Joy of Adoption Story

Shadow

"Two years ago, I lost my 16 yr old Springer Spaniel, Jackson. A few months later, I took my planned retirement and wanted to keep myself occupied so I volunteered as a Foster."

I went through training prior to leaving work so I’d be ready to take in a pup. I got home from my last day and there was an email that transport would have new pups. When I arrived all the crates were in one location and my pup selection was the loudest of the bunch. Oh boy….

We loaded up, stopped for food and when we got home, she didn’t need coaxing to leave and started running around the fenced yard so happy to be free. Even though she didn’t know me, she kept a close eye. Over just days, she wouldn’t let me out of her sight – thus her name, Shadow, now 2 1/2. I realized within days I wouldn’t be able to return her. My girls reinforced that I was a quick foster fail! I’m very lucky to have found her. Thank you, Molly and Saving Grace Staff!!!
