We adopted Nina about two months ago. She did need a family that would be patient with her puppy behavior. She is thriving, is super sweet, is very smart and learning very fast. She and my dog Cooper (seen in the picture below) are becoming best friends. Thank you MV Animal Shelter for choosing us to be her forever home and family.
Just an update and sincere thank you for hosting Winston until we were lucky enough to find him at MVAS. We named him Teddy and he is doing really well with other dogs in the neighborhood and at the beach. He loves anyone in our busy holiday house, (except for people wearing hats which seems to be a theme with all my shelter dogs. He is such a sweet dog and is trying so hard to please - we
It was the 2-year anniversary of adopting Jason on Nov 21. Words cannot express the joy he gives me every day. He has two brothers and loves both of them, and they all play together. Thank you for my precious rescue!
We adopted Panini (soonafter renamed: Chaka) in May. It did not take too long for her to become friends with out 16 year-old cat, Brocktoon. My daughter is in love with her (we all are). She is so happy here and we are so happy to have her!
Hello everyone at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter!!! Big shout out to the ladies who run the kitten and cat rooms, because without their help we wouldn't have the two greatest kittens! My husband and I knew we needed to give some kitten a loving home so we got little Sparrow (little black kitten) in August of 2017 when she was 10 weeks old and she immediately fit right in with us and became the
Greetings MVAS! I’m writing to you about my beautiful cat Tula. When I adopted her a little over a month ago, she was the longest cat resident and was “on sale” to encourage her adoption. I saw her picture online and fell in love. She was very shy at first, but she is starting to become more independent. Tula is such a sweetheart. She wakes me in the morning with a gentle paw on my face, and goes
Hi Friends at Mission Viejo Animal Services,
Just wanted to check in and thank you again for pairing us up with our sweet Ellie!!! She is so incredibly sweet and she is fitting right in here with our family. Dug, our Golden, is one happy boy now that he has a sister again!!! They play all the time, take walks together, nap together, basically, where you find one, the other isn’t far behind
Hi there,My boyfriend and I adopted Rizzo about 3 months ago and we wanted to share some photos of her!
Here are a couple of shots of our new little love "Randy" (formerly Rusty) from your shelter...we hit the jack pot with this little nugget!
Hello everyone at MV Shelter! Just a quick note and some updated pics. We adopted Shania
Sally, our new family member is Sally and we are Crazy about her!! We needed a companion for our male dog Jordy. It was Love at first sight. Sally and Jordy are inseparable. Thanks so much to the staff at MVAS for making this happen.
Larry is the perfect fit for our family! He is an amazing, well behaved gentle giant. He is so great with the kids and anyone he comes in contact with and enjoys long walks with the family. We can't believe our luck! Thank you Mission Viejo Animal Services for allowing us to adopt him. He is very well loved in our home.
We recently adopted Trestles, now King Lou, and he has been a fantastic addition to our family. Thank you everyone at the MV Shelter for all of your hard work!!!
We adopted little Todd yesterday (now named Peanut Butter :) ) and we absolutely love him! He is doing great and has adjusted so well already. He was nervous on the car ride home, but was so content the moment we put him in his new cage. He immediately started playing with the toys in there, crawling into the little cave, ate and drank, and even ate strawberries out of our hand. Our dog
We are so excited to have Poppy home with us. She is such a sweetie. We are all learning about each other. Our son is in love with her too. She was a little scared at first but once we got home and let her check out the house and the backyard, she made herself right at home.
Things are going great with Ralphy! As soon as we brought him home, it was like he was a different dog. He warmed up to us both pretty quickly, especially with Griff. They became instant best friends. You were right to suggest that Ralph go to a home with another dog. Being around Griff has given him confidence and reassurance during his transition into the home, which has been very important.
Feline formerly known as Alf and now going by Chunk seems to be adjusting to his new home nicely.
Thank you!
It has been a little over 3 weeks since we adopted Jitterbug, and she is amazing! She has made the house her own from day one, never was she afraid, and never hid from anyone. She is very social with everyone, she goes up to anyone and wants a head scratch. Our roommates love her too. Thank you all for your help.
We adopted Benny a few short months ago. I lovingly call him "Benny Marley" because he's so chill and just loves to love and be loved. Like the Bob Marley song goes " Could you be love? Then be love." That's our Benny. My husband saw his photo on the adoption page, and I went to visit with him a few times. We instantly fell in love with this little guy who had been given up by his elderly owner.
Hello!
This is Mim Williams, writing from my new home in Pasadena. I miss my old friends, all of you who work at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter. My new mom is really nice, and I have a big brother, Mateo. Pasadena is very hot but we got air-conditioning this weekend! So I found a basket, curled up, and stayed in it the whole morning.

Dry kitten food is OK, but I really
I adopted Noel (now known as Edith) on July 2 from your shelter. I was expecting a standoffish cat at best, and a terror at worst (lol) but was prepared to deal with whatever came of it. So I have had her for just over two weeks now, and I have to say...the BEST cat ever!! She is the sweetest, friendliest thing, super playful but not destructive in the slightest. She scratches on her
Hi, we adopted Beretta , now Butters, in April. Here's some more pictures of her recent adventures. She's the best little doggie! We love her so much. Took her on a road trip and she did great & loved it.
Hey! I can't thank you guys enough, the front desk, vet, and especially the supportive volunteers in the kitten room. I re named him Marshmallow. He loves running and jumping, and playing is his litter box. We've been spoiling him, and got him a cat tower, which he's in love with. He has accepted our dog, as our dog has slowly met him. At night after he runs around for a couple hours, he falls
