A little about myself. I am incredibly passionate about animals. To be honest, I usually enjoy their company more than most people. We recently had to euthanize our family dog due to cancer and it’s been incredibly difficult. My son and husband were ready for a new dog. I was hesistant still but I began looking up younger dogs than can still be trained in my area. There weren’t any as I am from a small town. I did find a post from a rescue shelter about 2 hours from where I live. It was an urgent message for a dog named Nala because she was due to be euthanized due to overcrowding. The problem was that she was almost 12 hours away from me in a different state. Through a lot of communication and hard work we finally got her close to us. We met her and fell in love. I strongly agree with the phrase “adopt, don’t shop.” We live in a wonderful mountain town and we can’t wait to have many new adventures with our family addition.
