Porsha is a true HSVC success story! Nicole and her family adopted 9-week-old Porsha in October of 2007. Thirteen years later, she is still as spunky as ever living life to the fullest with her forever family.

HSVC Kennel Manager Angela Hanline is the queen of foster fails. She first fostered 11-week-old Tanner (left) ten years ago and quickly decided she wanted to permanently make him a member of the family. Fast forward to late 2019; Angela decided to foster 5-month old Pepper (right) after she nearly passed away in her arms. It wasn’t love at first sight, but the pair eventually bonded and Angela officially adopted Pepper last month.

Nicole and Tyler adopted Obsidian, formerly Apollo, from the HSVC in June of 2017. Nicole said she initially had her sights set on a different cat when looking to adopt from the shelter, but he was adopted before she got the chance. Devastated, Nicole’s boyfriend Tyler convinced her to come back to the HSVC in hopes of finding someone else to love.

Neva came to the HSVC in June of 2016 to "just visit" the cats at the shelter. She had no intention of adopting one, let alone two cats that day until she met Tom and Jerry.

Stanley is living the good life with his forever family. This adorable pup was adopted by Malia and Maya back in January and it has been nonstop love and adventures ever since!

Tiana first laid eyes on Milo in September of 2017 after a friend had sent her his photo and information from the HSVC website. She got to meet the sweet pup the following weekend at an HSVC hosted adoption event and fell in love with his calm demeanor. It didn’t take long to decide that he was the one for her.

Scooter has found a new friend in his forever home! After being adopted by Scott, the black domestic shorthair cat has become great friends with his new fur sibling, Miss Feather.

What’s better than one adoption success story? Two adoption success stories! Miranda adopted her first dog, Abby (left), from the HSVC in 2017. Two years later, Miranda decided to Abby needed a friend. She adopted Taffy (right) in 2019 and the pair of pups have been best friends ever since!

Mary Beth first saw Bertie, formerly Buddy, in October of 2019 on the HSVC website after searching for a Dachshund mix. While Bertie, a 7-year-old Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel, wasn’t exactly what Mary Beth and her husband Cort were looking for, he turned out to be the perfect dog for their household.

Moose arrived at the HSVC in early May of 2019. It only took a little more than a week at the shelter before he found his forever home with Madison and her family.
