One of my favorites!

Miss Abby was one of my favorite dogs at the Shelter. I started working there over a year ago now, and she came in a couple weeks after I started. She was a Chow-Chow, and she, along with her Cocker Spaniel sister, were left at the Shelter because their family lost their home. And it's tragic because it is happening to so many families! Sometimes we forget that when people get displaced, so do their animals. Way too many animals end up at Shelters because of the economy.

Too many end up at Shelters because "we're moving and we can't take our dog/cat with us." Well, that's just B.S. I moved down here to Cedar City from Erda (just west of Salt Lake). I rented a big van, piled all the dogs and cats in it and drove down here. Then I rented a horse trailer and did the same thing with the horses. My husband was already working down here, so it was up to me. If I can do it, there's no reason others can't.

Anyway! I digress.

Everytime I went to the Shelter, Miss Abby had a new room-mate. She was such a gentle soul, always happy to have another dog to keep her company. Her sister, Cinnamon, was adopted just 2 weeks after coming to the Shelter. Abby stayed. And stayed. And stayed. She was there OVER A YEAR! A wonderful womany named Andrea got involved in the search for a home for Abby. And she finally found one. I can't begin to thank her enough for all she did for this wondeful dog. The girl that tried to make the best out of a bad situation, finally had a home of her very own. The following is a follow-up letter from the wonderful family who adopted her. I thank God every day for people like this!

We rescued Abby from a shelter in Enoch after recieving her information from Cause for Paws. ( Petfinder.com) she was in the "No Kill" shelter for 15 monthes. We saw her and immeadiatly fell in love with her. she has the sweetest brown eyes.She adapted right away to our children in which they are inseperatable. She enjoys walks, snack time, play time, bath time, and taking the children to the bus stop. She is the best dog we have ever owned. We only wish we would have found her sooner. how nobody wanted this beautiful, wonderful, caring chow chow is beyond me. She is happy,loved, and most of all our family member. We love our Little Ms. Abby-Girl, and are thankful each and everyday to have her a part of our lives. ~The Richards Family~
