We had just lost our almost 17-year old miniature poodle, CJ, and thought that we would wait a while before we got another dog or cat. But, after a week, my husband was really missing CJ, so we started looking for a dog. We narrowed our search down to 2 small dogs: Sam and a miniature poodle at another rescue shelter. We got to meet Sam first on Friday night. He "chose" us from the very beginning, and we thought he was adorable. Amy said that she had not seen Sam take to anyone on the first meet and greet like he did with us. Unfortunately, we had made a commitment to meet the other puppy, so we had to leave Sam at Homeward. He was quite disappointed and did not understand why he was not going home with us. It broke our hearts to leave him. We did not get to meet the other dog due to schedule issues. so we came back on Sunday to get Sam. What a joyous reunion it was!
Actually, we were all meant to be together! He is such a perfect fit for our family. Sam is so calm and mellow, and is not afraid of my husband's wheelchair or crutches. He gets along so well with our 2 kitties. Sam knows basic commands and is really the perfect gentleman. He is also a great companion for my husband, who is home all day. One of Sam's favorite places is in his Dad's lap, as you can see.
Thank goodness Homeward Pet saved Sam! We will be always grateful to Amy and everyone there! We totally love Sam and he has his forever home with us! Sometimes the rescuer ends up being the rescued! Thanks, Sam!
Love,
Rocky and Lu aka "Dad and Mom"
