Shelter Happenings
March Was Filled With
New Beginnings!
With the warm weather and first days of spring, our community came out to meet pups and kitties, and many furry friends found their forever families. From playful puppies wagging out the door to cats of all ages snuggling into new homes, it was a month of fresh starts.
Mystery, a sweet and affectionate cat, spent 144 days in our care—longer than most, and it was a “mystery” why she hadn’t been adopted sooner. She charmed everyone she met with her gentle personality and playful spirit. After months of waiting, Mystery finally found her perfect family and a new brother to love. Now she’s bringing warmth, affection, and endless purrs to her forever home, proving good things come to those who wait.
Puppies may have stolen the spotlight, but longer-stay dogs had their moments too—especially Ajax. This special boy spent 101 days at the shelter, including two foster placements, before finally finding the right family in Stanley. Ajax captured the hearts of staff and volunteers alike with his playful energy, his soft, cuddly side, and his unwavering affection. His journey reminded everyone that sometimes the best things take time, and his adoption was a joyous celebration for the whole shelter. Now, Ajax is thriving, living his best life, and bringing joy to his new family every single day.
Happy Spring to all our four-legged friends and their families starting a new season—and journey—together!
