Are you just bursting to tell us the story of how your dog or cat changed your life? We'd love to hear from you. The Humane Society is looking for a few "star" volunteers for a video short. It should only take 4 hours of your time. Please contact Carrie F. Glavin (801-261-2919 EX 207 or cglavin@utahhumane.org) tell us a quick overview of your story and we'll get back to you.
Thank you for your time.
As our family walked
into the Humane Society about 3 years ago, we didn't know what to expect. Thinking about the kitten we were going
to adopt had excitement running through our family! One by one we met and played with the candidates.
We want to thank
the Humane Society for our two beautiful girls. We adopted Kahlua in 2007, and Abbie in 2008. It took them a little
while to learn to love one another, but they now get along really well (most of the time!).
I had just
arrived in Salt Lake City from Minneapolis, MN to live with my fiance, Nate, in June 2008. I had wanted a
cat since I was five years old, but hadn't been allowed to have one growing up.
On June 1, 2008 our buddy Snickerdoodle came into our lives. He had been neglected; his hair was so
matted he had been shaved; he needed intensive work on his
teeth; he was incredibly nervous.
I got Buddy in may of 2008, at the time he was
Captain, but he is now buddy. I love this crazy hyper dog, he is so sweet and he
loves people, and loves to go on his daily walks. When we got him he was
probably 8-10 months old and now over a year old.
Hi, I'm writing to talk about Roxy. Once upon a
time she was known as Candy. Roxy liked the new name more so we decided to
call her that. She has been a great addition to my family.
I am so grateful to the humane society for my kitty
Spike. My fiancé got him for me before I went in for ankle
surgery so that I would not be home alone for two months. Spike
has turned out to be the best pet I have ever owned in my
life.
Hi everyone at the shelter, I hope all of you find
homes as loving as the one that I did. I was 3 months old when I found my
forever home. Oh yeah, my full name is Ratfink, but I prefer to be called
simply Fink.
For anyone who is considering adopting a pet from HSU,
I would personally like to say it its the best thing you could ever do. I
found Dolmic 8 years ago. I knew the instant I looked in his eyes, that he
would be a member of our family.
It was September 20,2008 when my boyfriend and I went
into the Humane Society to look for a new dog. We walked into the puppy room and
none of those dogs seemed to be right for us.
The last week of February 1997, I came to
choose a pet from the Humane Society in Murray, Utah. This is my baby and she
chose me! Her name is Liberty James and she is almost 12 years old now.
Words cannot express the joy she has brought me.
We adopted Missy August 11. What a joy she is to have
around the house. Always full of life and her tail is wagging 100 miles per hour
at all times. She's the most affectionate dog I've ever come across.
In October of 07 my son and I adopted a second German
Shepherd. I have found with many dogs, specifically the working/ herding breeds,
if they don’t have a job they go self employed.
In February of 2008, my husband and I decided that a
dog just might be the kind of medication I needed to battle my depression that I
had been fighting with for a few years.
Saturday, March 8th was an interesting day that started out as "No, you can
not have a guinea pig", "No, you cannot have a SNAKE!". Dad simply stated that
if we were to have another pet it would have to be a cat or a dog.
I had always thought of myself as a cat person. The
only dog I would have ever considered getting was a pug. After months of
searching for a pug, I finally opened my eyes to the hundreds of adorable,
loving and available dogs at the Humane Society.
My Fiance and I got Frankie from the Humane Society
when he was four months old. He was so sweet I was imediatly attracted to him.
We weren't planning on adopting, but we couldn't resist our Frankie.
Several years ago when my husband and I moved to Salt Lake City we
had 2 dogs; Juneau and Hamilton. Shortly after an exhausting move from Florida,
Juneau climbed our fence and ran off.
During the month of July 2007, right out of the blue, I had
this urgent need from deep inside me to add a member to our family in the way of
a puppy.
We adopted Major (Trouble) about a month ago. My two
friends and I had come in to see what large breed puppies the Humane Society
had. The first time I saw Major looking up at me, with those big brown eyes
I knew that he was the dog for us.
My mom and I adopted Lydia
on May 31, 2007. We were looking for a female black lab puppy. We had to
get special permission from my therapist to get a dog because where we live dogs
aren't allowed. So I begged my therapist to write us a note.
