Another happy ending

When our dog died in Nov. 2008, I hated not having a dog in the house. That's when I began visiting MCHS on a regular basis, looking for the perfect dog for our family. I found a timid, shaking Cocker Spaniel in one of the cages. My sister and I walked her and were sold. Later that day, our parents came to visit and put in an application for her. I named her Honey. 7 days later we took her home. It has been 4 years and she is the greatest addition to our family. Honey is sweet, playful, and charming. I HIGHLY recommend adopting a shelter dog, but make sure you do your research and find the dog that is the right fit for you, like Honey is for our family. Emily H. |
