Success Stories
"Toby is a 7 year old Beagle that is so sweet and loving.
Toby’s dad passed away and she was brought to our humane
society along with her Basset Hound brother whom was in and
out of the facility quickly. Toby is a wonderful girl but
her heart was broken; she lost her human and her safe place.
The Alcona Humane Society, though clean and welcoming, is a
very stressful place for animals to have to adapt to. The
barking dogs and many new faces make it difficult to relax
and it takes time to fully adjust to the environment and
trust staff. Toby was lonely after her Basset Hound brother
left; we noticed she stopped eating as much and slept more
and more. A daughter saw Toby on Facebook and contacted her
parents right away. Her parents rescued older dogs. Even
though Toby isn’t elderly, she needed a quick and loving
home. Toby’s soon to be new siblings came to meet her and
they all fell in love. Toby is doing wonderful in her new
home and is quite active. This family was the perfect match
for not only Toby, but Bear as
well. Not even a week later,
Bear, a 15 year old Black Lab was surrendered to us. Bear
had hearing and seeing problems but that didn’t stop him! He
is extremely energetic and also fell in love quickly with
Toby and his other dog siblings! The same family saw Bear on Facebook and just had to have him! They adopted Bear at our
latest Bissell Empty the Shelters event! Many thanks and
love!"
