Arrival Story:
While volunteering at the local animal shelter in Laramie, a tiny puppy came in. Although she was 4 months old, she only weighed 11 pounds. When the shelter organizer went to give her a treat, she swallowed it whole. A few minutes later, she coughed it up, and the treat came out in pieces. The shelter organizer laughed and said she looked like a Pez dispenser, so that's how she acquired her name. Poor little Pez was pooping out glass for the first 3 days at the shelter. She was eating anything she could find to stay alive, which included garbage. She remained unadoptable at the shelter until she gained weight. I wanted to adopt her, but was waiting until I graduated from college. Luckily, she was still there by the time I graduated, 2 months later. Everyday I would volunteer at the shelter, I would take her out first and spend extra time with her. I fell in love with her. Dan and I discussed it, and we adopted her and brought her home! At 7 months old, she was only 27 pounds. We didn't think she would get much bigger since her growth was stunted at an early age from malnutrition. However, now at a year old, she is 42 lbs and taller than Zipper. She is finally healthy and happy!
