Better together

A young woman came into the shelter this afternoon to find her lost dogs. She found two out of three of them. We couldn't release them to her today but she asked us to place the two of them in the same pen. When we moved the puppy in with the older dog they were both so excited. The older one, who hadn't been eating, immediately started chowing down. She'll be back tomorrow to take them home. Yea!

We seem to have so many puppies right now you'd think it was springtime. Such little tiny things, they are so helpless. Thank goodness someone brought them in or called us to pick them up. With us they have a chance to get adopted.

Little Miracles

It's the little miracles that keep me going day-to-day, that make me smile in the car on the way home. There were three just today. The young, beautiful heeler mix that is in my office this week is learning to trust people. She has the most amazing markings but was so scared and timid. After two days in the office she is greeting visitors (if they're not too big and scary) and playing with toys. Whoever adopts this little girl is going to be so lucky.

The precious puppy in 409 is going to need surgery on her leg, a big responsibility for a new pet parent. Today someone called about her and is going to see her tomorrow - and she's a vet!

And a Mom with two delightful boys came looking for a new pet. The talked about what they were looking for, a puppy that would grow into a large dog. I mentioned the huge, yellow lab I had greeted each morning for the past week and how sweet he was. (I'm known for my weakness for Labs) After they came back up front I asked if they had chosen one - the boys said YES, THE WHITE LAB!

Each life that goes out to a new home or goes back to their own home is a victory - and a miracle.
