We hadn't planned on getting another dog. Like so many times before, I was just going to pet the dogs at the adoption fair and leave. I sat down on the floor and was petting another dog when this skinny little brindle girl walked over, placed herself on my lap and gazed into my eyes with a look that said, "Hello there. I'm yours." It was like no other feeling I had ever experienced.Three weeks later, we brought her home. She had been rescued from a bad situation where she was tied up in a backyard without food, water or shelter. So we've had a lot of work to do to help her past her fears of things like ceiling fans and stairs. But for everything we've given her, she's given back to us a hundred-fold. She has brought such humor, life and love to our house and we thank our lucky stars every day for our amazing Mayzie!

Adopting a dog and giving them a home with love, patience and understanding, not knowing where they came from or how they were treated, that's wonderful! My dog had a problem with stairs and would only stay in the entrance by the front door. It took about a week for him to decide on his own that maybe he should give it a try. Success! Now he does both ways but is having problems doing so with a hip condition. Take good care of Mayzie (love that name) and she will bring all the love in the world to you.
