SUCCESS STORIES
Dugan

 

Dugan

Dugan had been at the shelter for months. He is finally in his new home and is being loved so much!

 
Ditka and Butkus

 

Ditka and Butkus

Here are Ditka and Butkus, brothers from another mother, but best friends. Both were brought to RIAC&C as puppies, neglected and/or abused by their previous "owners". Only 5 months separates their respective ages and they are inseparable. Here they are watching their favorite show, Pit Bulls & Parolees while snuggling on the couch!

 
Ivy

 

Ivy

Thanks for letting us Adopt one of the brown tiger kittens! Her ID was 11-3375. Our son has elected to name her Ivy, because she climbs all over the place. She's a great fit with our other 4 yr old female cat Bella. They love chasing each other and playing laser tag. Thanks a bunch :) !

 
Mischa

 

Mischa

Mischa was in rough shape, both mentally and physically when she was found roaming on the highway. Considering her state, the staff at the Rock Island Animal shelter thought it was best not to put her on the adoption floor, but look for a rescue organization that would take her.

Fortunately for Mischa, a wonderful person heard of Mischa through a mutual customer of a local Vet and the rest is history.   Mischa went from waiting for someone to give her  a chance to being the beloved pet of her devoted owner.  Mischa spends her days by her owner’s side as a trusted companion.   You can find her on Saturday mornings with her owner at the Farmer’s Market.   She has gained weight and loves other dogs and children   Mischa’s  story is a great example of how understanding and patience make all the difference to an animal in need.

 
Delaney

 

Delaney

Delaney was a special gal! What a doll! She WAS a stray and now is...."THE BOSS"!!!! Gotta love it!

It's been 5 days now since I adopted Delaney from the RICAS and everything is fantastic. She acts like she's been in charge here forever lol. loves to take me for walks and I am so happy with her as a major part of my family. She's the best !!!

 
Princess

 

Princess

Once I was a Princess, I was given the name.
In a kingdom of love, family and play.

I had kids to romp with, until along came, a tiny little bundle of joy, “Baby” was her name.
I heard my family say, to the shelter staff one day, she barks too much, and the baby she awakes.

“I am a Hound Dog”, I wish I could say. When once I was a Princess, now I must pray.
I pray that another, will see me the same, as my family once did one day.

 
Bee

 

Bee

Bee had been at the shelter for almost a year. She was adopted yesterday ! We love these dogs so much! It is hard to see them go, but really it is bitter sweet! Bee has been worked with almost every day, for the last 6 months, by a volunteer named Linda. Linda is amazing and has taught Bee how to sit and shake!

 
Eddie

 

Eddie before

Eddie was a stray puppy that was brought into the shelter and had been hit by a car.  The QCPAWS Angel Fund paid for a rod to be put in his hip/leg.   He spent his recuperation with a very nice foster mom and then when all was well was returned to the shelter to wait for his forever home.  Today was the day and Eddie found a new home!   He was being shown at Petco today and one of our QCPAWS board members told some friends at the Farmers market about Eddie and his story.    They came right over to Petco and adopted him.   Eddie now has his forever home!

Eddie after
