It's been two years since Phoebe (alias Delilah) adopted me and she is a total joy! I thought you might like to see a picture of Phoebe in her forever home. Phoebe is now 4 years old and we look forward to spending many more birthdays together!
Mr. Nice Guy (renamed Big B) is probably the best dog anyone has ever had. After a short adjustment period between him and my beloved fat cat Choco, he has proven himself to be the best-behaved, sweetest dog. About a year ago, we moved to a 6 acre horse ranch and B has proven himself to be a real ranch dog! He's getting older and it's become harder for him to roam the property, but we are
We love Pasta so much. He fits right in with his new family. He found has found his forever home. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to adopt pasta.
She is an amazing little girl, so sweet and very smart. I was thinking I was in for a long period of adjustment and training, but no! She has bonded with us and our other dog, Katie. She is very social, loves meeting new people, and going for rides in the car. I think it was love at first sight. We love her, she is so so sweet. She snuggles all the time, and follows me everywhere
I adopted Umbreon, now named Milly, just over a week ago and she has been super. She loves to play with her toys on her own, learned to use the scoop-away cat box and is eating well. She likes to be petted and will lick your hand when she is really happy. She lays on the top of the couch and relaxes while we watch TV at night. I am so happy that Milly is now part of our
On 5/24/2019 my fur family grew by 1 and she has made such a difference! My boy Buddy now has someone to run around the yard with and play "chase me around the coffee table" in the evenings. She fit in from day 1 and is absolutely perfect in every single way. She is such a blessing and I could not be more grateful for this little girl! She is an absolute gift.
Hello MVASC,
I adopted Buck, a desert tortoise, the end of August 2018 and wanted to let you know how he is doing. Buck is now know as Peppe, and he is THRIVING! ! I think he might be a little spoiled...maybe. First, I built his enclosure which is landscaped with some native desert plants and have future plans to enlarge the area. Next, I built him the "summer cottage
Piper previously known as Butterfly is fitting right in on our little farm. She has made fast friends with our Healer and is warming up to the Boxer. She is becoming a hoarder, stealing everyone's toys and even a dog bowl, hiding them in her bed.
Thank you for allowing us to make Piper part of our family.
Skittles is one cool cat and we are all very happy together! He's a big talker and always has to have the last word! So glad he became apart of our family.

We're so in love and grateful you guys chose us to be his family, he is a great addition to our little farm, he adores the goats, horses and chickens. After his walks he takes a lap in the pool or even after a long nap...he LOVES swimming. He enjoys walks down at the harbor and on our trails and is a fantastic
I think Frankie is doing amazingly well; when he first arrived at his suite, he spent about fifteen minutes under the bed but quickly came out for attention and treats! Within an hour he was up on the bed with me and was purring, kneading and pawing for attention. He is very playful, too! He is still skittish when there a new noises but comes out of it quickly. He has explored every
We adopted Colton now named Jax, the one-year-old tabby cat, last weekend. We are so happy with him!
Update on both dogs we have adopted from you...
Nina (red) has more than accepted Marley(white) into her pack. She has proven to be very protective of Marley and Cooper. But in her down time. She loves to snuggle.
Thank you for choosing us to have these two. They are a joy to have.
It has been about a week since Woodrow came home with us. All is going better than expected. His appetite has increased, he is active and the lab tests from the vet all came back with no issues. Woodrow is an amazing cat. I cannot believe somebody else did not adopt him immediately. He is probably the nicest cat that I have ever met. He loves to lay on the bed and couch, and cuddle with

Hello,
I just wanted to give everyone an update on Sasha (formerly Jackie). I brought her home about a month ago and her personality is really blossoming . She's like a kitten all over again. Loves to play. Her favorite toy is a mouse on a wire. She drags that thing all around the house, up and down the stairs stick and all! So cute. She follows me around the house everywhere I go even if

Hi. Just a quick note to let you know that Finn is doing great! He won't eat dog food now because he is hooked on chicken! He is house trained and only barks when he is playing. Finn sleeps with me every night, staying on the bed and happy to get up to pee and eat whether it's 8 or 10:30am. I couldn't have asked for a better companion! Thank you all so much.
Hi Mission Viejo Animal Shelter,
I just wanted to give you and update on our awesome pup Remmy that we adopted from you almost 5 years ago. His name was originally Emory and he is a black lab/pitty/beagle? mix. He is seriously the best dog.
He is so loving and sweet and insists on belly rubs. He prefers to spend his days basking in the sun on his back. In fact he spends a lot of time on

She seems to love it! Most importantly, she is doing
I'm sorry it's taken so long to send this update of Jett. He's been keeping us busy :). He's thriving and loved to a fault:). As we suspected, he is a handful, a little crazy and required a lot of training but he's a really good boy. He's scary smart and focused...really good guard dog! We love him so much! Thank you for helping us adopt him!
God bless!
