Success Stories Macie, a beautiful black cat with stunning green
eyes, gave birth to four healthy kittens within a few days of arriving at DCHS. She went to a foster home where she could raise her babies in peace and quiet. Macie’s kittens were adopted as soon as they reached adoptable age. Macie, on the other hand, waited patiently for her new home. The wait paid off. She is doing well, “talking”

with her new family, playing with toys and eating anything she can get her paws on. Life is good, says Macie.
Sweets
is a young adult Border Collie mix that was
overwhelmed and nervous when she arrived at the shelter. She found a home shortly after her arrival, but came back to us because she was too nervous in her home. Sometimes it takes more than one adoption to find that just-right fit and such was the case with Sweets. Another

couple had been charmed by her when she was on hold for her first adoption, and when they discovered she was available again, they rushed in. It was a perfect
match: the couple had an older Lab that made an excellent teacher for shy Sweets. Today, her family tells us she fits her name: a sweatheart that loves to cuddle!
Pippa is an 11-year-old Thoroughbred/Paint cross mare. She was one of seven horses surrendered to the
shelter when their owner lost his farm and could no longer care for them. We worried that finding a home for Pippa would be difficult because she was blind in her left eye. But our worries did not last long. A woman fell in love with her, adopted her and had her vet surgically remove Pippa’s eye to make her more comfortable. Pippa had not been

handled much, but she was docile. Although her canter is choppy, she has a very pretty trot. Her new owner is patient, and together they have made great progress!
