Happy ending for Speedy (formerly Stevie)


On July 10, 2010 we adopted Stevie who is now known as "Speedy". Our intention was to look for a specific type of of dog that was to arrive later that afternoon. While waiting we visited the kennel area to see the other dogs. There was a Chihuahua that caught my husbands attention and he asked what was his story. Next thing we know our whole family was sitting in the Play area/Gazebo for a long time. He was very shy and timid, but there was something so special about him we decided to adopt him no matter what! We waited for the other dog, that finally arrived, but it did not feel right. We walked out with Speedy. It was meant to be, Speedy found us! It has been a week and he is adjusting to his new home very well. He is definitely a lady's man and loves spending time with myself and my daughter. He is slowly getting to know my husband and son, but on his terms. The cats have "allowed" him to stay in the house. The shyness is definitely disappearing. He loves giving kisses and showing off his goofy smile while playing. Speedy loves going on long walks, and our pond is his favorite area to visit. Thank-you to everyone at TLC for helping us finding this little guy. Christina, Michael, Victoria & Jonathan Dokter
