"Recently a young female dog, of guard and herding genes, was introduced into my home. It was love at first site! I had just lost my beloved rescued Akita dog, who had been a great friend.
Autumn came via the Paws in Prison program out of Lockhart Texas. The ladies there do an outstanding job of preparing a dog for placement into a forever home. Autumn happens to be deaf, however, she does not consider herself disabled in any way. She fits into our home very well.
Autumn has taken on the responsibility of "guard dog" and she takes this job very seriously, she guards the inside and outside of our property. She reports all perimeters are secure every day. Between her guarding responsibilities, Autumn and I play kickball and go for walks.
Autumn has a much older brother (a 12-year-old greyhound), and they get along well. Rebel, the greyhound finds Autumn rather amusing as she darts through the house and out the door to the backyard fence line. She happily greets all visitors to our home and has become well known to the neighbors. I am so lucky to have Autumn in my life,
Oh yes one more thing. I no longer need an alarm clock. I wake up to her kisses every morning!!" Darrell
