After pets are adopted from the Aiken County Animal Shelter, staff members follow up to see how they are doing in their new homes. Here is some recent feedback from our adopters.
Scout is learning new tricks
Scout is doing great! He’s a smart dog with plenty of love to share. He picks up on tricks quickly. He’s learned to sit, give paw, “boop” your hand, show his belly, lie down, and wait before eating his food. He goes to the door when he has to go out.

Big Bear is the perfect family member
We changed Mufasa’s name to “Big Bear.” He is the perfect family member! He gets brushed every other day and loves it. He loves giving hugs and kisses. He comes up and nestles his head on you while you’re sitting on the couch. He came potty trained! He is very protective of our new grand baby and also of me. I have taught him a few tricks as well. He is so spoiled and loved. He is the sweetest guy, and I love him dearly.

Pair of kittens find mentor in older cat
Tallahassee and Virginia are doing amazing! Our older cat took to them immediately and has been great showing them the ropes of cat life. They love playing with my toddler and watching Hot Wheels cars race, which my toddler thinks is the greatest thing ever.

Patrick loves cuddling the kids and going to bed on time
Patrick has our schedule down pat. He even gets a bit judgmental when we don’t go to bed at the usual time and stands at the top of the stairs staring at me. He takes cuddling with the kids very seriously LOL. He also loves to watch the birds out the window rather than actually going outside to watch them. Silly boy! Adopting him has been the best thing we could have done.

Parker & Skye are besties in their new home
Parker and Skye have quickly made themselves at home. Skye is fussy about taking her heartworm medication, but other than that no complaints. They enjoy going on long walks, car rides, weekly showers and being dried off with a warm towel, eating at restaurants, and trips to Chick-fil-A on Fridays to split an ice cream. They’ve made the perfect addition to our family. Skye has taught Parker a great deal, and he is much more confident with her at his side. I cannot put into words how thankful I am that I got both of them together.
