Arrival Story: I volunteered at the Dearborn Animal Shelter only 2 Saturdays out of each month. At the time I was currently, and sadly, dog-less. I basically wanted every dog that came into the shelter, but none were sincere.
One Saturday Morning I went to the shelter to find a new puppy had arrived. Her named was Vista and she was very adorable. I spent the whole day with her and she grew on me; and took a liking to me also. Every time I would walk by her cage, sleeping or not, she would get up to greet me.
It was almost time for me to go home, so before my mom picked me up, I quickly rushed out with Vista on a leash to make it seem like I was already walking her. My mom liked her very much but there was one problem, she was too young yet and she wasn't available until the next week, on a Wednesday. The other problem was that she was available at noon, and I had school to go to.
For some reason, on that Wednesday, I just so happened to have a half day of school, getting out at 11:00 am. I was soo excited, we drove to the animal shelter quickly. We got there and I went to go show my Dad Vista, but she was gone. I looked over and over again, I even started looking for a different dog! With tears in my eyes I went to the last room, the puppy room. I open the door and there is Vista sitting up to greet me. I was soo happy, and confused because Vista, puppy or not, was not that small. But I didn't care, I found her! We go to the front and fill out applications for her, then they said, "Ok, you know how an auction works? Well since more than one person wants her, we have to auction her." My jaw dropped, my Dad isn't an animal lover, especially not one to keep raising an amount for a dog. He told me to pretend to cry to make the other person feel bad, but he didn't have to, I lost hope and cried on my own. The other person decided to drop out and let us have Vista. I was soo happy.
She is now Zoey and follows me everywhere. We have had her for 6 years. And she is as cute and as perfect as can be! Bio: I have had many dogs in the past, but Zoey has to be the best one :) Forums Motto: Zoaster the Toaster The Groups I'm In: GOT DOBES? I've Been On Dogster Since:
