A very happy ending for 2 shelter dogs!

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!

How wonderful. :) Kudos to you for directing her towards the shelter. :)

I think you should get her to join PT! :)

Great job Anna! ;) I agree, try to get her to join Pet Talk! :D

Great news Anna and I can't wait for pictures. I hope she takes lots! :) I love the people I work with too. One gal has two shelties, one gal has two labs and I have two poodles. Another co-worker who recently quit, has two pitties. Do you see a pattern here? LOL! I bet you can't guess what our lunchtime conversations revolve around. :)

I think that's great. You did a great thing telling her to check the shelters.
Another 2 dogs to get anew lease on life.

What a wonderful success story! Congrats to your manager on her new fuzzies!

Yippeeee!!!!
Can't wait to see pictures!!

Yay! Good job Anna! Treats all around!

What an uplifting story - great job Anna! It just warms your heart that two warm fuzzies will now have a good life!

Yay! That is a great ending. I hope you can share more stories and pictures of these two lucky pups.

Good job Anna! I'm so glad you told her to look at the humane society! I've got a friend that is looking for a puppy right now. She insists on having a chihuahua. She even found one at a petstore "on sale". I've been talking to her about going to a humane society. She just doesn't get it. I think if I make it in town soon enough we might make a trip to the humane society just so she can look. Hopefully she changes her mind about a petstore puppy.

Every adopted dog is good news but, if it's two, that would be twice
as good. Have you heard anything more from her ? Pictures would be
terrific.

Sorry it's taken me so long but I have a good update:)

Everyone is getting along just fine and learning their place in the pack.

I do have a pic of Rainbow and next time I see Staci I'll have her send me a pic of Guido:D

Just look at that face!!! How could you possibly leave Rainbow at the shelter?

It's almost as though she is saying "whadda ya want me to do next? I can do it - just ask me and I will show you!"

Gini, I think you hit the nail on the head! Great possible caption! Anna, this is such a feel good thread! Two lives saved. You must almost feel like a godmother. :p Can't wait to see Guido! :)

Rainbow is a cutie. Can't wait to see Guido. So glad that everything is working out and that these pups have been saved.

Here's Guido!

Oh what cuties!!!
