Hello MV Shelter Team, I just wanted to update you on my precious little girl that I adopted on 9/8/19. Holland, the 1 year old husky, that I adopted, is now named Arya Blue. She is a perfect addition to our family. We love her so much and she is doing so well. Thank you for all of the support through the adoption process. You are truly a wonderful and caring group of people to work with.
He is so happy with us and we are so happy with him. He has come such a long way and we are grateful to have him as a part of our family.
Thank you to everyone who was able to help us find out forever kitty. This young man is having zero problems adjusting in our home. In fact he may be getting a little too much attention from my five year old.This is our little boy Douglas on night one! I mean what new cat isn't hiding under the bed for the first three days? This guy! He just seems so appreciative to be here with us.
This is our precious Lily! My husband and I originally went into the shelter looking for a cat.... until we saw her... something said to us this is our girl even though we have Joe a  chihuahua and Bebe a Yorkie and a cat named Jack. We thought that our Bebe would show Lily the ropes but that is not what happened. Lily has shown all of us the ropes!  She is bossy, and very much in
They are the BEST kittens EVER!!  I'm so glad I got both. They still besties :))
Hello. We adopted Abigail (now Birdie) in August.. Just wanted to let you know that she is the sweetest little cat! I thought it might take a couple of months for her to get along with our other cat that we got from you two years ago (Panini...now Chaka). It took about four days! They are great friends. We love our kitties! Thank you!
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 just wanted to give you an update on Dillon who now likes to be called Bodi! 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

We are so very grateful for your time and patience while we worked through the process to find our perfect little bundle of fur. He adds love, curiosity, and peace to our
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
