Life is Gooooood!

Adopt 09 Contest

The concrete was cold and it was very loud in my cell. I was so unhappy. But that was so long ago I hardly remember anymore. This is my adoption story.

Mom was at work one day. She says it was Friday, August 20th, 1999. They have a posting go up at her work every day with all sorts of stuff. This day it had a plea to rescue a Springer from Sumner County Humane Shelter. I had already been there two weeks and was on death row. The only reason they gave me more time because a Springer rescue got involved and begged to give them a chance. A lady that works with Mom breeds Springer’s and was involved in rescue and had it posted that I needed a home. Mom saw it that day and tried to talk herself out of calling about me but it got the best of her. She called about me twice that day. Later, she finally told her boss she had to leave work and go get a dog!

I was taken into a shelter with 2 more purebreds. One was PTS and the other was saved by a rescue organization in Atlanta. Mommy came into the shelter and I was in a cage with a Brittany. The Brittany was all over our cage trying to get Mom's attention but I sit in the back in a corner and just looked at her very sad. I had no idea we were actually soul mates. She took me home with her that day. When she picked me up I was really thin, very shy and ducked when she held her hand out to me. I didn't know what toys were and never did learn to care for them much. I didn't even know how to go in and out a door or up and down stairs. Although I was very affectionate, it took me 2 months to come out of my shell and start enjoying the wonderful life God had given me. That was 10 years ago this summer!

To all the humans looking for a furever love, please consider adoption/rescue. We have so much to give and you have so much to gain. OPT TO ADOPT!

Thank you!

Luv always,
Maggie
