Abbey came from a beagle rescue here in town. We knew we wanted a second dog so Kito would have a playmate, and we applied through PAWS to adopt a dog. I told the woman there how much I loved beagles, and they didn't have any, but she gave our number to the man who ran the beagle rescue. he called us at 5pm on a Friday night, and we were on our way by 7. When we got there, he had 15 beagles--Abbey was the one who would just lay there and let all of the other dogs bite at her, play, wrestle, and just take everything, so we brought her home!!

I went to the SPCA one day, and was on my way out, when a woman got out of her car with a little black fluffball and yelled "hey, do you want a puppy?" I told her no, that I couldn't get one right now, and she told me she was on her way in to surrender him, because he whined too much and was a big baby. I took Riley in my arms, and drove him home right then.

We went to the SPCA again a month ago, and found a beautiful rottie in the back of her kennel, not making a sound. They told us she was mean, but we took her out anyway. My husband went back 4 times, and then we went together and brought Jada home.
