Update: The good news is that Angel has found her forever home! *three big cheers!* She found another redheaded person to call mom, and is finally in a home environment and out of the kennel. It was in the nick of time- Angel was very unhappy with kennel life, and this was the best thing that could happen to her. Congrats to Angel and Rebecca- the dynamic duo! Hope to see both you girls at upcoming Sula events.
The bad news is that Andy, the second part of the lovebird equation, is still waiting to be adopted. He has been living at Canine Connection for well over a year, and now that his lady love is gone, the wait is going to be immeasurable. The folks at C.C. are to be commended for doing the best they can, but living in a shelter-type of situation is not the same thing as living with a family in a nurturing setting with more freedom (and more love). Andy does not get out to events very often, so his exposure is limited to the internet or to those who know where he lives and can go visit him in person. I met Andy about a year ago, and he has planted his pawprints on my heart in a special way. He is a young white pitbull, friendly, affectionate, playful yet very extremely well-behaved. At his last obedience class, he was picked head of the class by the trainer, a very big honor. He is a gentleman on his walks and heels beautifully. He is a gorgeous dog inside and out, and deserves a chance to be someone's best friend. The ideal home for Andy would have either female dogs/kids/both. Despite being in a kennel environment for so long, he has been patient and obedient even when playtime/visit is over, except to relunctantly drag his heels and look sad (understandable!) So many people have said, "He's so handsome and sweet, why is he still here?" The only answer I can give is that he hasn't found that person or family he was destined to belong with.
Let's all get involved in trying to match Andy to his forever home- he's waited patiently, and long enough. If you know of anyone interested in adoption or if you are looking for a wonderful dog that will be your forever friend, please contact me at: paperdragon3@yahoo.com, or contact The Sula Foundation directly: www.sulafoundation.org. Please spread the word and let's find Andy a home ASAP. Thanks so much!!
Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. ~Roger Caras
