Star-Lord
Here are a few special adoptions throughout the month:
Star-Lord – Star-Lord was transferred from a local partnering shelter due to a severe fracture of his right tibia/fibula. After his amputation, Star-Lord became a big bundle of energy! He was transferred around our three adoption locations but didn’t have any potential adopters. After four months of shelter living, Star-Lord found his forever home and SHS is so happy to see him go home with an awesome support system and three human friends who can keep him busy.
Woody – Since arriving at SHS, Woody was placed in foster care as he recovered from a severe upper respiratory infection. Now he is #happyandhealthy! Woody found his forever family at the adoption center in PetSmart Northpointe. Woody is FIV+. FIV, short for Feline immunodeficiency virus, is a retrovirus infection. While FIV is not spread through passive contact (clothes, environment, respiratory secretions), it is spread through saliva (cat-to-cat play/fight interactions, biting, scratching, blood contamination). FIV cannot be transmitted to dogs. Cats that are FIV+ can still live long, healthy lives!
See Saw
Dozer Dude – This adorable boy first arrived at SHS back in October of 2022, over a year later he finally found his forever home this January. Dozer Dude required a home with no young children, no cats, and no small dogs. These limitations held Dozer back from potential adopters, but SHS is so thankful he finally found the perfect family.
See Saw – This sweet girl was in foster care for three months awaiting a dental procedure. Her procedure was completed at VCA Animal Hospital thanks to SHS’s generous donors. After a month of recovery, See Saw found her forever family!
