Let me tell you the story of my adoption!
Many years ago, My mom Roni and dad Jeff and their kids Amy & Josh adopted a dog from Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter. Sable lived a long, happy life with them. Last spring, when she was 14 1/2 she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Everyone missed her very much, even Amy and Josh, who were grown and had moved out. My parents were especially sad and missed having a dog. They decided that at the end of the summer, after their vacation, they would adopt another dog.
My mom tells me that while they were visiting Utah, she had a dream that Sable was walking with a dog who looked just like ME! When they got back to NJ, she went to Noah’s Ark but I wasn’t there. So she went on Pet Finder.com and found me at Common Sense for Animals.
I don’t remember too much about the first year of my life. I lived in South Carolina and was surrendered to a high-kill shelter. The people there recognized I was a nice, adoptable dog so they sent me up on transport to Common Sense for Animals along with a bunch of other dogs. The people at Common Sense were very nice but I wanted to live with a family.
Then my mom and Dad found me there and brought me home. I had a family! I was so excited I did get into a little trouble at first (don’t ask my mom about the time I chewed up some cookbooks). But I settled down and I love it here!
Since Roni is a writer she spends a good part of her day at home on her laptop while I hang out with her. We also play and go on long walks and she says she gets ideas for her books sometimes while we’re walking. I have doggy friends in my neighborhood and there’s wildlife to bark at. Roni also took me to a Basic Training class at St. Hubert’s Noah’s Ark campus so I could learn some new things like sit and stay. I also have LOTS of toys to play with!
Sometimes we go to the dog park which is lots of fun. But it’s been such a cold winter that my mom says we have to wait til it warms up to go back since it’s cold and windy up there.
Please join me here to learn more about ME, my mom and her books, western TV shows, and rescued pets. I’ll be interviewing other dogs, cats and other animals who were adopted! Stay tuned!
