I just thought this story was worth sharing:D
-------------------------------------------
Last week one of my managers had been telling me she wanted a Yorkie puppy. She had been to a pet store and seen the price ($1000+) and didn't want to pay that much.
She asked me if I knew anyone who was selling them. I didn't, but I told her to check rescues & shelters.
So yesterday when I went to work she's like "Guess What?" with a BIG smile on her face:D I just knew she must have found her dog.
Not only did she find her the little lap dog she'd been wanting, she also found another mixed little girl that they just couldn't live without!
They had went to one shelter and were told about Rainbow. Her mom had been deployed to Iraq so she needed a home. She is a 5 yr old mix breed about Huney's size, and smart as a whip:D She could do all kinds of tricks and was house and crate trained and got along well with other dogs. Of course Staci (my manager) wasn't really looking for a dog of this size, so she decided to foster her while in search for her perfect lap dog. Well all it took was one night for her to become a failed foster mom:D
Staci just had to check the other shelter while she was at it and found Guido the pomeranian. She knew it was love at first sight!
So not only one shelter dog was saved, but two!
I told her I needed pictures, so if she brings any I'll make sure to post them.
Sometimes I really love the people I work with!
