Dear Whomever: I Have Adopted Your Dog, and He is Safe
If you want to cry and cry and smile through your tears, this beautiful sappy story from Craigslist is perfect:
. . . I had dreamed of a dog the previous night, and (I know this sounds strange) my son and I went looking for him. The Rescue Group had done a good job on his coat, and he was fed and reasonably warm...but still, when I met him, his eyes and spirit were dull like someone who doesn't dare to hope. He rose on his back legs and put his paws on my waist, and looked, and looked. And I was smitten. In my heart he became my dog that day . . .
I know the shelter adoption process can be grueling and sometimes impossible to navigate. But to anyone who has successfully adopted a shelter dog: Puptastic thanks you.
