Guess who was finally adopted.....Annie!!!

We knew the day would arrive when the perfect home would come along for Annie.  Today was that day!

It's a well known fact that black dogs don't have the easiest time getting adopted.  Far too many don't even make it out of the shelters.   

Annie spent the better part of this year waiting in the most wonderful foster home.  She learned her manners and basic commands, was never ignored and always had enough food to eat.  This was a far cry from the life we rescued her from; at the end of a rope attached to a chain, in a garbage strewn dirty yard with barely a blade of grass in sight.  When we first saw her, back on Feb 25th, she had rope burns on the underside of her neck!  How well I remember our shock when we first saw this sweet dog, so utterly neglected. 

Back in February, the first step was getting Annie surrendered into rescue.  We couldn't find an available foster home so she had to go to the kennel.  But it's a nice kennel and at least she was safe & sound until a foster home was found. Then along came Kathy! Annie made the transition to being an inside dog, living in a home.  

Now, in her forever home there's a fenced back yard, children, loving parents and even a dog buddy.  Congratulations to Annie.  She deserves the best and from all accounts, she's got it!
