It’s our very favorite day of the year – Share the Love Day! In the eighth year of our annual tradition, we sponsored adoption fees for 19 adorable pets at The Greater Birmingham Humane Society. If you have room in your home and heart for a new Valentine, we hope that you will consider adopting from The GBHS.
Meet our Sponsored Pets
Aloe
Sweet Aloe is a timid and shy little angel, but she has a heart full of sweetness. With the right amount of love and care, I believe she will grow into a wonderful family dog. —Claire
Arlo
Arlo has a fluffy butt, and I think he’s retriever mixed with Shepard, absolute sweetheart. 1.5 years old and 39 lbs. Go get him before I change my mind and bring him home. —Robert
Barbara
Barbara was sweet and needed some warms arms for her to snuggle. She was a little shy and sleepy, but sweet as can be. Barbara would make a great pet because she is lovable and will love you in return! —Adam
Darvin
Darvin is an absolute sweetheart—friendly, full of love, and always ready to leap into your lap for a big, warm hug. He’s bursting with affection and would make the perfect, tail-wagging addition to any loving home. Whoever welcomes him in is in for a lifetime of cuddles and joy! —Joe
Eliza
Eliza is a beautiful, bouncing, ball of joy – and her beautiful coat and loving nature make her one to take home. Every time I let her go, she would tuck her nose under my arm for another hug! —Chuck
Gatsby
Gatsby is one chill cat! This orange tabby is ready to curl up next to you and nap all day long. If you are looking for a companion who likes to be held and doesn’t demand a lot of frisky play, I recommend Gatsby! —Brian
Godiva
When I circled the hallway loop the first time, Godiva was the only dog to come over to the window and extend her paw to me. But I kept walking, as if I was still searching. When I circled the hallway the second time, not only did she extend her paw, but she also sat down in front of the window as if to say, let’s have a conversation. Then, I realized Godiva is a genuine friend who would make anyone feel comfortable and welcome. —Roman
Gracen
Gracen is a lovely playful tan and white puppy who gets excited to see people. You can tell this hound would love to roam around the yard with you and explore nature. She is very gentle but loves to sneak in a kiss or two. —Danny
Gracie
I picked Gracie because she was very sweet and calm. She’d be great for someone who wants a lap cat! Don’t let her angry face deter you! —Emily
Lyla
Layla is a sweet, gentle girl who was friendly and at ease in my lap. She is small and soft and would make a wonderful pet. —Laura
Mango
Mango caught my eye because she looked so gentle and sweet. She reminded me of a little deer. I picked her up and she just cuddled up to me in full love bug mode. If my pack weren’t already full, I would have carried her all the way home. —Liesa
Maximus
Maximus is a belly rub loving sweetheart. He immediately wanted a hug and was very affectionate. —Scott
Prudence
I picked Prudence because at first glance, I loved her multicolored fur. She was in the wrong pen because they said she’s a jumper…ha-ha. But once in my arms, she was a cuddle-bug. I’d call her spirited. —Sonya
Ralph
I mean… just look at him!
Snoball
Snoball was curious to see me, but very serious. I loved her energy. She was a little shy in my lap, but not crazy. She seemed like a good dog to have around. —Lissy
Starla
Starla caught my eye the moment I walked in. She is super sweet and affectionate and will give lots of love to her new forever family. —Stan
Tallulah
With a beautiful tan coat and adorable spotted nose, Tallulah definitely caught my eye. She was so happy to meet me with tail wagging and a flurry of curious snuffles – I can’t wait for her to light up her forever home, she’s just the cutest pup! —Mika
Teila
Teila was labelled a “Lazy Lounger” on her paperwork, and she was curled in a sweet little ball when I first saw her. I made a mental note to come back because I already loved her. As I was finishing my lap to see all the adoptable pets, the tech working that day walked up to me and said, “Do you want to see my favorite dog?” and, of course, I had to say yes. He led me back to Teila and I laughed saying that she was already on my list of favorites to go back to. She had me at “Lazy Lounger”. She was also much tinier in person at only 32.8 pounds and was so gentle and timid. I was able to hold her in my lap and give her love and attention and we all laughed at her amazing ears that went right up when you squeaked a toy while trying to take her photo. I just know that she would make a beautiful and loving companion to any home. Both the tech and I lamented that we didn’t have room in our own homes to take her that day. Cheers to the Teilas and the “Lazy Loungers” of the world. —Jackie
WeeBoy
WeeBoy is a beautiful Tuxedo petite cat that I fell for instantly. His face and bright eyes made me smile. WeeBoy was a bit squirmy due to the camera and lights, but he began to settle and cuddle in my arms after a few minutes. He would be a great family member bringing his sweet demeanor to any household! —Tammy
