Share your Tails of Joy

Kovu

I adopted Kovu for my girlfriend who was way more of a cat person than I was at the time I got him, and I fell in love with him. He’s already made us happy and gave us a lot of memories in just 3 months.

Daisy Mae (nee Millie)

We adopted Daisy Mae (Millie at PHS) back in July of 2023. She was just a puppy toddler and has grown into the cleverest silliest girl. We could not be more happy that she came into our lives! She is learning all kinds of things and has a love for playing games! Thank you!

Malt

We adopted Malt last Friday. She is amazing. Only went potty in house once and sleeps all night. She is used to her furry brother already🥰

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🥰

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!

Jasmine

I got jasmime a few months ago and its been amazing she is very playful and loving i love having her in our home

Zeus

He has been the best dog! He made losing our beloved Bodee and little easier by being the best friend we all missed.

His name was Holiday at the shelter, we changed it to Zee Bee because he looks like a zebra

We had two beautiful cats for 18 years. Our family moved to Gering NE from Boston Massachusetts. We all made the long trip by car including our beloved cats. We were just like pioneers! Our cats seemed ok though out the journey, they had a great time exploring the hotels we stayed at along the way. When we got to our new home, about 3 months later they both got sick. It was so terrible. After 18 years we had to say goodbye. We loved them just as if they were our sons… then my Mom died. December was a very tough month this year. In any case I was watching tv and saw a commercial featuring a cat in need of adoption at the panhandle humane society. He was so cute, in my deepest sadness I somehow managed to contact the shelter and arrange a visit. It was love at first sight! The wonderful lady Andrea told me he was so afraid when he arrived at the shelter, and she took time daily to pet him and ease his fears. I brought him home and he’s provided my family so much happiness! This was a long story and I apologize. Just wanted the staff at the shelter and everyone else to know how much this little kitty has helped us!

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. ♡

Princess

Princess Paisley has trained her humans well. She enjoys a life of chasing birds and bunnies, napping on the couch, and having fun farm adventures. She is a good exercise buddy and loves to play. Thank you PHS for our new friend and family member. 🐾

Willow

 She spends most of her time just chillaxin! She's a very mellow gal!

Honey

I adopted Honey in July of 2016. Her previous owner had tied her to the fence where you all put recycling items. He/she left a can of cat food for her with a note that said, “her name is Honey.” She was frightened and when she was untied from the fence, ran out into Beltline. I am so thankful she didn’t get hit! She didn’t do well at the Humane Society so a wonderful foster mom kept her at her house. You all put her picture on Facebook with her story. I knew I wanted to adopt her. I met the wonderful foster mom at the Humane Society and adopted her. She is my best friend and cuddle buddy. I love her so much and I am so thankful to you all for taking wonderful care of her until I could come and get her.

Malt aka Malty aka Peanut

How lucky we are to have this little Peanut in our family. She's right at home🥰

Teddy

I just got my cat and hes pretty shy. He has an abscess on the side of his face and no collar. I dont want him getting hurt or anything i just want my baby back please:(

Sedrick

It is an absolute joy to have him in our lives. He is the best dog we could have asked for...so well behaved and so so sweet and goofy!!! 

Ruger

Ruger our big big baby now we adopted from you all 2 years ago this October!

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. ❤️

Malty

Malty Mae AKA Malt She's a wonder dog, it's like she's been here for years🥰🥰🥰

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 (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!!

Kona Bean

We adopted our Kona Bean (known as Ebony at the Humane Society) in July 2020 and she was only 3 months old. She has such a sweet, gentle personality but lives to play! She absolutely loves her family and her family loves her.

Daisy

We adopted Daisy aka Pumpkin Pie in September of 2023. She was a very fun and playful puppy! She's grown so fast and fit right in with our crew. Thanks Panhandle Humane Society!

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.
