An animal can bring so much love and happiness to your life. Just ask the people profiled in these adoption stories. They took one look at those big brown eyes, floppy ears or stubby tails and entered the special world of pet ownership – a world that’s brought them many rewards and discoveries.

Read about their experiences. See the joy they’ve found in bringing a new friend into their homes from Harbor Humane Society.

If you have adopted from us and would like to share your adoption story on our website, please email office@harborhumane.org and include a photo of your new pet as well. Sharing your positive adoption stories will help others choose adoption first for their new pet. Thank you!

Chloe and Shay
(formerly known as Casey and Chanel)

We adopted two beautiful kittens from you, and these two are the best thing we could ever ask for! I am a war veteran (Iraq) and I often have a lot of periods of feeling down and out, but these two have fixed that with their love and energy. Shay is the wild one, always playing and talking! She loves to follow me around and lay next to me sprawled out when I am sleeping. Chloe is very affectionate and follows Erika like a brown shadow! She still has a very soft meow, but it's cute!!

These animals have become our family. They have loads of toys and gets loads of affection. They have given me something I haven't had since I came home from the war overseas... a purpose!! I will forever be in debt to you all for the awesome gifts you have allowed us to have.


Thank you, Harbor!!!!!

Musetta
(formerly known as Josephine)

A blessed event has occurred in our family, we just adopted a wonderful cat from The Harbor Humane Society. Her past was clouded with mistreatment, but she still has a loving, sweet disposition. Formally known as Josephine, by the Humane Society, she is now named Musetta. She replaced our 20 year old cat, Spartina. Musetta had big paws to fill, but she has already captured our hearts.
Thank you,
Chuck and Shirley

 


Toby
(formerly known as Orcus)

We adopted Toby as a six month old kitten. We originally had planned on a younger kitten but a staff member introduced us to Toby. At first he looked like an ordinary white cat with a striped tail and then we saw his blue eyes - turns out he is a flame point Siamese and the best cat we have ever had! I know we saved his life and in return we have been rewarded as well! We had recently had to euthanize our twelve year old cat - due to cancer. Once Toby moved in we moved on and this is a story that has a happy ending. . .
