new companions. Luke and Lylah were
pretty frightened when we first got them home. After all, the shelter was the
only home they had ever known. We did not really see them for about 4 days. They
both hid behind the washer and dryer and only came out if no one was home or we
were in bed. But after a few days they did come out. It took another day or so
before they would let us pet them, but they came around. Now, 8 months later,
they are both the biggest lap cats and cuddle bugs you have ever seen. They have
adjusted well and have gotten so big! They have the complete run of the house
and can do as they please..within reason. If I had to guess, I think they are
happy here. I know that, in the future if we decide we want another pet, FPAC
will be the place we go." |
