I was called out to our kill shelter to check out a Great Pyr that was turned in. My daughter walked around to the last set of cages and saw a sickly, emaciated GSD. We went home to get my husband to go adopt the Great Pyr. When we got back to the shelter, I went over to tell the GSD that I chose the Great Pyr because she should be harder to adopt out because of her size. When I went to tell Killian that I was taking the Pyr, I could not. As I checked him over, I knew he was in the last row....death row, sickly, 69 lbs. What chance did he have? We adopted the GSD, Killian. I spoke to the counseler and told her that if no one adopted the Pyr, that I would take her too. Luckily she was adopted.
Two years later, Shiloh was coming out of fostering to be placed back in the shelter. There was a walkathon and she chose us. She and Killian got along wonderfully. Who would have known that she was not exactly dog friendly. I had no intention of adopting that day, but apparently, she did! LOL
Save a life, ADOPT!!
