Arrival Story:
I guess you could say Lady chose me. She chose to join our family, myself and 4 dogs and 1 cat, my late father's cat. Someone either dropped her on my old street or moved off and left her. It was the fall/winter of 2005, around the holidays. I had seen her in the neighborhood, along my street and several of us fed her. But she got where when she'd see me come home from work and pull in the drive, she'd take out across the dead end street to my house. I had a house and fenced back yard. It was getting almost Christmas and cold. She had found shelter in an abandoned house garage a few nights before during a storm. I got home late and wanted to make sure she was shelterd, I actually looked for her down an alley and when she came out barking I could tell she was under a shelter for she wasn't wet or dirty. So the next morning as I went out to feed her, she came. I set her food down and turned around to go back in the house, my dogs were in the back yard. As I went in, she just so politely followed me in and hopped upon the my couch and looked at me, like "I'm home". I wasn't sure how my other dogs would take to her. I was pretty sure my old dogs would accept her for they had accepted my two younger ones, but wasn't sure if the younger ones would. Well with it getting cold, I told her she could stay in my laundry room until I could find her a home or a rescue to take her. I also wanted to get her off the street before someone picked her up and turned her into a fighting dog or a breeding dog. She had showed no agression at all and loved everyone. I had someone in mind as for a home, a friend I had recently met and talked about my dogs had said he was thinking about getting a dog. So he was the first I called. But over Thanksgiving, he'd had a cat wonder up and stayed so wasn't sure how the two would do, so he said no. I called the local rescues and at that time once they heard her breed, they said no. So times kinda took a turn for the worse and I lost my home. But instead of giving up my dogs, and her I found places for them and told her I'd just add her to my pack and get her shots etc. until I got us back in a home. She probably wasn't a year old yet. At first Oreo wasn't sure about her. She was about his age and just wanted to play all of the time. And through some hard times we are still together. My old dogs have since passed on, one at 12 and a half years old and the other just shy of 14 years old. And I let my late father's cat be adopted into a home where she is loved.
