Third Time is the Charm

We live on a farm with 6 miniature horses, 1 quarter horse, 5 dogs and 3 cats. After we got over the loss of our 14 year old, Australian Shepherd, Laredo, we knew we wanted another rescue dog to help us around the farm.

Our dream dog has always been a Great Pyrenees. We found "Doc" at the Watauga Animal Service Center via Petfinder.com. We learned from the Animal Services Supervisor that "Doc" had been adopted on 2 previous occasions and had been returned to the shelter.

We were a bit skeptical, but, could not resist his picture on Petfinder. I went to visit Doc at the shelter. With those kind eyes I thought he was definitely worth a try. We carefully introduced him to our dogs and then to our herd of horses. He adapted quickly to our busy life and all the animals in it.

As evidenced by the picture Doc was a perfect fit for our family. He loves life on the farm especially the back rubs from his miniature buddy, Bandit.

The third time was truly the charm for Doc. Thanks to Petfinder and the staff at the Watauga Animal Shelter who gave Doc the chance he deserved for a home.
