Since we are finally catching up on our Happy Tails, we couldn’t let today go by without another exciting dog adoption, sweet Ritz!

We first met Ritz when we showed up to work one day and he was left overnight in a kennel at our door. It was a sad situation but he greeted us with his infamous big smile and won us over quickly. Ritz did test positive for heartworms and went thru his treatment like a champ while recently testing heartworm negative!

Ritz was overlooked very often and we could never understand why. He was sweet, loving, dog friendly, funny, and everything you’d want in a friend. Sometimes that’s just the sad reality of shelter life and we knew one day he’d find a forever match.

As soon as this family met Ritz, they knew it was game over. They were over the moon with excitement to welcome him into their home. His name is now Remy and his new family say he loves to cuddle, get zoomies in the yard, and hang with his new doggy brother!

We thank Ritz’s new family for seeing how amazing he truly is and for allowing us to finally say Happy Tails Ritz!

All Happy Tails are sweet, but some just hit a little harder.

Parker, a young lab mix, was having a hard time adjusting to the shelter life due to his high energy! He needed a family to give him love and exercise. One day he came barreling down the hall, dressed up in his new harness, and ready to hop in the car with an adopter. Until he barked, and sadly that sealed the deal and he was “deemed too energetic”. So back to his kennel he went. It was heartbreaking for staff to know he was so close to his chance but rejected, however we believe all things happen for a reason! And for Parker that was certainly the case.
One day a wonderful lady came in to drop off donations and just asked on a whim if we had time to introduce her to Parker. We informed her he had an adoption appointment at that time but it seemed they stood us up to which she immediately replied, “Oh I’ll take their spot!” and within about 10 minutes, she was filling out an application! After a flawless home visit, Parker finally found his people! He is now romping around in a beautiful yard and spending lots of time on the couch cuddling!
Parker knew his happy ever after was out there somewhere and we are so thrilled to say Happy Tails to sweet Parker!
