Dolly #198

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Life on the streets for me was so scary and when I found a spot under a porch, I stayed there until a nice lady pulled me out.  I was taken to the vet and treated for more fleas than I want to think about.  She then called Sheltie Rescue for help.  I received all my shots, was spayed and had many teeth removed.  Boy did I feel better.  When Bob and Connie met me, they were still grieving for their beloved Miss Indiana.  They knew I would never replace Miss Indiana but they love me and think I am just about perfect.  They play with me fetch and tug of war.  I share my home with a cat and we are adjusting to one another.  My new mom says my name Dolly fits me perfectly as I am a little doll.   Since I am only 6 years old, I have many years to snuggle and be loved by my new family.  Thanks Sheltie Rescue for making all of us so happy.

When Laura found out I was up for adoption, she immediately called Sheltie Rescue and came to meet me.  It took about 5 seconds for her to pick me up, hug me and say I want to adopt  Audrey.  I am a tiny little girl weighing only 15 pounds but you see I am only 3 1/2 months old.  I have a lot to learn but Laura and Chelsie are going to teach me and spoil me a little along the way.  My new mom is a dog groomer.  I bet I will be the best groomed Sheltie in town.  I am a cuddle bug and get to sleep with Chelsie.  I share my new home with a cat and have a great back yard.  I also have  cousin Sheltie that I get to play with at times.  From the campus of Purdue to the Humane Society, Sheltie Rescue found me a perfect home.  Did I mention I get to go to work with my mom?  Life could not be better for a pint size Sheltie girl.

After living with 2 families, two foster homes and residing in a rehab facility, I am HOME!!!  That is a lot of moving in my four years. My new mom saw my picture on the Sheltie Rescue webpage and she called to make arrangements to meet me.  Boy am I glad she did.  I share my new home with 2 Sheltie boys.  I am the lady in the family.  Kagen and I love to run and play.  Dakota, that is my other brother, is still a little shy around me but with time I hope he will join in the fun.   Mom said she had the two best dogs in the world and now she has the three best dogs in the world.  Gosh, I don't think my life could be any better.   I get to sleep on the bed with mom and Dakota.  Kagen prefers the floor.  I am giving mom lots of kisses.  It feels so good to know I won't have to move again and I will be loved forever.  I feel like part of a family.

Watson #201‏

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

My name is Watson and I now have a new mom named Jo.  Jo lost her beloved Luna and she and Ellie, she is my new Sheltie sister, were missing the company of another Sheltie.  Ellie is sort of a loner and mom missed having a dog at her feet.  Well, I am now the Velcro dog of the family.  I am 9 but know I will have many happy years at my new home and my new big yard with the freedom to run and play.   I love everyone and all dogs.   I have been kennel most of my life so this thing called Sheltie Rescue and being adopted is wonderful.  I have not stopped wagging my tail.   My mom has given me run of the house and she is so delighted that I am hers.  I think this was a match made in heaven.  I am a little guy at 17 pounds so mom can pick me up and hug me all the time.  She thinks I am pretty cute too.  Thanks Sheltie Rescue for the best new mom.
