Happy Tail: Abrams

This is our boy "Abrams."  We adopted him over two years ago at Larimer Humane Society.   He had been there twice--once as a surrender and the second time as a stray.  We love him more then words can say.  He is gentle and kind and always brightens our day. We would be lost without him so thank you Larimer Humane Society! ~April 

Brandy was Flooded with Love

A little over a year ago, the Welch family were looking for a companion for their 10-year-old former shelter rabbit, Scotchy (pictured left, white rabbit). Since Scotchy was a senior pet and very much used to being the head rabbit of the household, the Welches decided to find a young, female rabbit who had a history of living with other rabbits. At the end of October 2013, they saw a rabbit on the Larimer Humane Society website and swiftly went in to see her. When they arrived at the shelter, the rabbit of interest had already found a new home, but they took a few minutes to meet the other rabbits.

As a result of the flooding in Larimer County in September 2013, Larimer Humane Society was evacuating animals from the flood zone and discovered 111 rabbits in a single residence. All were rescued and brought to safety at Larimer Humane Society. After medical examinations, the rabbits were put up for adoption.

The Welches were drawn to one of the evacuees, a little brown bunny that was named Simone at the time. As a result of what Simone had already been through in her short life, she was very leery of people. The Welches took a chance on her and decided to give her the love and patience she deserved.

One year later, Simone who was renamed Brandy, is often carried around the apartment, runs up to strangers looking for lots of attention, and is still very much enamored with her best friend Scotchy. She comes when she is called, knows many tricks and loves giving kisses. She is very gentle to her old pal Scotchy and loves to play chase with former shelter pet Mushroom, the cat.

The Welches say, "We love her very much and she now has an entire apartment to run in and shag rugs to roll around on and a very loving family."

Touchdown! Peyton and Estes Win Big at the Super Adoption Event

In 2013, the Berry family lost their beloved cat, Tyson, and began their search for another Tabby cat to adopt into their home. She searched for over a year and then Teresa Berry said she “fell in love” when she saw Adelson’s picture on the Larimer Humane Society website. After reading that he would be waiting for his new home at the August Super Adoption Event, the Berry family knew this would be the perfect time to adopt him.

They headed to Poudre Pet & Feed Supply and swiftly adopted Adelson. Minutes later, they also adopted Poe at the request of their oldest son. Adelson was renamed Peyton – after all, he is an orange Tabby AND a Broncos fan – and Poe was renamed Estes after the Berry family’s favorite vacation spot. Peyton and Estes were instant best friends and quickly accepted their humans into their family.

They are both affectionate and sweet and have been a perfect match for the Berry’s.  

Riley

Never Judge a Cat By Their Profile

Sometimes when animals come into the shelter, their behavior can change. Riley came into our care because her owners said that she was afraid of dogs and did not enjoy being around them. That information didn't deter a new family from adopting Riley. At home, they introduced her to their high-energy boxers, and guess what?  Riley fit right in! Her name was changed to "Temperance" and now Temperance loves to be around her new dog pals.  She even cuddles with them! Sometimes, animals just need the right situation.
