This past weekend was outstanding. Our previous record for most animals adopted in one day was 23 which sounds almost insane. Well, on Saturday March 9th 2013, we adopted out 27 animals!!! Not only did we beat our all time record but we all got to watch 27 amazing animals find their forever homes. It was truly an amazing day and I'm so glad I got to be there. One adoption that I did stood out to me because it was a very nice family who found their perfect new pet. This family came into us looking for a playmate for their collie mix. They had two little boys who wanted a new puppy to run around and play with. Baily was a terrier mix puppy at about 5 months old who had been in the shelter for just two days; the boys instantly fell in love with her and even named her Molly within the first few minutes of meeting her. The kids had fell in love with her but he big test was weither their dog thought the same. They came back an hour after visiting to bring their dog in so we could make sure it would be a good match, and guess what? The dogs absolutly loved eachother and it was a match made in heaven.
The whole family was thrilled and so was I. After signing some papers and picking out the perfect lime green leash and collar for her Baily (now Molly) went home with her forever family.
This was just one great adoption from the day and trust me there were so many other touching stories like this one. Our new shelter has been doing amazing and its an incredible thought to know that we've become this well-known already. Keep in mind that we have only been open for two months now and have already broken records. I can't wait to see what is in store for us over the next couple of years.
