Success Stories

  • Spike

    I was told Spike was at the shelter for about 2 1/2 years and had gone threw 2 other homes before me, due to him being so skiddish he was always brought back. From the moment I pick him up though he was and is my best friend, it's as though he knew I wasn't going to give up on him. I couldn't imagine my home with out him in it. <3

  • Pinto Beans

    Hello! My Name is Pinto Beans! (Originally just Pinto until my mommy added the Beans!) I just wanted to give everyone at the shelter an update on my new life. I live with Mommy, Daddy, and Oscar Mayer (my older brother who is a weiner dog, Mom calls us Beans & Weiners) I am so happy at my new home and I get LOTS OF LOVE! My mommy spoils me rotten with lots of treats and sweet snuggles. I wake up in the morning and play fight with my brother all day long. Usually we fight over chew chips, sometimes I win and sometimes he does. I LOVE MY CHEW CHIPS!! My favorite thing to do is go for a ride, my mommy calls me her “Co-Pilot”, she thinks I do a great job! I am so thankful that I had Dorothy H. O’Connor take care of me until my mommy came to get me. I am a very lucky boy. Thanks for saving my life!  I often think about my Brother Sprout. Where are you Sprout? I miss you…Sincerely, Pinto Beans

I took her back for her final shots last week, she is now 23 lbs. She is doing great! Thanks you all for taking such good care of the pets while in your care.

  • Snickers

    SnickersThis is " SNICKERS". We adopted him back in 2010. Although he is very hyper and still somewhat destructive when he wants to be, he is still our loveable puppy. He has been a great addition to our family, and we love his spunky attitude. He has learned to love cats, speak, shake, and on occasion jump the fence...lol. He has brought us a lot of memories and still has more to come. Thanks Dorothy O'Connor Pet Adoption Center for helping him be part of our family.
