| Sometimes it seems as though everyone wants
to adopt a puppy. That's why it makes us especially happy when
an older dog gets a second chance to live out their life with
a loving family. Divit, a handsome senior Australian Shepherd
caught the eye of Nina and Scott of Los Gatos when they were
looking for online for dogs to adopt. With an 18-year-old dog
at home, an eight-year-old dog didn't sound very old to them
at all! Nina recently sent us a wonderful update:
We're very happy to report that Divit has totally settled into
our home and has become a real member of our family. We just
adore him and he seems to really enjoy living up in the mountains
with us! He has an absolutely great personality, and he's one
of the smartest, friendliest dogs we've ever known. We were looking
for another pooch who we could do a lot of hiking with. Our family
also includes Fajita, a chihuahua we adopted a few years ago,
and Pedro, a real Heinz-57 mixed breed who's been with us for
18 years. Both are wonderful companions but not too hot on long
hikes.
When we saw Divit on the AFRP website with that big happy face
and beautiful, tri-colored markings we fell in love with him
immediately and thought, "Yep, he's the one!" Another thing that
attracted us to him was that he's a little bit older (he's 8).
We figured he'd probably be a little mellower and get along with
the other two "kids" really well -- and that's exactly how it
turned out. As a matter of fact, if anything having him around
has given elderly Pedro, who loves to play with him, a new lease
on life. Thanks to AFRP, we look forward to sharing many happy
trails with Divit by our side.
Thank you Nina and Scott for giving a senior dog a second chance
and a wonderful home! |
