I have such a doggone cute face.  That’s a fact.  I know because my girl always tells me just how doggone cute my face is.  I know she wouldn’t lie to me.  Anyway, the humans saw my cute little doggie face and their hearts melted.  Then they heard my tragic story and their hearts broke.  Lucky for me, they thought they could help.  I was rescued!!!  That’s code for “I think my cute face just saved me.”  You can read all about me, my humans, and the rest of the canine crew that I live with.  I tell my story in a book all about my journey from shelter to forever.  It did not come easily.  It did not come quickly.  But after many, many, many months (over a year) and difficult experiences too numerous to count, it came, and I am now on my way to my “Happily Ever After.”

My story is one of great struggles and deeply rooted fears that were seemingly impossible to overcome.  Trust was an emotion that I had never experienced.  I was nothing more than a quivering ball of fur that no one wanted to adopt.  In fact, I was scheduled to be euthanized.  That’s not a good thing.  Lucky again for me, I was moved to a different shelter that is a “no-kill” shelter… just in the nick of time.  This is where my humans came along and became part of my journey!  And the girls that work in the office at that shelter?  They smothered me with the first love I had ever known.  It felt so good!

My humans say that in spite of my horrible beginnings, I have an inner strength that helps me to fight on and conquer my personal challenges.  They say that I have insurmountable courage and the will to endure, even flourish.  I overcame most of my struggles and deep rooted fears.  I learned to trust, on most days anyway.  My humans had to juggle a plethora of emotions during this journey.  So did I.  There were times when we were all overjoyed and times when we were all frustrated.  There were times when we were all elated and times when we were all discouraged.  We all had good days, bad days, excellent days, and terrible days.  Lucky for me, they never quit on me and I never quit on myself.  We never quit on each other.   I think most lucky for me, I was surrounded with unconditional love.  Pure and simple, unconditional love and patience.   Lots and lots of patience from my humans.

My humans say that I have walked a million miles in my quest to overcome my past.  Well, I didn’t really walk those miles with my paws, but with my heart.  I still have more work to do because some days I have a bit of a setback.  I’m not so sure why, it just happens.  But I’ll fight on.  It’s what I do.  I take one fear at a time and work on that.  When I have that one fear conquered, I move on to my next one.  You can follow my rescue journey and my adventures through this book.  You will not be able to resist my doggone cute face and the heartwarming ending to my story.  When you’re finished, you’ll probably want to go to your nearest shelter and adopt one of those seemingly un-adoptable animals like me.
