Joy of Adoption Story
Dunkin FKA Orville
“Adoption means family. It means the dog choosing you as their furever home and us making sure they never have sad feelings again.”
It has meant opening our household to challenges, routine, changes, and of course love. Adoption has meant knowing we are giving a dog a loving and warm home and family. Adoption has shown us that it is the only way.
I’m a dog mom. A dog mom to a “t”. I love my fur babies and the constant love they give. We already had a dog previously and the way they got along and became comfortable with each other so quick was so amazing. We adopted Orville, now Dunkin (as in donuts), back in October and I truly don’t know what my household was like before him. He just wants to cuddle, play, and sunbathe outside. He is just the happiest boy in the world. Being able to see both my dogs interact and become their own family has been so heartwarming. He looks up to our other dog even though she is so much smaller than him. Rescuing Dunkin has also made me love and appreciate Pitbull’s so much more. I know he brings me joy because when I’m not home I want to just go home and be with them. I love watching his mannerism and personality grow.
I support Saving Grace because it gave me one of the loves of my life. I love the way they host so many events, have a store that we visit occasionally, and are very present on their platforms. It really all shows how much they care about their organization and the lives of the dogs. I feel like with Saving Grace you can follow along with their growth as well as their stories. I think it’s great to know where these dogs may have been found and the conditions they may have. It shows the diversity of puppies but also seniors. I love it. They took care of my baby and made sure he was taken care of until we were able to officially give him a family. For that I’m grateful.
