# Happy tails: pets who went home

Pets from North Carolina shelters and rescues who went home with a family in the last 90 days. Every adoption here was made by the shelter or rescue named on the card, with its staff, fosters and volunteers.

**1** pet went home in October

## Recently adopted

This page is new, so the list is short for now. It grows as shelters mark more pets adopted.

Thank you to [APS of Durham (Durham County Animal Shelter)](https://www.apsofdurham.org/dogs/) for every one of these adoptions.

We show a pet here only when its own shelter or rescue marks it adopted, on the pet's page or on its adopted list. A pet that simply leaves a list may have been transferred or reclaimed by its owner, so it is never counted. 6 of the 348 shelters and rescues we read post that today, so many adoptions never appear here.
