We adopted Walle a year ago yesterday and he has been amazing! He has the funniest personality and is extremely loving. He greats us with some loud howls when we come home and we've come to love it. He's become a HUGE part of the family, he's gotten to be good pals with my friends, and while dad's away, he's the man of the house.

Lacy formaly known as Ida has got to be the most loyal animal I have ever owned she follows me everywhere I go. When I take here on runs she runs ahead and wilo wait by the trail for me to catch up. She is a cuddle bug and has been nothing but a joyous thing in my life. I just want to take the time to thank you for allowing me to adopt her. She was origianlly thought to be a problem dog who had behavior problems and problems being around other dogs and that is just not hte case. She is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I never thought that I would have a dog- being allergic to most of them. My husband gifted me the chance to pick out any dog I wanted for Christmas. I told him I would only adopt a dog. I did all the research and kept looking on your site for a dog that wouldn't kill my allergies. I saw Sue, now Priscilla (aka,Prissy)on your site and I thought that She was the most adorable dog I had ever seen. It was through the error of one of the CCAS employees that she ended up in my arms that day. I adopted her that day and I couldn't be happier. Her little underbite stole my heart. She is my baby and she has yet to meet a person she doesn't like. Thank you so very much for helping me to find a dog that needed a friend just as much as I did.

My parents adopted Anna in 2007 as a birthday present. I had wanted a husky for 3 years and was checking this site every day, then Anna showed up and even though she's not full husky she stole my heart. I couldn't have asked for a better gift EVER! She's my baby girl and I love her with all my heart. I've had people come up to me (so has my sister) and asked if she was for sale, some even offered money for her right away.
But I could never ever sell her for as long as I live!
Thanks for the amazing dog!!!

My boyfriend Tony and I adopted Lou from CCAS nearly 2 years ago when he was only 1 month old. I immediately fell in love with him, he was the cutest thingy with his big floppy ears. He is our baby boy and we don't know what we would do without him, although somedays he does keep us busy. We love him anyways and wouldn't have it any other way.

We adopted Tootsie (fka Godiva) in 2006. We got her at 9 months old. My favorite characteristic of hers is her ears; the right one is always up and the left is always down. We think that is part of what makes her so adorable. She is the perfect mix of fun, playfulness, cuddles, and love. We love her very much and are so blessed to have her as part of our family.

Since that time he has learned to get along with my cat (another adoptee from the Lewiston Animal Shelter) and now the two are the closest of friends.

We saw "Gunner" who is now named Riley on your website in early December 2009 and came into the shelter to look at him and introduce him to our lab, Holly. Riley is the sweetest, most loving, gentle, and best companion for us and our other lab that we could have found. He has been so much fun to have around and we can't wait to get him started into the companion program as well as obedience training. We are so happy to have him as part of our family. We hope that the family who left him at your shelter reads this and knows that he has a good home and will have a happy life with us. He has 5 acres to run and another lab to keep him company. Riley is the best Christmas gift to our hearts. Here he is on the right with our other lab. They became good friends right off the bat.

We lost Spanky our yorkie in June of 2009 from old age, and it took some time to get over his passing. He had a good life and he wouldn't want us to be lonely and he knew we had lots of love to give. I found Howl on Pet Finder from Canyon County Animal Shelter. My husband wanted me to find one closer since we live in Bonney Lake, Washington. But I showed him Howls picture and he was worried that he would be gone when we got there, but we had to try and drove all night to get there in the morning. Well it was ment to be and he has brought much love and happiness to our home. We were going to rename him but nothing stuck, until one day I heard him, the funniest little howl, and with a good laugh and smile I knew that his name was perfect. I am greatful to all the people at this shelter you are all Angels and I think that Spanky and Howl would say so too!

After having our little blue heeler for a few months we knew she needed a friend.. We found Riddick (rottweiler/german shepard mix) at ccas and fell in love with him, despite his size he is the gentlest, most mild dog we've ever known, he guards us ( and our heeler)well but loves people and other dogs..So glad we found him, and he tolerates the heeler's energy very well!!!

We walked into CCAS on 2/13/08 only to find a woman standing there w/the cutest little tan dog. I found out that Carrie was the foster mom to this dog & that she was up for adoption. We fell in love immediately & adopted her on the spot & brought her home the next day 2/14. It was like we were meant to meet. Carrie was calling her Lady, but we changed it to "Sandi Mae". Sandi's wag is different, when she's excited her tail goes in circles, so we're always waiting for her back end to lift off like a helicopter. She loves our lab Valley Jean & our cat Cuddlebutt Marie. We feel extremely lucky that we walked in right when Carrie was there with her as she couldn't be a better addition to our family.

We adopted "FREEWAY" a little over 2 months ago from CCAS.
She was brought in after being found on I-84 as a little 1lb kitten.
She was a feisty little ball of spunk that loved everything, and she quickly won over our hearts.
Freeway has now become the Queen of the house, and rules over her two dogs, guinea pig and many reptiles. She is still trying very hard to get her foster brother Boo to like her, to no avail.
Her favorite activity is sitting by one of my daughters cricket containers and watching "bug central" until she dozes off...
She has a permanent spot here with our family and we are lucky to be in the presence of a Queen ( or so she thinks )...LOL

We adopted Lily (fka "Norma") a little over a year ago. At first, she was timid and nipped at everyone, but we were patient and set loving limits for her, and now she is so much fun! She is still jealous of the rest of the "family" (other dogs), though very good with children!

We adopted Bailey (and kept her name) the last of October, and she has entertained us ever since. She was shaking and very timid when we brought her home--she would barely venture off the living room rug! Now Bailey has the run of the house, and especially loves our waterbed. She runs like a deer and sleeps through the night. Everybody thinks Bailey is the cutest dog they have ever seen, and they are right!

We adopted Xandyr (said Zander)first known as Killer, in November and we have loved him ever since. He is truly our "Marley" like you see on the movie. He is always curious and busy and into everything that you can imagine. He keeps us entertained on a daily basis. He loves to play and run, but also loves to be on the couch in your lap giving kisses. He is an amazing dog and gets along well with everyone and every animal. We have an older bigger dog and they are friends but he is truly best buds with our 2 month old pomchi. She fights with him and gives him a run for his money. We love him so much and are so glad he is in our family. He is truly our child and are blessed to have found him. We are excited to see him grown and watch him change and grow into his personality. He is a joy everyday:)

We adopted Buster (FKA Butler) in October and couldn't have asked for a more perfect addition to our family. Buster and my teenage son are completely devoted to each other. If they are not running around the park playing fetch they are curled up on the sofa enjoying quiet time. My only regret is that we waited over three months after first
seeing Buster on-line to adopt him. Thank-you CCAS for taking such good care of Buster while he waited patiently for his forever home.

Although waking up to purring and having my face licked at 4 am isn't always great he has been the perfect addition to our family. He keeps the dogs (3yr old German Sheperd, 1 yr old Pit Bull, 11yr old Dachsund) in line and lets them know who really rules this house.

I had been begging my husband to agree to adopt a companion for our pound puppy "Chopper". I looked at the CCS Website daily and saw "Sparkle" online. She was adorable. I had to go see her! Her picture didn't do her justice. We should have known she would be a wild one when we were filling out the paper work for the adoption, she was barking at everyone (she was only 4 months old then). She is still spunky and keeps us all young. She makes us smile and my husband is so happy he gave into adopting another pound puppy.
