ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY: Say Hello to Hambone

by Leave a Comment

From wandering the streets of Philadelphia, to relaxing comfortably in his forever, Hambone has truly experienced his version of a Cinderella Story.

His forever-family writes:

“I’m the lucky guy who adopted Hambone. He is an awesome addition to our house as it has helped my wife and I get out on walks and runs and explore some of the wooded areas near us. He is loving his new home as there is plenty of room for him as well as a big back yard for him to relax in as the weather gets warmer. Other than that he has gotten a plethora of new toys to dig into as well as his very own bed that he drags around the house with him to take his naps. We have also met a few dogs that belong to family members as well as gone to a few dog parks to socialize. I’ll be sure to keep in touch and stop by providenceAC for a visit.”

We are proud to partner with local shelters in need to be able to offer homeless pets like Hambone a fresh start at finding forever, and incredibly thankful for families like this who help make a homeless pet’s happily-ever-after become a reality!

Adoptable Pet: Say Hello to Morris

by Leave a Comment

Meet Morris, a tall, handsome, young guy who loves everyone he meets!  At about 2 years old, Morris loves to play catch, take walks, and cuddle. He’s a fun, silly, guy who could live with another friendly dog and even a kitty as long as they are given some time to get to know each other. He is also living with a little girl in his foster home who has quickly become his little buddy. He is a huge fan of chew toys and toys in general – he really is just a fun loving guy! He is housetrained, walks well on the leash, and his foster-home reports: “Morris is probably best described as a giant puppy! He is very sweet, silly, playful, energetic and has lots of puppy-like tendencies. She said that he can be mouthy and excitable at times, but is very sweet and eager to learn!” He weighs about 70 pounds, is already neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, and micro-chipped and is ready to find his forever family! If you have more questions about Morris or would like to meet him, please email an adoption application to Foster@ProvidenceAC.org.

Adoption Success Story: Say Hello to Phantom

by 1 Comment

When homeless pets are with us for some time before they find their perfect match, a special bond is formed between them and their human caregivers here at the Center – which makes it that much sweeter when we receive updates like this one from Phantom’s family:

“It’s so nice of you to reach out and see how things are going. Phantom is doing great; he is such an amazing dog. I think he just needed a place where he felt safe and loved because it is like night and day from the day, we took him home now. The first few weeks of having him really scared me and had me questioning what the hell I got myself in too, He would growl and bark at everyone on the streets and when someone new walked into our house. Since having adopted him he has done quite a bit of exploring and playing. His has a new buddy named Tug, who is my parents’ dog also a boxer! They get along great Phantom still likes to play a bit rough, but we are working on that. He has been down to the jersey shore playing in the sand and water. We also enjoy taking him on hikes Sunday mornings followed but a bath at the local pet value (PS. I have never seen a dog enjoy bath time as he does) as he likes to play in the creeks! All in all, he is a great dog with such a loving personality. We love him a lot and will continue to try and work on his means of playing with others!”

Thank you for providing Phantom with the happily-ever-after that he and all homeless pets deserve! Phantom’s Fan Club here at Providence is sending lots of love your family’s way!

ADOPTABLE PET: Say Hello to Birdie

This beautiful girl is Birdie! Birdie is a six year-young dream doggie-companion – she is good with human company of any age, most dogs, and already has all of her up-to-date vaccinations, is spayed, and microchipped! Not only that, but she has done well with crating and is really just looking for a spot where she can lay in a comfy dog bed and keep herself entertained with stuffed toys. Sounds pretty great, right? A very generous lifesaver sponsored Birdie’s adoption fee – which means that she can go home with you for free! To make Birdie a part of your family, visit Providence Animal Center, in Media to meet her and all of her furry friends!
