A place to share your stories about the furry friends that the volunteers at Friends for Life rescued from the streets. Because you adopted a dog or cat from us, you made space for us to be able to rescue another dog or cat. You saved two lives the day you adopted from Friends for Life!

Willow aka Kristen
We adopted Willow in March 2015. Originally Willow was our Kennel Buddy. We met her on our very first tour of the shelter during our Orientation for Volunteers. She was adopted that day by another family but was returned 2 weeks later because she didn't get along with the resident dog. We immediately signed up to be her kennel buddy. After many fun outings we did a dog intro with her and our 12 year old Golden Retriever. They got along really well. It became harder and harder to return her to her kennel at the shelter after our outings so we decided to foster her. We took her to only one Saturday Adoption day. My throat felt like it was closing up as I said "good bye" to her. We decided that day that we couldn't let her go and she needed to become a permanent member of our family! She has been so much fun to have in our house. Her favorite time of day is her outings to the neighborhood park to chase her ball!
