Riley

We previously rescued another German Shepherd named Rocky from a shelter. He lived a full life and was a wonderful dog; more importantly a family member. When we lost him we didn’t think we would ever adopt again. Losing Rocky was so painful.

Then one of your volunteers, Marie Wauters, recommended we look at Riley. We made an appt to look at a few dogs. However, we met Riley first and looked no further.  The connection was undeniable. We did the paperwork and she jumped right in the truck ready for the one hour plus drive home. She never wined or paced or did any of the things we expected.  She came right into our home and laid on her bed like she knew it was waiting for her. We have never had to crate her...not once. It is uncanny how she walked into our lives like she had always been here. We love her more than words can express. My husband is retired and is fortunate enough to share his days with her. I do get evenings and weekends. ️  She loves to go for rides and is such an important part of our lives. She has brought so much joy to our lives. She has also taught us that the pain we feel when our fur-babies cross the rainbow bridge is worth it for the amazing bond we share. We know how much it means to these animals to find a loving forever home. 

Thank you for all that your organization does to take care of them and to find them not just any home but the right one....the one best suited for both the dog and the owner(s).
