For some reason still unknown to even myself, while I was browsing the internet this morning I decided to look up rescue dogs in our area. This is something I have done many times before, and I always see sweet dogs, but nothing ever comes of it. Todd has wanted to get a dog forever, but we keep pushing it off as not the right time. But for some reason this morning all the planets aligned -- I saw Georgia, Todd saw opportunity. Next thing I know, we are calling the rescue program, Annie's Angels, to make arrangements to meet her. Here's her story...
An 80 year old woman who lives on a ranch in Laredo, TX has made it her mission to take care of all of the stray dogs she is seeing in the area. She even hired a ranch hand just to take care of them. One of the strays was pregnant and when she had puppies the woman rescued them and made sure each of them got a good home. She couldn't find enough homes for all 8 puppies, so she drove them here, to Annie's Angels, who have foster homes for dogs in the Houston area. Georgia had two siblings that made the trip with her that have already been adopted. She has been living with some wonderful people in Manvel, TX for the last two months. We went to see her today and it was immediate -- Todd was filling out the paperwork as soon as he could. Will was super excited -- he wanted to carry her -- and she didn't mind him trying, which pretty much sealed the deal.
We will be officially making her a member of the household next weekend -- I asked for the week to prepare the house (and my mind) for our new addition. Our spring break starts next weekend, so we'll be able to devote a little more time to getting Georgia acclimated to life around here. Be on the lookout for more pics!
