Adopt-A-Pet: Beba and Grado

While so many homeless animals had the chance to find their forever homes this month, for several animals at the Habersham County Animal Shelter, their Christmas wishes of getting adopted didn’t come true.

Meet Beba and Grado, two sweet, adoptable animals who hope next Christmas is one to remember in their fur-ever homes.

Meet Beba, a sweet female tabby at the Habersham County Animal Shelter.

After spending December at the shelter, Beba says her 2022 goal is to get adopted and live the life she’s always wanted.

“My new year’s resolution is to finally start living my dream life, and that starts with a place to call home,” she says. “Once I find the stability I need, I know I can thrive and be my best self.”

Beba says December has been tough, watching the other shelter animals get adopted or transported to new homes in time for the holidays. Spending Christmas at the shelter without a person to love was hard.

“The holidays were lonely, and I felt empty and unwanted,” Beba says. “But I’m putting that sadness towards hope for a better year ahead. This is going to be the year I find happiness.”

Meet Grado

Meet Grado, a sweet and gentle adult male terrier mix. He’s spent December much like Beba, watching other animals go home.

Grado spent this Christmas wondering when his adoption day would come.

“Spending the most wonderful time of the year alone was hard,” he says. “I wish I had a place, or a person, to call home.”

While Grado doesn’t have a lot to say in terms of barking, his laid-back demeanor and kind eyes say more than words might.

“I really want to spend next Christmas with someone who loves me,” he says. “I want to be home for the holidays.”
