Dear Judy and Friends,
        Although I have written to you a few times since my husband and I adopted “ Dallas ” (NKA Zoe) in January, I wanted to write to you again.  We have had Zoe for a little over six months now, and I cannot begin to tell you how much better our lives are simply because we chose to expand our little family.  It was just the two of us, and we didn’t even know that something was missing, we thought we were perfectly happy.
        When we went to your location, we originally asked about a different dog, which I had seen on your website.  Hannah gave us some info, and we knew that this dog would not be a good fit for us.  At that time, “ Dallas ” was in the front office in a crate, and we observed some children petting her and talking to her;  their Dad told us how much they loved this particular dog.  Hannah asked if we wanted to walk outside with her and Dallas , since she needed a potty break anyway, and we did.  Then, we visited with Dallas in your meet and greet area, and we saw how sweet and loving she was.
        We had also visited with three other great dogs at Pet Alliance that morning, so we knew we had to make a decision.  We went to lunch and discussed the pros and cons of each dog, and decided on Dallas .  We picked her up a few days later, and she instantly worked her way into our hearts.  On the ride home, she tried to climb in Rob’s lap in the driver’s seat.  There was no real “settling in” period, she just made herself right at home, and we took to one another right away.
        I am happy to tell you that the three of us are still blissfully happy together!  She has dropped six pounds (the vet recommended ten, so we are working on it), and she loves her daily walks through the neighborhood.  All of the kids in our subdivision know and love her.  It is not unusual to hear a shout of “Zoe!” from behind or ahead of us, then for a child to run up and throw their arms around her.  She is good with all of them, but especially with the younger ones.  There is a little girl in our neighborhood who was terrified of dogs originally…but, Zoe won her over.  And the adults all comment on how well behaved she is.  For that, we thank you, because she had a really good start.  We were brand new to dog ownership, so we can’t take credit for her behavior.
        Zoe has a great sense of humor, and makes us laugh on a daily basis, but it is mostly her sweet nature that makes us love her.  She can be stubborn at times (she is known to stop and lay down on the sidewalk if she is tired of walking, or wants to observe a cat or squirrel), but we can’t even get mad at her for it, because she is so loving and sweet.  When I come home from work in the afternoons, her entire body “wags”, she is so excited to see me.  She loves it best when all three of us can do something together, so we don’t really feel like she has a “favorite.”
        Anyway, I didn’t mean to go on this long.  I just wanted to let you know that we were a match made in heaven, and that your beloved “ Dallas ” has indeed found her forever home.  Bless all of you for everything you do to make sure the dogs in your care find the right homes, where they will be loved and taken care of.  And mostly, bless all of you for taking such good care of our little girl until she rescued us.
        I am also sending a copy of our adoption day photo, and two new photos, I hope you enjoy them.


Much love,
Carla, Rob, and Zoe
