Happy Tails
This is where you'll find photos of recently adopted dogs, cats, and small animals.
Plus, photos of CCHS adoption alums, happy in their homes!
Thank you for supporting the shelter as an adopter, donor, volunteer, sponsor, social media follower, and friend. However it is you help this organization, you helped ensure their "tails" had happy endings.
Flopsy
If you've never had a rabbit before, you might be surprised to learn how feisty and independent they can be! That's certainly true of Flopsy, a young rabbit who recently found her home. At the shelter, one word kept coming up over, and over, and over again about Flopsy: playful!
We're so glad her new family takes her playtime seriously! They are giving her plenty of freedom to roam safely and are enjoying all of her friendly antics. "Flopsy is an absolute joy to have... She gets the zoomies and then flops (literally) and lays down to rest," her new family shared, along with this fun video.
We love to see a "hoppy" rabbit, adapting well to a new home!
Ryo (Majesty)
If you remember our posts about "Majesty", you'll be happy to hear this update. Her name is Ryo now, and she's happily home. Ryo (Majesty) was a long-term dog, living with us at the shelter since last Fall. Staff loved her, with multiple team members awarding her a "Staff Favorite" write up. She had visitors, but whether it was a tough appearance, general kennel presence (the way pets behave when confined vs. when they're free to explore), or the adopter simply made a connection with another pet, Ryo didn't find her family. Until she did.
Thank you for making Ryo "the one", and for sharing your experience with adoption!
And thank you to all of the CCHS friends who helped share her profile, from WCIA and Illinois Media Group, to the hundreds of Facebook followers who shared and tagged friends over the course of a half dozen posts. We hope you're as happy as we are to see Ryo home.
Bonus
Bonus has come a long way from the stray he was last November! "Everything has been going great with Bonus! He had gotten pretty used to his new environment and coming out of his shell," according to his new owners. And we're glad to hear it, because Bonus had a bumpy start here. He was adopted but returned to the shelter two times before finding his current home. Bonus needed a little extra TLC and patience to adjust to a home, and we're glad we were here to give him the love and medical care he needed for his FIV while he waited for his perfect fit.
We are so happy for him, and we hope that he finally found his person. He deserves to lounge around, without a care in the world!
Graycie Bubbles
According to her new family: "Graycie Bubbles has settled in nicely. She is very sweet and has made herself at home. [She's] already a good little friend!" We knew she would be, and we're so glad she's settling in.
At the shelter, she was a staff favorite, with Terri writing "Bubbles is a sweet lady who would love to have a home and family of her own to spoil and admire her...She would thrive in a quiet home with soft cat beds and windows to watch the world go by."
Looks like she's getting her chance to thrive ❤️
