Today, I sent my heart dog to her new furever home just outside of Seattle, Washington where she will have a wonderful home, a big fenced in yard, a four-legged playmate and the loving family she so deserves.

I cannot say that I am not sad because I am. Hope's been so much a part of me for 2 years that I feel like I've given away one of my children. I am selfishly heartbroken, but I know it was the right thing to do.

Thank you all so much for making the journey with us. It's been one helluva ride, pups. You've been there every step of the way, and I could not have done this without you. I hope that the lesson we all take from this is that persistence pays off. There is still good in a world that is often cruel and always scary. And most importantly, we can make a difference saving one dog at a time.

Much love and many hugs,
Sandi, Hope and the hairballs

Congratulations on your new forever home- your Mom worked so long and hard-
despite so many setbacks and barriers- to save you and then made such a heartrending choice in the end to find you the perfect- safe- loving home. From beginning to end -your story was followed by countless Dogsters- cheering you both on though a roller coaster ride that ended in a selfless sacrifice to make sure that you were safe and happy.

Mom forgot to mentioned that she hopes that you will be sending updates from your new home. After all- you are now across the country- but not forgotten.

I have been following Hope's story since an ad was posted on craigslist when she escaped on Halloween last fall. I hadnt seen any updates on her whereabouts until the other day about her recapture. I was sooo happy to hear that she was safe again but also sad that she couldnt be brought back to live with the people that know and love her most. I am glad that someone although far away is going to give this dog that has touched so many lived a wonderful home to live out her life in peace. I live close to the station Hope used to hang out at and I commend all the people who assisted in her rescue, especially her FORMER MOM. God be with you for persisting in helping this dog. I too would love to know how she does at her new home. my thoughts and prayers are with you and Hope!!!
