Happy adoption stories
Many of our adopters, volunteers, donors and friends send us stories and photos of the animals who give them so much joy. We dedicate this space to all of you whose lives have been changed by animals.

Cherry
I adopted Cherry after losing my previous cat to cancer. I wasn't planning to adopt new cat, but when I saw her story, it reminded me of one of my previous cats – and I really wanted to meet her.
She was hiding away in her carrier, and was so scared she wasn't even interested in treats. I didn't even get a good look at her at SPCA, but I couldn't leave without her.
It was a slow start and she needed a lot of patience in the beginning, but I'm so glad I trusted my guts and adopted her. She is a huge snuggle bug and very talkative now. She follows me all the time, loves playing and hanging out with me.
I feel like we helped each other heal and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.More happy adoption stories
