My husband and I just adopted a dog from an SPCA organization. We're bringing her home tomorrow. The SPCA rescued her 6 months ago from a shelter so that she would not be killed. She had been picked up from an elderly lady who had too many pets and couldn't afford to feed them all. She and the other animals were all malnurished when they were picked up by the shelter, but she looks great now. Her name is Susie and it took a while for her to get adopted because she's not used to personal attention. She's very friendly with other dogs but a little stand-offish around poeple. Even we spent a couple of hours with her before deciding to adopt her. I think she'll come around quickly. After the two hours, we had to leave her in her crate for a while to sign the papers. When we came back to say good-bye, she actually wagged her tail and looked interested in us because she recognized us. I can't wait to make her a part of our family. She's our only child so far.
