Somehow, along the way of the first few years of like I became separated from my owner. I don’t completely understand what happened as I was doing the best I could do to be a great puppy but I ended up in a high kill shelter at around 2 years old. I kept hoping that my humans would come looking for me but it never happened. As the inevitable moment of meeting the Great One I love was possibly coming my way, a miracle happened and I was snatched by a kind lady who arranged for a helicopter ride to take me to PetConnect Rescue in Potomac, Maryland.
I was scared to death as I peaked out the window from the helicopter. Thank goodness the pilot had little bags as it happened before I knew it was going to. Oh, and a good stock of air fresheners- bless his heart.
In Potomac, MD, I met up with the lady who snatched me up- giving me a chance to continue being a dog. She was really nice, gave me some food and water and treats as I slowly began to trust her- but then she took me to the vet where my body was used for a pin cushion- they kept telling me it was “good for me” and I thought “easy to say where you’re on that end of the needle.” I checked out pretty good with the vet. I had a few problems but they took care of those.
I was taken to a house where a kind lady feeds me, gives me fresh water, introduces me to her dogs, and I learn some basic obedience and commands. She was my “foster mom” and I learned this isn't my permanent home but that would come along soon.
After several humans visiting me, walks and showing my handsome and talented self off to several humans- the day came that I met my humans and found my Forever Home. They love me and I them. I have been very good for them and their family- we've been through the loss of family members together and illnesses, we've gone on vacations and I've managed to get my male human healthier by making him exercise me, I got his blood pressure down.
I share my story today because I am hoping you will be able to donate today, Thursday, June 6, 2013, to help PetConnect Rescue raise funds so they can rescue other animals who might make life more exciting for more families, please visit the PetConnect Rescue Do More Page to make a donation.

We are committed to ensuring a kind, informative adoption process and to raising awareness for the cause of animal welfare.
