Eva

Eva was just adopted by a nice couple who adopted a Min Pin Mix two months ago. The two dogs got along famously! They had wanted a “scruffy Terrier type” dog when they adopted their first dog two months ago and were thrilled to find one now.

JUNE ADOPTIONS!

Jack

Jack went home to a very Jack Russell savvy home! In fact his new brother is Jack Russell, and you should see the two play together! Have fun, Jack!

Sadie

Sadie, our tri-pod, and staff favorite, has been adopted to a very loving home! We will miss her, but wish her all the best!

Sonja

Sonja is the happy new companion of a wonderful woman. She has the time to dedicate to giving Sonja the kind of life she could only dream about in the past. This is one lucky little girl!

Milo

Adorable, exuberant little Milo came to us when his owner had to give him up. She indicated that he is great with kids, and would be happiest in a home with children. That is just what he got! He is now happily playing with three children, and their stay at home dad, so he will get lots of attention! We are so happy for our little bundle of fun!

Merlin

Merlin, a beautiful German Shepherd who had been bounced around from home to home has finally found his forever home! This wonderful couple had lost their German Shepherd a few months ago, and were delighted to give another deserving dog the life he has been missing.

Odie

Odie went home with a great family with two young boys, and a wonderfully tolerant and sweet German Shepherd named Baxter! They report that they are very happy with him!

Tahji

Tahji had lots of visitors when his gorgeous mug was in the Press Democrat. He ended up going home with a very happy lady who knows all about the breed, and was so excited to find him!

Rusty

Charming Rusty won the hearts of a loving couple who originally came in to meet another cat, but knew right away that Rusty was the one for them!

Luke

Luke, an Aussie Mix, was adopted yesterday. Julie met the couple as they were heading out in the car with him. Luke looked so happy in that backseat! Their last dog had passed away awhile back and they were thrilled to find a dog so smart and well-behaved! We wish everyone a long and happy life together!

Duchess

Duchess went home to a great family with two small adorable girls, Hannah and Audrey, who are six and two respectively. Duchess is the family’s first dog. Way to go, Duchess!

Crystal

Crystal found her new home with Keziah Vanderford Holz. Even better, she is now sister to Bella Bells, who came home with Keziah from the shelter two years ago. Best wishes to everyone in the family!

Maxamillion

Maximillion found a wonderful home! Bye little buddy..I'll miss your sweet face

Wilma

Adorable little Wilma is sure to be very happy with her new mom and dad!

Mae

Our lovable, extraordinarily sweet, one-eyed Cocker Spaniel was adopted to a woman who last Cocker died in December. She was a "Senior looking for a Senior", and Mae won her heart from the first moment. Mae came to us late last week from the Petaluma Animal Shelter. PAS has helped us with dogs and it was our turn to step up to the plate. This dog was a good match for our Shelter and we're thrilled to say Mae landed a wonderful home in less than a week.

 

Connor

This adorable six month old Poodle was with us such a short time he never even had a chance to have his picture taken. If you remember Pierre, he looked a lot like him. Having been turned into Sonoma County AC&C by the same person, the two dogs were most likely related. Connor is a shy boy who needs some TLC, and boy is he ever going to get it! Adopted by an experienced dog-owning couple, Connor will lead the life of Riley. And the best news? Shy though he is, Connor absolutely comes alive around other dogs. His tail wags and his carefree spirit emerges...And Connor got a home with Darla. (See below.)

Darla

This year old Dachshund Mix has such spirit! Oh, how we wish we had a picture to show you, but like Connor, Darla was with us for less than 48 hours before being placed in a home. This girl had a perpetual smile and those little paws never stopped moving...she wasn't running anywhere, just showing her excitement about being alive and so ready to be loved. Darla will be loved...by the same wonderful couple who added Connor to their home.

3 Kittens

Bud, Sleepy and Marcel were all adopted today...without ever setting paw in the Shelter. Yes, these guys were nurtured and loved in their foster homes and adopted into permanent homes from foster care.

 

MAY ADOPTIONS!

Kittens

Sunny

What a great dog! And now this great dog has a great home. After arriving at the Shelter from County AC&C, poor Sunny contracted a cold. That set him back with adoption prospects. Once he was healthy - and it took awhile - it seemed that Sunny was...well, always the Best Man and never the Groom." Yet we all knew he was AMAZING. Sunny is lovable, huggable, does well with other dogs, is well-behaved, and so darn cute. Finally a couple came to the Shelter (thanks to Barry, volunteer Cat Photographer) interested in him. They drove all the way from Ukiah. They weren't going to adopt. They just wanted to look. But Sunny won their hearts. And the rest is history. Have a wonderful life, Sunny!

Nadia

Finally! Finally! Finally! We just love it when good things happen to good people...well, we mean in this case: when good things happen to good cats. Nadia came to us almost a year ago. She was thinner and sleeker then. She was nicer. (Too long in a cage will do that to you.) But someone arrived over the weekend who recognized - who knew - her innate goodness, and fell in love. Happy trails, lovely Nadia!

