Shortly after putting our 14yr old Chow to rest, we found ourselves looking for her in the usual places. We couldn't take it anymore, so we started looking on PetFinder for a rescue dog. We looked at many from all areas of the country, but none seemed to fit. We were in Miami and decided to look at two there. A soon as we came into the Miami Rescue Center, I wanted to find a dog called Gracie. She looked from the pictures that she deserved everything I could give her. When she came over to us, she stayed there and never left our side. So we had to take her (you know). Gracie's whole life had been chained to a patio or 8 months in a shelter. As we are truckers, we take her everywhere we go. She has been the most wonderful friend we have with us. She is known as "Gracie, America's Traveler". Thank you so much to all the "no kill" shelters for allowing us to enjoy this absolutely wonderful companion.
We were so taken by Gracie's appreciation and kindness that our son decided to adopt a fantastic girl named Sage from the Naples Humane Society. Sage was slated for destruction when the humane society grabbed her. She was less than 1 yr old. My son lived with us while he was getting adjusted to the area. Well when he moved Sage had a difficult time adjusting. Sage had spend so much time with Gracie, that she didn't want to leave her. We told our son that if he wanted we would take Sage also. Long story short, we have them both and they are the greatest girls. Better than most children. Look for us on the road! Thanks
