    Ferris (Felix, now) plays fetch! It's the funniest thing ever. As you know I came to Happy Tales with my son (who adopted a cat named Siobhan) and I had no intention of adopting, but Felix "stared" me down until I held him. He still climbs into my lap and stares at me. What a joy. Now...

    We adopted Dash many years ago in September 2006. He is the best dog- only thing he does wrong is scratch us for more petting. He loves to chase squirrels and rabbits in the backyard. We are so happy he is part of our family. When we adopted him, Dash had been at Happy Tales for about 3 weeks. Our...

    Our beloved Max died in September and we have been missing him so much. He was such a blessing to our home. Our grandchildren loved him so much and they miss him too. He was perfect for our family and the grandchildren had so much fun with "Maxie". Well, that's where this story comes...

    Just a note to let you know that Suzie (Gracie) plays all day and sleeps very well at night. Essie (Ellie) is a lap sitter/lover. Big brother Blu still hisses a lot but there is no sign he will hurt the sisters. He actually seems jealous that he can't do flips like Suzie (Gracie). These are the...

    Jovi has been with us for just about a month now and he and my two other dogs, Atlas & Presley are one big happy family as you can see by the photo. They play together, sleep together and have eveyone in the neighborhood wrapped around their paws.

    Thank you so much for all of your help with Sundae!  She is doing GREAT!  She is so happy and loves her new home.  She and Pepper are getting along perfectly!  He seems like such an old man compared to her....she wears him out (which is a good thing)!

    Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that Ranee (Radar/Radine) is doing well.  She has a skill I'm not sure she knew she had.  She runs really fast and then jumps high in the air while swinging her back legs to the side.  Kind of like she's jumping and kicking...

    It was the first week of 2011, and Miss Dolly was sitting at animal control, watching everyone pass her by for the cute kittens. Until Happy Tales Humane.

    I adopted Lincoln in 2003.  He had been at Happy Tales for more than a year because of his serious biting problem—he tried to nail me the first time we met, in fact!  Like many declawed cats, he had become paranoid and untrusting.  For the first year we were together I only...

    Thanks for contacting us! He's fitting in great, we actually named him Solomon, it just came to us. It took a few days for them to get accustomed to each other, but they're doing good now, they're playing together fine without either getting upset. I'm going to attach some...

    How can I thank you for the gift of this 7lb bundle of boundless feline energy named Marco! He is so incredibly sweet and is adjusting well to his new home. Sometimes when I pet him, he drools in delight! He sleeps in the bed with me and Beau every night.

    They are doing great! Humphrey is a very friendly and talkative guy; he’s especially loud at night! He’s like a big teddy bear. Bentley is warming up and is definitely an adventurer. He’s not as skittish as most Siamese cats, but he’s still a little bit nervous. He doesn...

    Goo Goo is awesome! She is sooo laid back but yet she still plays too! Wes and I both love her dearly.
  • 05/10/2010
    She is definitely a social dog. She just wants to be everyone's friend. At her PetsMart training classes, the trainer calls her the social butterfly of the class.
  • 05/10/2010
    I couldn't have asked for a more perfect companion! But after all, she is the one who picked me!
