Congratulations! Now if anybody knows a good smalldog, under 20 lbs, young adult, that might be in or headed TO the Boston area ...

friends of mine had to give up their beloved Henry, a Yorkie. He went blind overnight, no warning, and was NOT adapting well in their old Victorian with stairs and twisting hallways, and he always wanted to be with his people, so would howl unconsolably if they left him downstairs for the night. They tried for two weeks, but finally, for his safety (he fell down the full flight of stairs one night and though his bones weren't broken, his owners' hearts nearly were) and on the advice of their vet, had to re-home him. They drove him 65+ miles to a shelter that promised to take care finding him a home perhaps in a small apartment that would be easier for him to navigate, and he got snatched up by Yorkie Rescue. They have had nice conversations with the rescue woman who took him, and feel sure that he will find a good home.

Now, though, their home is not the same. They are older, and their children are all grown and out of the house, but it didn't feel empty, really until now. I said I'd help, and I know, Logan that lots of the dogs you transport end up in Massachusetts ... and little guys among them? They don't want a puppy - they know pups find homes faster anyway - (and the husband whispered [not another Yorkie, okay] when the wife wasn't looking) but any "young adult" dog who wants a lap to sit on and walks around the neighborhood ...

They've called a couple breed-rescue folks but haven't gotten called back ... and would be fine with a mongrel ...
