This is Mischa. We adopted her from your facility and she has made herself right at home.
Cocoa (our older dog) and Mischa have become best friends. They love to play outside and go for rides. It was the best decision we made to adopt Mischa.

She really completed the family, I enjoy watching her learn things and grow everyday. She has really captured my heart and I dont know what I would do without her!

“My family adopted Tawny from y'all last fall. She is an amazing dog! I was a little worried about taking care of a dog at first because I didn't consider myself a dog person but the kids and my husband had been begging me for 3 years to get a dog. I've never regretted having Tawny. She's so loving, kind, cuddly, silly, protective (in a good way) and caring with my kids.
When we took Tawny to her first vet appointment and the doctor couldn't believe we adopted such a loving and gentle dog from a shelter. The only question that we've ever had is why would anyone ever mistreat her or neglect her in anyway!
Thank you to all those that took care of her before us. She's a part of our family that we couldn't see our lives without.”
Having lost my sweet lab in May of 2008, I was certain I did not want to have another dog in my life. You become so attached to them—a loving, furry companion who becomes a larger part of your life than you would like to admit—being a grown-up and all. Then having to see them suffer is too heartbreaking.
I lasted exactly two months—with my younger daughter sending me pictures of adorable rescues she wanted me to save and with my older daughter’s encouragement I decided to take a chance. My sister and brother-in-law had seen a very cute “scruffy” dog at Moore Humane Society. They suggested that I might want to “meet” her—so I did, right there on a Saturday morning at PetSmart—nearly love at first bounce (she is definitely part Jack Russell). My daughter asked me if she was “the one” and I had to agree she was.
When I started volunteering at the Humane Society in December 2008, I was immediately taken with Bam Bam’s handsome face and compelling brown eyes. My husband and I have always loved Labs, and we had lost Sadie, our black Lab, a few years earlier. I tried taking Bam Bam for walks and socializing with him in his kennel, but he was very energetic and strong, and I didn’t feel that I had the strength to control him. I settled for talking to him and doling out treats. But something happened in early May. We seemed to have reached a tacit agreement: I would walk him three days a week as long as he behaved. Bam Bam was becoming a calmer, wiser dog!
During this past summer, Bam Bam needed surgery for a cyst-like tumor on his face and was not allowed out for walks until after the operation. He looked so forlorn, watching the other dogs pass by his kennel. I sat with him each day, and he’ d lie on his side, resting his head in my lap. I promised him right then and there, if all went well with his surgery, I’d return for him and bring him back to Vermont. And that’s what happened! Bam Bam was given a clean bill of health in August, and we made the 950 mile drive to Vermont. Bam Bam (now Barney) immediately took to life in Vermont, walking on the rec paths by the Mad River, cruising through town, meeting other local dogs. Barney also loves being around people, and is very gentle. Recognizing this, I decided to put him to work. I am training him to be a Therapy Dog through the Delta Society Pet Partners, in conjunction with First Health Moore Regional Hospital. If he is accepted, he will be able to visit patients in the hospital, helping them on their road to recovery.
Mr. Barney Rubble has been a beloved member of our household for over five months Every once in a while, he gets a certain look on his face and we see the old Bam Bam resurface, as he goes on a mischievous tear around the house! But honestly, it’s hard not to laugh!
I adopted Chloe from the Moore County Humane Society when she was about 7 and a half months old. She is now three years old and is still doing fantastic! We all love her soooooo much. She is very spoiled and always wagging her tail and ready to play a game of tug-a-war. She is the most playful, loving dog i have ever met and the choice to adopt her was one of the greatest that i have ever made. Chloe sleeps in my bed every night(but is a horrible bedmate) she hogs the covers and if I'm not careful she will completely still my pillow during the night.(: Chloe is just an amazing little dog with such spirit and joy and i thank you so very much for helping me to find my perfect little angel.
She is the happiest little dog I have ever encountered—we take long walks in our neighborhood and she loves greeting people and their dogs as we walk. When she sits down beside me, she leans in and looks up at me with the most soulful eyes—I take this as her version of a hug. Such a sweet and gentle creature—I am so delighted that I found her. I saved her and she saved me.
