Rescue's Name: Luna
Rescued From: DFW Pug Rescue
Luna 's story:
A Rescuer's Dream Come True
I got a letter in the mail yesterday from Bob and Jan, who adopted Luna from Dallas Fort Worth Pug Rescue over a year ago. I remember the day we met Bob and Jan. They were standing by their car pacing in eager anticipation to meet the queen bee, their new puggy girl, Luna. Carlos and I knew right away we were looking at some serious puggy folks here, since they had a shiny new harness in their hands and could hardly wait to tell us all about their other pug, Hugo, and the little puggy girl they had lost whom they had loved dearly. It was time for Hugo to have a new sister!
Luna had been given to pug rescue by a former owner who kept her in a crate all day with her sister. He confided he also kept a cardboard box in the crate so she would not be able to move around much. This way there would be no bathroom accidents for him to clean up at the end of the day.
Bob and Jan took Luna to her new home on Turtle Creek in Dallas last year. They lived several floors up, but were happy to report that, since they were retired, they would be home with her all day and she would be taken down the elevator several times a day for strolls. Their letter yesterday was to let me know they have downsized their Dallas apartment and bought a new place. Luna and Hugo are now enjoying the sand and surf at Hilton Head.
God works in wonderful ways.

Rescue's Name: Sam
Rescued From: Dallas/Ft.Worth Sheltie Rescue, Inc.
Sam's story:
I adopted Sam in November 2000. He clearly had suffered from abuse. In May 2002, Sam, as a Therapy Dog Inc. certified dog, was accepted to be a therapy dog in the Edward Hospital Animal Assisted Therapy Dog program in Naperville, Illinois, which is now the largest hospital based therapy dog program in the country. Sam, who the vet guesses to be 12 years old, just retired after six plus years in the program. Thank you Dallas/Ft.Worth Sheltie Rescue!

Rescue's Name: Sugar
Rescued From: German Shepherd Rescue Central Texas
Sugar 's story:
Sugar was a foster dog of mine through German Shepherd Rescue Central Texas (http://gsdrescuectx.com). She was first adopted to a woman who's husband (they met on the internet) was a policeman. He'd wanted a canine company for a long time. The wife finally relented (reluctantly). The wife then completely changed her mind, after the husband had totally fallen in love with Sugar. The rescue group and I took her back. Her second adoption was a total flop. I let a friend adopt Sugar only their personalities clashed completely. If Sugar could misbehave, she did so at every opportunity. The rescue and I took Sugar back. Her third adoption seemed to be a match made in heaven. She had a canine companion as well as a young, energetic human couple. Two years after her adoption and the purchase of a house, this couple banned Sugar and her companion to the back yard. Sugar learned to bark. She barked all day and all night. The rescue and I took her back. This foster (me) couldn't bear to send Sugar away anymore. So my new boyfriend (who fell in love with her) and I adopted her. She's NEVER misbehaved for me ever! She gets along very well with my whole pack. Sugar is the best!