Tater Tot

Betsy

Betsy got the most wonderful home with a fabulous couple, Linda and Leonard, who live in Sonoma. They lost their last dog quite awhile ago, but it took a long time for them to be ready to open their hearts and home again. Linda & Leonard visited many other shelters, but were captivated by little Betsy. And they should be! Reports have it that she has mastered the doggy door, does not need to be crated, is housetrained, extremely well-behaved in the home and as much of a love as they first found her to be. And rumor has it they will be back in six months or so to find just the right canine buddy for little Betsy! Congratulations, girl; you hit the jackpot!

Olive

And another jackpot winner! We've already received a glowing email from Olive's adoptive family stating: "We know it's only been a day, but Olive is wonderful!" Olive simply loves this family consisting of mother, father and boys. The boys dote on her and play endless games of ball. Olive runs across the acreage and has coziness inside with the family when they're not outdoors playing with her. This is one great life for one great dog!

Koa

Little Koa waited...and patiently waited. First he waited for his owners to come and get him after he was turned into us as a stray. Sadly, they did not appear. Then he contracted a cold that wouldn't go away, so we couldn't even put him up for adoption. Once Koa was 100% healthy, we scheduled his neutering appointment. It cancelled not one, not two, but three times! And still Koa patiently waited. Now we know why he waited. He was waiting for that perfect owner to come along - the one who knew all about Min Pins, had in fact owned one before, and simply and immediately fell head over heels for him. With Koa, we all have learned once again that patience really does pay off.

Oliver

Oliver came to us from Sonoma County Animal Care & Control on a Monday. On a Wednesday - 48 short hours later - he was placed with a wonderful woman looking for that perfect companion. Today Oliver s basking in love in his new home! Congratulations, Oliver!

Pierre

 Pierre is a little love a dog who was with us for less than a week when a mother and her son found him and knew he was the one.

 

Brooke

Our little funny face won the hearts of a wonderful new family, and is now living the good life!

Savannah

This bouncy little kitten was snatched up in flash! 

Oscar

Oscar didn't even make it on our website before he found his perfect home!

 

Shiloh

It seemed everyone wanted to adopt this little cutie! We picked just the right home for her from many applicants.

Milton

Lucky Milton is now home with a former Board member!

Sasha

What a great dog, and how lucky are her adopters! We wish her the best in her new home!

Marmalade

Marmalade was witnessed being tossed from a car, and came to us in very bad condition, so it is safe to say she probably did not have a very good life before arriving at the shelter. She will now be living a great life with her new mom!

 

Mozart

Mozart's new family saw his picture on our website, and just had to come and meet him. Within minutes he was snuggled on their laps, purring his heart out!

Molly's new person came in looking for a kitty companion, and fell in love with Molly's quirky, old lady looks. We are so happy Molly found such a great home!

Sherman

When Sherman came to us from Sonoma County Animal Control, we suspected immediately that this cutie pie Sherman would be great with kids, and he proved us right when he met his new family and hit it off beautifully with the children!

Casey

Sweet and pretty Casey found her forever home with a great family!

 

 

Smokey

Smokey, the loving boy with a soft meow, found a greay family with kids that you loved playing with!

Amos

Our Little Amos was adopted to a wonderful family!

 
Tank

Our adorable little Ewok, Tank, was adopted by a former Board member! Our second adoption by a former Board member this week. His playmate is a sweet Lhasa Apso mix named Cinnamon!

Penny

Lucky Penny was adopted at our mobile adoption event at Petco!

Wilma

Little Wilma is now warming the lap of a former Board President who had been looking for just the right dog for quite some time! She found that dog in Wilma, who is now called Willow.

Riley

Handsome and distinguished, Riley made quite an impression on everyone he met. He is now undoubtedly ruling the roost in his new home!

Sassy

Sassy might hold the record for the shortest stay at the shelter ever. After being transferred from Sonoma County Animal Control, Sassy was here for less than 24 hours before she was adopted by her new family.

Clyde

Clyde was here for a very short time before his new dad saw his picture on our website and rushed in to meet him. They hit it off right away, romping and playing together, and we knew this was a perfect match!

Bridget

Bridget went home with her new family who came to meet another cat, but realized Bridget was the perfect match for their home!

Wilson

Sweet Wilson came to us literally skin and bones. With some good nurishment and lots of TLC, he is a different dog, and has now found his forever home! 

 

Janie

I got adopted to a lovely woman today that knew I was the one!

 

Fabia

I went to the Healdsburg Dog House, spent one night there, and then got adopted because I am that awesome!

 

 

APRIL ADOPTIONS!

Mason

Mason, now named 'Skippy', is reportedly adjusting well to his new home, and they are having loads of fun with him!

Meadow

Our sweet and silly Boxer, Meadow went home with a family who saw her on Petfinder, and drove all the way from Vallejo to take her home.

Louie

Meadows best buddy, Louie, found a great home the very same day at our Adopt-a-thon!

Solomon

Solomon found his forever home at the Adopt-a-thon with a sweet lady who volunteers as a cat socializer at another shelter, so we know he is in great hands!

