Adoption Story: Mac & Cheese
We went into the Humane Society with the intention of adopting one kitten, but as soon as we saw Mac & Cheese playing together in their kennel we knew we couldn’t adopt just one. They don’t resemble each other at all and have totally different personalities, but I adore them. Mac is my handsome, affectionate, […]
Adoption Story: Bella
My husband and I had been looking for a dog for several months back in 2017. We checked the Lawrence Humane website almost daily and visited several times to meet dogs we saw online. Our daughter kept telling us we would find our dog — “She’s out there waiting for you,” she would say. One […]
