I will apologize for the delay in postings by sharing a great experience I was part of the last couple of weeks. Maggie, a lovely German Shepherd Boxer mix has found a home and it has a nice story!
Maggie was a rescue dog adopted by my friends Kim and Kevin. They had never had a dog growing up and both were totally ready. They did all the right things and read all the right books and Maggie was the joy of their life. And then the allergies hit. I wonder how many people adopt dogs only to discover that someone in the household is allergic. I bet a lot. Never having lived with dogs, Kim and Kevin had no idea how bad it could be. It was bad!
So Sophie and I embarked on a mission to "re-home Maggie". I contacted all my friends in the "doggie network" - trainers, dog walkers and everyone who had dogs! Two couples later, this wonderful dog has a new home with a 13-year old Lab mix named Ginger and some more friends of mine - Laura and Casey. Ginger took to Maggie right away and now they are sleeping together and the best of friends.
What I learned: Dog people help dog people. We love our animals and we want them to have the best life possible. When all hands are on deck, good things happen. Yeah for Maggie!
