Meet Kiwi:
Today marks the 1-year anniversary of adopting our boy. He's a happy Border Collie/Aussie mix (we think), and based on the estimates of when he entered the shelter, we think he's around 1 year, 10 months old. We adopted him from a rescue organization that works with a kill shelter in Arkansas. When that shelter had to close for repairs, several dogs were put on the list to be euthanized since there was no room to place all of them in alternate locations. Kiwi was one of these dogs.
He's brought so much joy into our life and we're so glad we made the decision to bring a 3rd dog into our home.
So for those of you who are considering getting a dog, why not look to your local animal shelter? There are SO many great dogs out there who need a second chance in a loving home. Yes, dogs come with baggage just like humans, but with time and training they'll become part of the family and seem like they've been with you forever.
And if a dog isn't in your current plan, donations are always appreciated -- be it time, money, bags of food, blankets, etc.
And for those of you who have adopted a dog, thank you. I sincerely mean that.
