New Addition

Those who know me, knows my family has been through a lot trying to add another dog to our crew. People kept telling me "everything happens for a reason" & "when it's meant to be it will happen." Now those words were hard to hear at the time, but I look back now & realize the truth behind them.

Before we adopted Riley last year, we had a major heartbreak when one of our foster dogs was adopted. A few months after that we were able to adopt Riley & he healed our hearts in a way no one could ever imagine. In May of this year we took in a dog that we were told we were fostering to adopt. Her foster parents decided they wanted to keep her. This was sad news, but we were happy she had a forever home in the end. Next week had planned on adopting another puppy, but sadly God had other plans for her.

I am very proud of my family's strength & ability to keep going. We have been sad & cried many times over those we lost & could not have. Many people would simply give up, but we did not. We pulled together & thought about all of those puppies in need of a home & knew we had to keep trying to adopt until we are successful.

We are happy to announce that on 6/10 we will be welcoming a 4 month old puppy (an English Shepherd mix) named Miles into our family! We are so thankful for our friends Kevin & Allison for helping make this dream come true for our family! We love you guys!
