This Dog Found A Home

This is what we accomplish when we all band together.
Thanks to your monetary contributions
and Lorin's diligent care for the past three months...

Chip started here... at a kill shelter waiting to die...


And is now going to his forever home with a loving family.



It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? 
Merry Christmas indeed

    This would bring tears to the hardest of hearts. Just incredible. How beautiful that this wonderful creature has a completely new life. I can't imagine the scars his heart must have from the memories of where he has come from. But maybe, just maybe those memories are forever gone from his mind, overshadowed by the new life and loves he has found! Thank you for sharing his story. Carolyn

    He looks so sweet and good! His fur looks so soft I just want to hug his big head.

    We all should be a little bit proud, but Karen, you are the one that needs huge kudos. I'm clapping and clapping!

    I'm adopting Chip in my head to be George and Calvin's (my adopted pets) step-brother.

    Karen,
    Kudos to you for stepping up and bringing his plight to our attention. Some of the best money I ever spent and a wonderful Christmas present, too! I prayed every day for this dog's healing. Can you tell us which state he went to? I am in Florida and wish I could have had him. Thanks again for sharing this story. Bonnie

    I had to fight back tears reading about Chip. I love happy endings or wonderful new beginnings.
    I knew I would love your blog the minute I saw that you are a animal lover and I was right.
