Happy Tales

Tell us your story!

Finding a furry friend is a magical moment. Our new companions bring such joy to our lives. If you've adopted an animal from Furry Friends and would like to tell us your happy tale, we would like to share it here. E-mail your story (and pictures too) to happytales@furryfriendsshelter.org.
