KIRA--SAFE / HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!

Before I begin the blog, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jane, Gracie Lu's mom. I'm sure Gracie Lu has big plans for the day!!! Jane sent me this article from her home town: Click here: Marshall County Tribune: Local News: Showing their puppy love (02/18/11) ++++++ ++++++
Kira came to us through a plea for help. She was a back yard breeder's dog and didn't know what love was all about.
She was very timid and just knew to run if you approached her. She had not be dealt with kindly. She would hide out in her kennel, because that was the only safe place she was familiar with.
Jeanne took her to her home for fostering. Kira has one small eye, probably from an injury where the eye was not treated, but she sees well enough to get around. She would love a quiet home, but was fine at Jeanne's with her dogs and doggy noise. :-) (Foster homes aren't always quiet!)
She began to look around and feel safer. She learned to go outside and didn't have accidents (which is amazing). She is not a bit aggressive--she wouldn't know how to be.
Kira didn't wait long for an application-- one came within two days of her joining her foster home. She is now in a patient and loving home of her own. She is following her new mom around the house and will sit on her lap for hours. I love endings like this for dogs who have had no love at all before. Thank you for adopting her!!

  2. Happy Birthday Jane -- I wonder what those two 'wild girls" will do for the day???

    Kira is such a pretty peke and I am so glad she got a lovely home for she did need a calm place in her life after what she has been through.
