The word on the street is true…
I WAS ADOPTED YESTERDAY!
I have a new wonderful family - Victor, Jim & my new mutt brother Indy (I think he likes me and is already teaching me so much).
They are super cool and I am so excited to be in my forever home. I have a huge new space to explore and the buzz from Indy is we go on cool trips to a farm and to the woods for squirrel and bunny reconnaissance.
It has been a crazy awesome journey to this great place and I have so many humans and mutts to thank…
Thank you to:
-My new family Victor, Jim & Indy…. I am so happy to be part of this amazing “Pack” and can’t wait to experience all of our adventures together!
- Uncle D, Aunt Lindsey Schafferer & Aunt Angela Ognev - you all were the Mickey to my Rocky - an underdog who was pushed to be his best mutt through dedication, training & love. I am forever in your debt and there are not enough cuddles in the world to say thank you
-Friend Veronika Fritz - your sacrifice and help to friend Jeff was invaluable - without it I could have never been fostered. Plus, you are awesome at the cuddles - Good Human!
My foster brother Cooper & foster sister Tassha - you accepted me into your pack and taught me so much in so little time - specifically how to train friend Jeff
Angela John, Anne Vopat & Jay Dodd - you guided friend Jeff to be the best foster he could be. Your advice and support to him was so spot on that I didn’t have to teach him too much
All of the awesome, amazing, fun, dedicated & caring Staff & Volunteers at The Anti-Cruelty Society - you helped me (and help the mutts at ACS) so much to get forever homes. You are unheralded heroes to all of us
