Fresh, a ten month old pit mix, was adopted on Friday from Summit County Animal Control! His new dad Grant Lowry owns his own landscaping company, just bought a home, and was ready for a canine companion. We’re so happy that he picked Fresh! We think these two guys are gonna have a lot of fun together and many years of friendship! Thank you Grant for choosing adoption, best wishes to you and Fresh 🙂
Hank was adopted this week!! This guy was so nervous when he first came to Summit County Animal Control, but like most doggies with some time to decompress, his true colors started to show! Hank’s new mom Alexis fell in love with him! We know he’s going to love having a family. Though Alexis has to wait for him to be neutered, she visited him Saturday and took him on a nice, long walk 🙂 Thank you Alexis for choosing adoption and giving Hank a forever home!!
Bandit, Biscuit, and Tate are all home safe with their owner!! Via Friends of Summit County Animal Control: “Look who went home today!! The 3 aussies owner came for them and took them back home. He was so thankful they were safe, warm and fed!! Thankfully, he saw our post online of them listed as strays and made immediate contact to our page! Always check your local pound if your animal goes missing.” Yes, and likewise if you find a stray pet know that the “pound” is the first place that most owners look for their lost loved ones. Summit County Animal Control is a safe place for lost dogs and cats to wait for their pet parents to find them! We’re so happy that these three Aussies found their way back home. Thanks Friends of SCAC for the update!!
We got this update from Randy’s new mom Lori a while back. She tells the amazing story of how she came to find Randy who’s name is now Augustus or Augie! Lori found her new furbaby because our professional photo on PetFinder. We’re so happy that Augie has found his forever home and that he is obviously very loved. It brings us to (happy) tears knowing that an unwanted pet found love and security because of our organization! We love updates like this! Thank you Lori for choosing adoption 😀 Here’s the story in her own words: “A couple months ago I lost my best friend Buster to cancer at only 10 years of age. I was devastated, as anyone who has lost a canine family member can understand. Fortunately I still had the love and companionship of my Puggle, Mr Magoo. He was sad. I was sad. One day while browsing on petfinder I saw a Puggle in a Pay it Forward for Pets photo. I knew I had to find out more about him. He was named Randy by SCAC. I went to meet him and was told he had been adopted. I kept his photo as the wallpaper on my phone. A few days later I called SCAC and asked if by chance they had any other Puggles, and they told me one had just come in, so I raced to meet him. They directed me to his kennel, and as soon as I saw his face I recognized him. It was Randy! The previous adopters had returned him because he was not a good match for their family! All I could say was “I’ll take him!” Now that he is home with us I am so grateful that the other family returned him, because he is a gem! So loving, so grateful! He’s very smart, and he’s quickly learning proper doggy behavior. Before he left SCAC he was diagnosed as heart worm positive. I learned that the treatment is very costly, and I was unable to pay for it. After discussing all this with my vet, Dr. Lisa Mokas, she suggested I try to find a sponsor. I was thrilled to learn a few days later that an anonymous donor had agreed to pay for Randy’s treatment, which I believe was an answer to prayer. None of this would have happened if Pay it Forward for Pets had not posted that very professional photo. That’s what caught my eye, and that’s what saved my dogs life! I decided to give him a new name for his new life. It took most of the month of August to adopt him, so I named him Augustus, or Augie for short. Augie Dawgy is sleeping happily in his own cozy bed as I write this. Mr Magoo is sleeping nearby. Life is good. Thank you all for the work you do!”
Jessie, photographed last week, found her forever home!!! She seems to have made herself right at home! We got an update from her family: Tabitha and her daughter adopted Jessie and that she is very happy. Tabitha says that Jessie is doing great and that “She is very at home and hates to be alone she is always following one of us.” We think that Jessie knows she has a family now and she doesn’t want to lose sight of them! Thank you for the update Tabitha, and for adopting this sweet girl! We’re very happy to get an update on one of the cats we’ve helped. If you’ve adopted a pet that we helped through one of our six programs, send us an update either on our wall or through a message. We would love to share your Happy Tail with our followers 😀
