Adoption Stories
We have too many "Happy Tails" to put on one page so we decided to share those with you by posting our adoption reports.
Here is Mia:
This is her "success" story.
Mia's Story
The real drama of my life began when my first human parents abandoned me and one of my 1 year old siblings on the side of the road near Blaine, Kansas. They left us with a ½ bag of dogfood! That was confusing and scary. Then a man came and put us in a truck and took us to Wamego and we spent 10 & 11 days at the pound. The days were long and hot, lonely, too. Julie came out and petted me, gave me toys and treats and made sure I had the puppy food I needed. She also gave me towels to sleep on in the dog house. Sometimes when it stormed really loud, those soft towels were comforting to me.
On September 13, 2005, my time was finally up at the city pound. My foster mom came to pick me up - yay!!!! I got to ride in the pickup to her house. When I got out of the truck she took me to grass and boy I didn't know what to think about grass because I had been on cement for soooooo long. But I stepped into it and it felt so good so I ran and ran - it feels good to be free!!!!
My foster mom calls me Mia which I learned in just a matter of minutes. My foster mom tells me I'm so smart! She gave me a bath and checked me for fleas - she only found one, but keeps checking me and says things look good! She tells me I'm a pretty girl, all shiny in my black coat. I'm an energetic puppy I love toys and love to chew. I'm busy exploring my surroundings. There are two cats here, I'm curious about them and like them but they don't know what to think of me.
The first night I wanted to be close to my foster mom because the last 2 weeks have been kind of confusing. So we slept close to each other.
I love hanging out with my foster mom's two black labs who are older and bigger than me. I'm very socialized. She also tells me how brave I am because nothing seems to scare me - not the vacuum, or the coffee grinder which are both loud!
I'm happy and I like being in the house with toys, the other dogs and people. Cory came to meet me yesterday and today I get to go home with him. They sound like a wonderful family who love dogs and I'll have lots of new brothers and sisters and a whole new human family!
The crate isn't my favorite thing, but I understand that it keeps me safe and out of trouble. I fuss a lot when first put in but settle down - it helps when the other dogs are close to me. She put me in the crate while she did some housework, this gave me a chance to settle down and take a nice long nap. Crates are okay - they keep a little puppy like me safe and it also lets me know it's time to rest.
I'm so thankful that I was rescued out of the pound and that I have a new family who will love me.
It was getting pretty scary for awhile wondering what the fate of my future would be!
Life is good and I have a chance at a safe, loving, forever home. I'm so thankful!
Mia
