Wilson & Ember Go Home!
This couple strolled through the Kitten Room and saw Wilson and just had to get him ‘and’ Ember!
They’re rather a bonded pair so they will be living together forever!
Congratulations to all! 🎈

‘Tis the Season ~
Even though it’s winter, it’s Autumn for this woman and her husband. They walked in to the Teen Room and fell in love with this beautiful cat.
Their adoption process - filled out an application, the approval (in this case) was fairly quick, and a carrier was lent - was efficient. And out the door they walked with their new pet!
Congratulations to all! 🎈

We just acquired this dog last week. His name is Watson and guess what?
He's a good boy.
He has acclimated to our kennels very well. He'd love to be at home in your living room.

Tuffy, the once-teeny kitten who rode his way to Hollister in the engine of a pickup truck, now has a great life with this gal. Tuffy was adopted last week! Christmas for both of them was glorious!
Congratulations! “Meow”

Chocolate? Cocoa? No! FUDGE!
These two young children came to Pet Friends looking for a kitty to have and to hold. They sat on the bench in the middle of the Kitten Room. And no sooner did this darling black 🐈⬛ kitten, Fudge, sit on their laps and purr. It was a purr•fect match!
Congratulations to everyone! “Meow!” 🐾
