Edmonton Humane Society

Today we're celebrating a foster success story with another Feel Good Foster Friday! 💙

Boba (formerly Annabeth), a sweet bunny who has now found a loving home, is proof that the power of quality care and nurturing can truly make a difference, even in a short amount of time.

Her foster family loved watching her playful personality emerge, especially when she would partake in some adorable nighttime zoomies 🤭

“Annabeth was such a sweet girl to have around,” her foster parent shared. During her time in foster care, she quickly showed just how social, curious and lovable she truly was 🥰 After spending her first night adjusting to her new surroundings, she came out of her shell and was soon happily exploring the room, coming over for pets and spending time near her foster family.

And she’s continuing to thrive in her new home. Her new guardian shared that after just two days together, Boba was settling in wonderfully and the two had already formed a very special bond 🫶

While our adoption gallery is under renovation, fosters help us maintain capacity and support animals waiting for their perfect homes. From day trips to sleepovers and weekend getaways, even a short break from the shelter can have a huge impact on an animal's well-being.

Guinness' Adoption Story ❤️

Guinness' journey to finding a home didn't start out in the typical manner. In November 2019, Laura spotted an injured pup hobbling around her neighbourhood and alerted the Animal Care & Control Centre - Edmonton (ACCC). Needing surgery for a broken leg, he was transferred into the care of the Edmonton Humane Society, where Laura was able to reunite with him.

"I went to visit Guinness at EHS post-surgery and ended up adopting him because he was such a good boy," Laura remembers.

Guinness' leg injury resulted in an amputation, but years later, he's not letting that slow him down. "He’s still so fast at running and swims amazing!" Laura tells us.

When asked why Laura chose Guinness to be a part of her family, the answer is simple: "I love Guinness for his sweet eyes and love for couch snuggles. He’s so loyal and has been my best friend since day one."

A heart-felt thank you to Laura for helping Guinness receive the medical care he so desperately needed, and then welcoming him into her home as if he had been there all along ❤️

We wish this pair many more happy years of cuddles and adventures!
