| Dear AFRP,
It's been almost 2 years since I adopted my little friend from
AFRP so this Happy Tail is much overdue...but I'm thrilled to
send it along.
I found Todd (AFRP name 'Tye') on the website in 2006. My previous
little Pomeranian had passed away the summer before and I was
ready to start looking for another dog. I needed a smaller size
dog and when I saw Todd's picture on the website, I was smitten.
He was being fostered by the Larson family in Pacific Grove after
being rescued from the Salinas shelter. He was getting over pneumonia
but was on the mend and seemed to be a happy and friendly little
guy. After a weekend 'trial' visit, I knew he was the one for
me.
I often think of what his previous home life was like and what
happened that he wound up in a fast-food parking lot (where he
was picked up by the shelter). He's a great dog...he was completely
housebroken and he also did well on a leash. He knew some basic
commands and is very quick to learn new tricks. Although his
teeth were in bad shape (after getting him a dental exam, he
had to have 5 removed), he seemed healthy in all other ways.
After a few months on flea control and good food, he developed
a healthy and beautiful coat and his skin problems cleared up.
He loves his walks. Especially if there are cats or birds to
make things exciting. He also loves his little toys and will
often bury them to enjoy them later. He's a quiet, happy and
loving little dog and I am thrilled to provide him a safe and
happy home. He gives me so much pleasure. Thank you AFRP for
helping Todd and all the other needy dogs and cats connect with
those of us who can share a loving home with them.