Belle

Sweet and pretty Belle came to us with the first litter of kittens of the season. Now she is enjoying the good life in her new home!

Murphy

Murphy found his perfect home with a family that fell head over heels for him at the Adopt-a-thon!

Watson

Darling Watson was found wandering the Safeway parking lot, likely abandoned. This rabbit was amazingly friendly and had perfect manners. He is now happily home where he will get lots of attention and stimulation.

Sienna and Pipa

These two look alikes are now beloved pets of a wonderful family! These two are a couple of the most easy-going, well-adjusted cats we've seen, and will make perfect companions for each other, and their new family.

Katie

Cutie pie Katie hit the jackpot with her new home! We couldn't be happier for her!

Jessie

Jessie was here a mere 5 days before she was snatched up by her perfect match! Jesse was a staff favorite, and we will miss her, but we are delighted she is out of the shelter and in a great home!

 

 

 Sly & Chloe

 

Sly and Chloe have packed their bags together and gone to live on a beautiful horse ranch in Sonoma county. There they will be surrounded by animal lovers of all walks of life. What a great life!

Azure

Azure found his forever home when he went to Memorial Beach Veterinary Hospital to be neutered, and one of the Vet Techs fell in love! 

Tubby

 

I got adopted to a very lovely young lady that did her community service work at the shelter. It was an instant connection from the get go. Tubbs couldn't have found a better home!

Skylar

Skylar found an amazingly patient owner that has been working with her shyness from day one. She quickly won his heart over and the decision was made to spend the rest of their lives together. Congratulations to both James and Sklar!

Lincoln

I am a 10 year old boy and HAS pulled me from the county shelter to give me a second chance. It wasn't 2 weeks before my new family came to adopt me. We played ball in the yard and it was just a picture perfect moment. They understood me.

Gemma

Gemma, our big puppy, found a great active family that will give her all the exercise she desires! Way to go Gemma, good luck in your new adventures!

China

Our beautiful China doll has been waiting over 2 years for a home, and all that waiting finally paid off when she was snatched up by a wonderful woman who just lost her 18 year old cat. To say we are happy for China is an understatement! I think we should have a party! She really got a wonderful home.

Gretal

Gretal came to us nearly a year ago as a feral kitten. She and her brother Hansel spent time in foster care, with the hope that they could be socialized and become family pets. Hansel began to warm up, but Gretal was a tougher case. She returned to the shelter, and went into one of our communal cat rooms where we hoped in time she would learn to trust humans. As each month passed, Gretal slowly began to come out of her shell. We rejoiced the day she finally, very tentatively, allowed someone to gently pet her head. Eventually, you could hardly see the feral she had once been. A gentle, loving kitty had emerged, and before long she found her forever home!

Mambo

Life had not treated poor Mambo very kindly before he came to us. His ears were chewed up, and he was terrified, yet he showed a very affectionate side to those who took the time to bond with him. To our delight, it didn't take long for Mambo's lucky day to arrive. A gentle soul came in looking for a large cat, fell in love with Mambo's signature squeaky meow, and was touched by his shy affection. She felt she could give him the love and patience he needed to feel secure. He is now happily home where he can take as long as he needs to relax and come out of his shell.

Petunia

Petunia was transferred to us from the Sonoma County Animal Shelter. Our Executive Director fell in love with this sweet, very easy going little girl, and thought she knew just the right home for her. A darling little family had been looking for a new family member and playmate for their young boys. When they came to meet her, she was immediately drawn to the children, asking for pets, and licking their hands. It was a great match, and we know that lucky Petunia will have a great life!

Buddy

Buddy is now the new companion of a teenage boy and his mother. He instantly responded to this sweet little family, and we know he will be very happy! She works from home, so he will have company all day, while he waits for his new buddy to come home and play!

Tessa

Tessa had been waiting here at the shelter for her forever home since last November when a woman came in looking for the perfect playmate for her dog, Dakota. She was immediately drawn to Tessa, and especially interested when she learned Tessa had been here so long. Dakota had also waited a very long time in a shelter, when she adopted her. Tessa and Dakota almost look like sisters, and you would have thought they were at the very least, long lost pals by the way they greeted one another and instantly started playing! Now Dakota can stop trying to play with the cats in the home, who wanted nothing to do with her.

Othello

Othello spent months at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter before coming to us. We soon discovered that Othello was vehemently opposed to being anywhere near another cat, but liked dogs. We decided the perfect place for Othello would be the Healdsburg Dog House, where he just might find someone with a dog who was looking for a dog friendly cat. Sure enough, within days, in walked a nice lady who had a dog, and was specifically looking for a big, black, male cat!

Abigail

Abigail is happily in her new home with our own Kennel Technician, Todd! She gets along great with her new brother, a Pit Bull named Seamus. Abigail is adored by her new family and we know she will have a wonderful life!

Reggie

Reggie went home with a wonderful family with three children, who live on a ranch. His new playmate is a sweet Cattledog. We know he will get lots of love in his new home!

Trixie

Trixie was a darling young girl that found an incredible home with a mother and her two loving daughters! We are so thrilled that she found a home so quickly; she was just too precious to resist!
