agility was canceled yesterday. So, we went to the animal control shelter since we were downtown anyway, and my friend Alisha lost her cat a few days ago and I was curious. I walked past the dogs completely, I knew I would just break down if I stopped to look at them, and I'd spend atleast an hour there. I was looking at all the cats, atleast 50.. when they brought in this beautiful tri-color Border Collie girl. I didn't even want to look at her, so I just walked by, but she turned around and tried to jump on me, and her paws just delicately rested on my legs, and I seriously was about to cry right there... I asked the lady holding her leash if she was adopted. "no, she just got here". She is so young, she must be at most 6 months old, and she was very scared but still so sweet to me. I had Gonzo's treats and I gave her a few and she gently took them from me. I left, and completely tried to forget her... my parents keep saying, no more dogs, and I try to listen. I tried to call the shelter yesterday to ask more about her, they said they don't know anything.. she's a stray and can be put down any day now.
I knew just about nothing about her, but I just went on Petfinder, because its my home page, and immediately my regular search for 'Border Collie' of any age or gender popped up.. and there she was! She was first on the list, it was like fate! oh my gosh, I am dying right now trying to keep quiet about this, but I'm asking my parents to go see her again tomorrow. Even to foster her, would be so rewarding and would make me so happy.. I know Gonzo would adore her, I just know. she has the personality that he loves most, I would hate for her to be killed, or to be bounced around the wrong homes for her. look at those eyes! it's seriously killing me. I'm sorry, this probably belongs on the rescue board, but I wanted to post it here.
this is my girl
