Badger, a Jack Russel mix, and Gilligan, a golden retriever, were rescued by Blue Mountain Humane Society and diagnosed with Salmon Poisoning Disease after their health rapidly declined. Thanks to the swift action of BMHS and veterinary experts, both dogs received timely treatment and have fully recovered. Now thriving in their new homes, Badger enjoys drive-thru adventures while Gilligan cherishes walks and cuddles.

Introducing a new pet into a home with existing pets can be challenging, but with the right approach and expert support, it's possible to create a harmonious multi-pet environment.

Rooster, an 8-year-old cat with a unique meow and a serene disposition, found a loving home with Anneliese DeBeaumont, a graduate student with a heart for older, special-needs cats. Despite his initial shyness and being FIV-positive, Rooster's affectionate nature shone through at the Blue Mountain Humane Society, capturing Anneliese's heart. Since his adoption in September 2023, Rooster has thrived in his new environment, basking in the quiet companionship and comfort of his forever home. His story is not just a happy tale of adoption but also serves as an inspiring message about the joys and possibilities of providing a home for FIV-positive cats.
