"What about this for a success story?!!:-))

2 days ago a friend of mine from the Midlands told me of a 3 legged GSD she had rescued from the local dog shelter (Hopsie is his name). He was in danger of being put to sleep if no home could have been found, so Dawn adopted him from them and set about finding a home herself.

"She emailed me to ask for advice and I put his details on our rescue web site under the heading of "Other dogs we know of". Last thing I really expected was a response. I imagined it would take *ages* if at all, to find a home for a disabled dog.

"Anyway, within 12 hours, Dawn had 2 phone calls from people who had seen the dog . They had got to our site via the Rescue Pet database search.

"Today she has visited one of the people and Hopsie is tonight, in his new home complete with new doggie friend and humans.

"We are all very excited by the news and hope it continues to work well for the lad" RescuePet applauds Hopsies new owners for their kindness and compassion in taking on such a special dog and wishes Hopsie and his new owners all the best for the future.
