Cheetah,

Congrats to you and congrats to the new dog. There's a bond between a former throw away animal and the new adoptive parents that is like no other. They truly know that you "saved" them. I hope you enjoy this new dog, and I hope she adjusts well, despite her past suffering. Both my dogs were rescues and I never regret it for a second, they are so grateful and they show me all the time how grateful they are.

And there is one less unwanted pet on this earth as Rachel said.

I had a yellow lab for 13 years and he was a kind, gentle soul. Labs are great family dogs and I am sure you will agree once you get to know how special she is.
