Dog Adoption Stories
Dog Adoption Stories
Our team takes great pride in giving back to our community. We are extremely active in donating our time to dog adoption and increasing its awareness. Through the numerous years of our involvement, we have many of our own dog adoption stories that we are very happy to share with you.

Kobi's Adoption Story
"Kobi was a rescue from the South. He came up for “Super Dog Adoption Day” a few years back as a puppy and was the star of the show. We believe he is a Shepherd / Bernese mix. He is the typical goofy 70-pound lap dog. I had no intentions of adopting another rescue that day but there was no way of walking out without him! He always makes you smile and lights up the world with his always wagging tail."

Shelby's Adoption Story
"Shelby was a rescue from Southern Virginia. She was found in a dumpster along with her sister at 5 weeks old. I saw her on Pet Finder one night and it was love at first sight. I called the next day and made all the arrangements and then jumped in the car for the 9-hour drive. Thankfully she was a great car puppy for the 9-hour drive back home. We believe she is a shepherd/collie mix. She is always by my side and has a way of jumping into my bed with her "stealth mode". You never see her or feel her jump in, but you will turn your head and she is sharing your pillow!"

Bella's Adoption Story
"Bella was a rescue from a pet store. She had been there for months and was ill. I adopted her for my Samoyed who was in a depressed state due to the passing of my Malamute. Bella's spirit did the trick and all was right in the world again. Bella is an Australian Shepherd and is the most devoted dog I have ever owned. She will never leave your side and always listens to everything you say. She is now 13 years old and has become the matriarch of our pack."
Jessica DiNapoli

Sadie Rose
Sue Ann rescued Sadie Rose from Texas when the litter of three were abandoned in a deserted street. A local saw the box of pups and brought them to safety until they could be transported to Rhode Island, via Wiley’s Rescue. Sadie is one lucky pup to be able to get an early start in “house life” rather than living on the streets down south. She has brought much joy to the household since loosing their last pup after 14 years. Welcome Sadie Rose to the Votta Homestead.
