Titan's Adoption Story ❤️

Ten years ago, Titan (formerly Max) found his person in Farrell. But for the happy pair, it feels like it was just yesterday.

Farrell had been searching for the perfect pup when, one day, she opened up her laptop and found herself on the Edmonton Humane Society website. And there he was: a dog named Max 🐶

Farrell knew instantly — "that was my dog."

When Farrell saw the little black pup pop up on her screen, there was a very distinct feeling. "I can’t even explain it, but I was just drawn to him. I immediately dropped what I was doing and raced down to EHS as fast as I could," Farrell tells us.

When Farrell was brought to the back to meet him, she immediately realized he was her soul dog. She didn’t need more time — Farrell already knew he was hers and she was his 🥹

Ten years later, Titan is still the funniest, most loyal dog Farrell has ever known. He’s a total goof, incredibly smart and definitely not agile 😂 He’s a guy who values routine, loves his schedule and enjoys the simple things in life: something soft to sleep on, his morning walks and soaking up the sun all day long.

"He has been with me for a decade of my life, through every major life event, through happiness and sadness," Farrell says. "He’s my absolute best friend and companion."

Thank you to Farrell for giving Titan a loving home where he can continue to live his best life and take part in all of his favourite activities. We wish this incredible pair many more years of love, laughter and friendship 💕

Did you see pretty girl Munna on this morning's Global Edmonton segment with EHS CEO Liza Sunley? 🐱

This friendly two-year-old kitty is looking for a patient family who understands bonds take time. While Munna loves attention, she can be a bit shy at first and likes to get comfortable on her own terms. She will greatly benefit from a home that can provide her with the boundaries and space she requires before showing off her winning personality ❤️

Peanut's Adoption Story ❤️

This week's is a heartfelt one, sharing the touching story of a recently passed EHS pet in honour of 🌈

It was a particularly busy day at the Edmonton Humane Society in November 2015. Amanda and her partner, Tyler had just recently lost their kitty, Luna, and were ready to welcome another furry family member into their home.

As they walked through the cat gallery, the hall was filled with people looking to do the same. As the couple reached the last room, they spotted a small two-year-old tortoiseshell cat quietly sleeping atop a kuranda — a peaceful moment amid the activity around her.

"The connection was instant. I looked at her and I knew, 'that's the one,'" Amanda remembers. "I pulled her profile sheet and immediately took it to the front desk to start the adoption process."

Peanut spent the next 10 years filling Amanda and Tyler's lives with immense joy. She was a part of every major milestone the couple had — she helped Tyler propose to Amanda, she was there as they welcomed two children into their family, she was a source of support when they purchased their first home and so much more.

No matter what, Peanut was always there. "She was my absolute best friend — my soul cat," Amanda tells us. "I am so forever grateful to her for everything she has given us. For loving my kids, for all of the cuddles at the end of a long day, for sitting with me while I worked and for just being the sweetest, most patient and gentle girl I could have ever asked for."

In April 2026, Peanut peacefully passed over the rainbow bridge, surrounded by the people who cherished her. Her story is a reminder of the large paw print our beloved pets leave on our hearts.

This Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we encourage you to share below your own stories of pets who have touched your lives and whose memories will never be forgotten 💙
