Trent is the Adoptions Manager at BHS, and when he was asked what his favorite thing about being an adoptions counselor was he replied:
“It always makes me smile to watch people immediately open up and act differently when I bring a dog out for a meet and greet. A gruff stern man goes to a knee, a baby talks, an older women jumps out of her seat to go find a ball to throw, or a disorganized family comes together and all get excited about the new pet. Animals bring out something different in everyone I meet.”
Trent’s favorite match that he made was the adoption of a dog called Kingston (pictured below):
“Kingston and his owner Zachary is a match I will never forget. Kingston had been exposed to rabies and had to be put on a 6 month quarantine. In that time I worked with him to keep him mentally and physically stimulated and we grew very close. When the day finally came for Kingston to go up into adoptions I was excited to find him a new home and not but a couple of days after Zachary and his wife came in to view Kingston. When I learned Zachery worked in the snow for long periods of time away from home I knew Kingston was the kind of dog he needed. Zachary was looking for a friend who could keep him safe, keep him warm, and offer companionship so he did not grow lonely. Needless to say Kingston fit the bill and now the two are great friends.”
