BRIDGET (NOW MAGGIE) FINDS THE PERFECT HOME
Sometimes it's just the perfect fit. Maggie certainly fit the bill in her new home and is living the good life with her adopters who love her very much. Read on to see what they have to say about former Shelter resident Bridget

GLADYS BUTTERFLY
Gladys Butterfly really made out well with her new home! When she first arrived at the Shelter she was so scared and confused she wouldn't let anyone touch her. Thank goodness her Guardian Angel found her and took her home.

MACGYVER AND MR T FIND THEIR FOREVER HOME!
MacGyver and Mr T were two kittens from a litter of four. They were lucky enough to get adopted together into the perfect home. Read what their new family has to say about these two adorable kitties...

LUCY-LIFE BY THE OCEAN AND THE MOUNTAINS
Lucy was a wonderful dog and just needed a home where she could play, swim, run and be merry! Lucky for Lucy, wonderful adopters came along and gave her everything she could ever want!

SIOUX-NOW MAIZY SUE!
Sioux wasn't with us for a long time, but we certainly had enough time to see what a great dog she was and she is lucky enough to have found a wonderful home.

IN MEMORY OF JAKE, THE DOG OF A LIFETIME
We just wanted to send this note along to say "thank you" for 7 1/2 years with a wonderful dog. Jake was about 7 or 8 years old in summer 2002 when our daughter, just recently graduated from college, and a group of her college classmates went to work/l

GRANT...NOW BECKER
Grant was adopted as an adorable little puppy. He's certainly grown into an adorable young man, and life is not looking too tough for him....

ATHENA AND LEO
Athena and Leo were adopted into a home where things couldn't be better! They're the best of buds and excellent at sharing! These two cuties are truly part of the family.

BLACKIE
When Blackie arrived at the Shelter she was literally bouncing off the walls. For some dogs, the stress of shelter living, no matter how nice we try to make it, is too much for them. Blackie was definitely a dog that needed to find a home...soon.

TRUMAN
I've been meaning to send you pictures sooner of Truman (we never changed his name) Dave and I adopted him in April of 2008.

PETE
I saw Pete’s face on Sun Valley Online’s ASWRV posting one day in early June 2006. His golden eyes spoke to me…so much so that I went home from work that day and put on my “puppy-dog” eyes for my husband....

GARFIELD
What happens when you love petite, shorthaired female cats, but find yourself fostering a large longhaired male? Well, sometimes a good personality IS more important than looks!

RALF
Ralf is such a great addition to our family. My daughter always wanted a small dog, and I have to admit I wasn't really for it. We already have a black lab, Louie, who is from the shelter as well. Louise doesn't bark, he is great on hikes, never trie

DANA FINALLY GOES HOME!
Dana – now aptly known as “Gabby” – is settling in wonderfully. For a cat who has been housed and relocated in the last 12 months more than any human being would care to be, she is amazingly resilient and comfortable to call any place “home”

BUSTER HELPS OUT ON LOCAL RADIO
Former shelter resident, Buster, a large orange tabby, has found his calling at one of our local radio stations!

CHLOE MOVES TO THE CITY
Chloe, former Shelter dog, is experiencing fresh adventures in her new home in Salt Lake City.

HENNESSEY HANGS WITH HOLLY THE PUG
In our Fall 08 Newsletter, we introduced you to Hennessey and told you a nice couple was considering her for adoption. We are so pleased to be able to tell you Hennessey was adopted in November.

I ADOPTED PEANUT!
Kitten finds new home through the Shelter's partnership with Thunderpaws Pet Store.

SHELTER DOGS IN SERVICE: MISTY
Misty, a Golden Retriever surrendered to the Shelter when she was 18 months old, receives a chance to find a new home and help some troubled teens in the process.

GAMBLER
My dog is "Gambler" and she is a super sweetie pie. Attached is a photo of our recent hike to Kane Lake that you might enjoy. Gambler has been a wonderful addition to my life. I had previously had a pit-mix who passed away. So, I knew I wanted another.
