After having to put down our 14 year old Llasa Opso, Sonny, my husband and I were heart broken. One evening we were taking a ride by the beach--something we do often. My husband noticed a young couple walking several dogs looking very much like our Sonny. We pulled over to admire the beautiful little dogs and chatted with the couple. Alexandra told us that she worked with rescue dogs--mainly Llasa's and Shi-tsu's. She told us that if we ever thought about getting another pet, we should consider a rescue dog. We kept in touch, and one day I received an email. A Shi-tsu was found roaming the streets of Philadelphia----very dirty, very scared. Were we interested? We said no, and yet we could not stop thinking about this little guy. My husband was visiting our oldest son, who lives in Philadelphia-----he decided to pay a visit to the dogs foster home. He called me and just said, "He's a keeper." Charlie has been with us ever since, and we adore him! He is well-behaved, lovable, friendly, and a true member of the family. I often praise the wonderful work that the rescue teams do, and continue to encourage anyone to consider adopting a rescue animal. We are so thankful for Charlie--and he shows his appreciation every day ! Thank you Alex!!
