After pets are adopted from the Aiken County Animal Shelter, staff members follow up to see how they are doing in their new homes. Here is some recent feedback from our adopters.
Shy Maine Coon kitten proving to be extremely snuggly
Just wanted to update you on Wesley (now Murphy), the orange Maine Coon. He’s doing so well! He hid for the first several days but has started to come out and socialize a bit and he’s probably one of the most snuggly and affectionate kittens I’ve ever seen. We haven’t introduced him to our other cats yet, but he’s getting more comfortable with my husband and I. We are so grateful that you guys waited for us to get there – he’s an awesome addition to our family!

Blue-eyed Ocean benefitted from her fostering
Ocean is doing well and we love her. She loves toys and she loves our cat! Please let her foster mom know we will take good care of her.

Loving Lola is coming out of her shell
Lola is happy and healthy! She loves hard bones, playing rope and being with me! My partner and I keep saying look at how happy she is. We are in Maryland now and the weather is getting cold! She has a coat or two that she loves! From the first week to now, she’s been opening up and doing more. I’m so happy that Lola and I found one other.

Selene is training to be a service dog
Selene is doing amazing! She’s with me 24/7 as she’s in training to be a service dog. Everyone is amazed at how calm and well behaved she is despite her young age. She’s taken everything pretty naturally. Her name now is Riga.

Victory sleeps on the nearest person or animal
Jasmine, who we have renamed Victory, has been a phenomenal addition to the family. Within five minutes of getting her home, she became instant best friends with our other dogs. She does have moments where she chases cats because they’re interesting to her, but that is decreasing. She is a big cuddler, always laying down on whoever is on the couch or bed. And taking a nap on everyone – humans, dogs, or even cats.

River is a love bug, even with the cats
Little Girl, who is now named River, is doing wonderfully and has settled in well. She is the most affectionate love bug with her people, and is getting along well with our cats.

The County Shelter has many wonderful pets just like these desperately waiting for loving homes. This Saturday, Feb. 11, we are having a special event to help you find your furry Valentine. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., we’ll be serving Mocktails & Pawderves. Dog adoptions will be only $14 and we’re even going to feature a doggie kissing booth. Stop by 333 Wire Road in Aiken, SC, and let our adoption counselors help you find your perfect match!
Their lives are in our hands.
