Hanna
Adopted 2011
I adopted Hanna, AKA Sigma, from HOV 11 years ago. After 3 years of EXTREME patience, she was able to be off leash and even seemed to like me!! She grew up in a small pen for the first # of years of her life, but 11 years down the road she has had a wonderful life hiking, backpacking, rafting, sailing, and xcountry skiing. Seeing her turn from a scared animal, into a happy dog has brought me so much joy!! I love my Hanna dog!

Maggie
Adopted 07/21/2020
Maggie is so special to us. She has such a great personality and brings us so much joy and makes us laugh at the things she does. She a wonderful addition to our home. We chose HOV because of the love and care the staff gives the animals until they find their “furever” home.

Holmes
Adopted 05/19/2018
Holmes is always a sweet and goofy boy. His hobbies include taking naps, watching TV, and chewing toys. The work they do at Heart of the Valley is so important in our community, and they took excellent care of Holmes during multiple surgeries and recovery. I’m grateful they helped give him a second chance at a happy life, and I think he feels the same way!

Maybelle

Mable (now renamed Maybell) has been a great sidekick thus far. I taught her to fetch, swim, and leash training with ease. She traveled the Alaska highway with me to Alaska and loves car rides now. Thankful that I found her.

Teak-formerly Delgado is the perfect addition to our family. He is gentle, loves to snuggle, fetch, and run in the mountains. He is a very loyal boy who will do anything for children.

Nike
Adopted 08/17/2022
I immediately fell in love with Nike when I saw her at the shelter. She was sweet and shy and as I went to move past her cage, she reached her paws out to me as if to say don’t go. She still reaches out to me when I go to leave and is always ready to follow me wherever I go. When she gets excited she shakes her tail really fast and shakes her head. She melts my heart every day. I’m so glad I adopted this sweet girl.
Molly
Green Bean
Adopted 09/04/2022
Although I’ve only had Green Bean for a couple weeks, I couldn’t have found a better match for me. Green Bean loves to snuggle, play with feathers, and pounce on toes. She’s the cutest cat I’ve ever seen and I cant wait to watch her grow up!
Olivia K.
Sassy
Adopted 08/19/2022
I’ve had miss Sassy for a little over a month now and I couldn’t be happier, and she seems to be very happy too! She has a little cat hammock that sticks to the window right next to my bed that she enjoys sunbathing in, and every night she sleeps on my bed. Lately I’ve been waking up to her cuddled right next to me, and she’s a wonderful study buddy for exams week! Sassy is a very smart and inquisitive cat, and always lives up to her name when I get home from work or school, giving me an earful before I get my shoes off and give her all the attention I can! I love my new friend, and I hope that I can continue to do everything I can to keep her happy and healthy!

Angel
Adopted 10/23/2019
When we came into the shelter, we didn’t really know if we wanted to adopt. We just moved to Montana and didn’t know how or why we pulled into Heart of the Valley but we did anyways. While there, we saw so many kitties but then we laid our eyes on Angel. We were able to get her out of her kennel and love on her and then when we tried to place her back; she immediately latched on to my wife and wouldn’t let her go…. so since that day, we never let go of her either. She’s one of the best things that happened to us.

Zinhi
Adopted 08/09/2022
I adopted Zihni, formerly known as Jinxy, because of how sweet and open to cuddling she was. She has continued this and sleeps right next to me every night. She’s super cuddly in the mornings and will politely wait for me to wake up to get her morning snuggles, but at nighttime she loves to play. Shes also getting the hang of walking on a harness/leash and becoming more confident in herself. She’s very happy now and knows that she can get belly rubs if she rolls over and looks at someone, I couldn’t be happier to have her as my first cat.
Bailey T.
Draco
Adopted 10/21/2020
Draco is the sweetest and most cuddly boy. He brings so much joy to our life’s. It’s been amazing watching him grow these past couple years. We support HOV and it’s mission to help veterans adjust to civilian life with a companion by their side. We adopted Draco a couple months after Mike got out of the military. Draco is a blessing to our family.

Bogey is the biggest cuddle bug/lap dog! He loves his morning walks with our other German shepherd and taking naps with us. Truly such a sweet boy!

Otter is the best pup we could have asked for! He’s the sweetest, so smart, and great with the kids. He keeps our other dog active and happy. He’s been the perfect addition to our family.
