Welcome to Shelter Pet Stories!
This site is dedicated to shelter pets who have been overlooked by potential adopters for one reason or another. It may be because they are older, have health issues, or maybe they are multiples that need to be adopted together. Whatever the reason may be, I want to showcase these pets so you can see how wonderful they are, with the hopes of finding them a new forever home.
If you run a shelter or rescue organization and have pets that have been overlooked time and time again, I would love to help you promote these wonderful animals. Please email me at submissions@shelterpetstories.com for more information.

Sugar was found wandering around loose and no one came to claim her. She is an older girl at about 10 yr old, she is active and loves to go for walks but she enjoys just hanging out as well, she is a great companion dog.

Blue – RI59-162, Black Lab, Warwick Animal Shelter, Warwick RI
Blue is a very sweet older gal at 9 yrs old. She likes to walk and is crate trained. She is fairly calm and likes companionship. She is not happy being in the shelter . Blue was diagnosed with a trachial disease which often effects older dogs. The trachea swells making it difficult to breathe, this disease is progressive but can be controlled with anti-inflammatory drugs. Blue is on prednisone (which is very inexpensive) every other day and seems to be doing better; she will need to be on it for the rest of her life,she cannot go for long walks and needs to be in an air conditioned area when it gets real hot out. Blue is looking for a home to live her last years in, someone who is interested in giving an old gal comfort for the time she has left. She is not a big fan of other dogs, if they ignore her she seems to leave them alone but she has no interest in interacting with them and if they get in her face she’ll let them know it Please call (401) 468-4377 to learn more about me, or send an email to Maggie!

Urgent-Kit-Kat RI59-71, Domestic Short Hair-Black, Warwick Animal Shelter, Warwick, RI
Kit Kat has been at the shelter for a long time. She doesn’t like other cats so that is the first strike against her. She is an all black cat and that is strike two because black cats are generally looked over when potential adoptors visit the shelter. She does have one thing going for her. She is a super sweetie and a real charmer. Note from one of the caretakers – “I visited her today and she was hiding out in a cabinet sleeping on a bunch of towels. She came right out to see me and wanted to sit in my lap.” All the shelter workers keep telling her she will get a home but nothing has happened. She is too nice of a kitty to sit in the shelter day in and day out. Could you give Kit Kat a home?
