Hi!
It’s Betty here…
I recently responded to a call from a family wondering if we
could pay for obedience
classes
for their dog, Taz. After talking to the family, it became very
clear that Taz, a mini Dachshund, was not the right dog for
their family. They had a baby in the house and Taz was just
too much dog for them! They agreed that Taz was not in the right
home and wondered if we could help.
It just so happened that one of the volunteers at the animal
shelter got a call from someone who was inquiring about a companion
dog for a disabled woman. Taz fit exactly what they were looking
for!
He moved right in with the woman her care-giver. Now known as
Taz the Spaz, he loves and protects his new family. He is their
little baby and is very loved by his new parents! It feels very
good to help two families with no money and just a few phone
calls! Betty Smith, Volunteer
This
story also has a good lesson…
When looking at expanding your family to include pets, don’t
make decisions based on cuteness alone! Most breeds have very
predictable personalities and with a little homework, the best
companion can be easily found! Not every dog is for every family,
but every dog has a home somewhere…please help these little
guys live out full, happy lives!
