Post Story
Bailey and Bear
We adopted Bailey (Bluetick Coonhound) in August of 2019 and Bear (Australian Shepherd) in March of 2020 and both have been an absolute blessing to our family. Bailey almost immediately adjusted perfectly to our life and while Bear has still taken a while to adjust, he has come so amazingly far and we are so proud of both of them! We love both of our fur babies and couldn't imagine our home without them!
Malty (Malt)
We adopted Malt(Malty) right before Easter. She's right at home, seems likes she's been here for years. She knows the doggie door, it wasn't hard for her to learn. She loves playing with her toys and her brother Pete❤️❤️❤️
Tucker
We adopted Tucker in August 2019. He was 8 weeks old and his name was Rozier. Today he’s a BIG boy and just the best! He’s lovable and goofy. Love him to the moon and back! Thank you Panhandle humane society!!

Avery
My baby girl was very scared when I adopted her from PHS 4 years ago! She is happy and healthy today and has basically aged backwards! I am completely in love with her and watching her transformation from scared catatonic to silly goose has been the most amazing thing🥰
Harley
We did not directly adopt Harley from the HS, but from the lady who did and was not able to keep him. We got Harley as a small pup and he has turned into a giant love bug. He loves cuddles with his doxie sister and chasing our daughter around. He greets you with love every time you walk in the door!
Malty
Malty Mae AKA Malt She's a wonder dog, it's like she's been here for years🥰🥰🥰
Annie formerly Tootie
Annie has been a get addition to my family. Surprisingly she remembered Rex and was real excited to see him again and of course they ran around like they had been together all their lives. Annie is like velcro but that’s an Aussie trait which I love. The new addition was a very smart thing and love having her here.
Gingerbread/Ginger
We adopted Gingerbread in December 2023 when we were searching for another addition to our home. She has become a perfect fit with our other two cats. We love her so much and are so thankful to PHS. ♡
Gus and Oliver
These two amazing kitties entered our lives in July 2021, where they charmed us and we could not resist taking them home. These brothers are the best of friends and have adjusted well to their lifestyle of lounging, playing, and snuggling with us each night after work. They love their domain and new kitty tower. We absolutely adore our new best friends and are so grateful to PHS for allowing us to find them. ❤️
