SUCCESS STORIES

This is the best part…the happily ever after.

These are the stories of animals that no one wanted and, because of that, they faced almost certain death. But with some love, care, and patience, these animals now stand as examples of what is possible. They are reminders that the thousands of innocent dogs who are euthanized every year need not die from apathy and ignorance.

Every dog has a story to tell. Below are just a few of our success stories.
