I got my dog, Katie, from a local humane society here in San Diego. She was given up by a military family that had been transferred and couldn't take her with them. She came with dresses, tee-shirts, toys, and a book about Chahuahuas. She was obviously loved and well care for - I was lucky to get a dog that had been treated well and had some training. The best thing is she comes when she's called - sometimes with a bribe of a treat, but she always comes.
She's been great dog and a wonderful companion for me. My grandkids all love her and she is good with them. As I said in a previous posting, she is a barker if someone comes near the condo, but that's not always bad since I live alone.
So, if you're ever out for a walk and see a woman walking her dog, both dressed in trench coats, THAT US!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you decided to get your new companion from a shelter.

I am an SPCA foster mom, all our adoptable pets are kept in private homes, and I am fostering a lovely little 6-year old Chihuahua.
Twice a month he is taken to Adoption Day at Petco, and I hope he will get a forever home soon.
Why don't I keep him, as he is so well behaved? Because I am a great grandma and he would outlive me, and be looking for a new home as an older dog, it would not be fair to him.
Both my own personal pets, a cat and a dog, are 15 years old, but I also am fostering two sweet kitties.
Thank you so much for caring about the animals.
