Holly
(aka Bailee) was found somewhere around Nov 15th in Tennessee by Amber Harvey along with her three [all black] siblings Ruthie
(aka Rudy), Patty (aka Piper) and Jasmine in a cold Tennessee November
rain. No one knew who the mother belonged to and the puppies were left
on the porch of a farm that had horses and cows. The puppies were
about five or six weeks old at the time they were found
Harriet
and I both came from families who loved dogs so we adopted our first
one week after we bought our first home. Since then we have adopted all
our dogs and have always had two so they would have someone to be with
when we are not home. Sandy, Shadow’s former companion passed away
shortly before Christmas. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on
your point of view) the local shelters had almost no adoptable pets at
the time.
Then
we found out about Holly through the PetFinder.com data base and
contacted Good Dog Rescue about Holly. The folks there were quite
helpful giving prompt answers to our enquiries. Mike our coordinator
took us Step by step through the adoption process letting us talk to
all Holly’s foster moms and when the time came, put us in touch with
Pam and Kyle who actually brought Holly here to Connecticut in a
special USDA approved air-conditioned trailer.
We
love Holly and she has really fit in from day one. Shadow and Holly
can be heard thundering down the halls as they romp and play throughout
the house. They chase balls, play tug-of-war with their rope toys and
sleep together wherever space permits. As everyone knows, having a
puppy is much like having a two-year-old around the house, however
having a few grandchildren around from time to time that is certainly
not an issue.
P.S.
We have been told that all of Holly’s siblings have been adopted thanks
to Good Dog Rescue and we would love to post any of their pictures.
Harriet and I
would like to thank Amber, Debbie, Pat, Mike, Margo and all those
involved with bringing Holly to our happy home.
