CIARA UPDATE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ESSIE!!! I KNOW IT WAS YESTERDAY AND I AM LATE! HOPE YOUR DAY WAS WONDERFUL!!!
We received a request to help Ciara, who was at a shelter in Washington, DC. We also had a wonderful applicant in N.Va. who sounded like a great fit for her. Do we always have to have our applicants adopt from us? We like it! But, if we can direct them to another Peke that needs help that would be a good fit, we will do that. We just like to save Pekes!

So, I told her about Ciara-- and she went to meet her. She fell in love with her! She was able to pick her up (after her spay) on January 19. Ciara was very curious about her new surroundings, but she adjusted quickly. Her new owners wrote me and said, "She knows where the door is and when the keys are picked up, and the coats go on, she is ready to go out. She loves to go for longgggg walks as we scour the neighborhood I have not visited since my Max passed last summer. She has come to be our aerobic exercise weapon. Her “greetings” when we come home is priceless. "

"I was apprehensive when I first saw her because she was missing an eye and she was so skittish in her den. But, when I got to interact with her, all that changed! Ciara is a great little dog. I feel we really got a great match, and we love her so much-- thanks to the Potomac Valley Pekingese Club and the Washington Animal Rescue League. I have come to realize and appreciate the work that both agencies do. I didn’t realize how may orphaned animals there are out there. I am glad that I was able to rescue one." We are glad Ciara has a home, too!! One Peke at a time, finding good homes is what we do-- and it just makes our hearts smile!
