Let Me Tell You About My Journey To My Forever Home

Hi Friends! I have been looking at pictures from the last couple of years. I can't believe what it means to be rescued. It seems like only yesterday I was locked in a cage, with nothing to do but father puppies. I had no healthy food or clean water, no soft bed, just hard wire mesh that was dirty, and no protection from the cold, wind or rain. Then I heard the man say I was useless. It was time to get rid of me. I had no idea what that meant. Most dogs in the south like me are dumped on a side road, dropped at a kill shelter, or killed. One day the man pulled me out of my cage and handed me to this lady. I was so scared I just shook. I wondered was today the end of me? Guess what it was my own puppy angel. I know her now as Auntie Sheila. She is an amazing person who finds doggies with no hope like me, and works with other rescue partners to send pups like me to safe places. What I didn't know is at this same time Aunty Kim from Diamond Dogs was reaching out to her friend to see if she would take a "special pup" (yes me). Why was I special? I had so much fear of humans I would go potty every time they came near me. The person she reached out to is now my Momma. Here is the thing... what if my Momma had said no? I don’t want to think about it. I have learned being a part of rescue that if there is no one to foster, a pup like me has no where to go. I was so lucky my Momma said yes to fostering me, even though there was no guarantee I would get over my fears. It took me a long time to learn to trust. One day Momma (when she was still my foster Momma) was holding me and she was crying she said she had failed. I was hoping I could make her feel better. It took a little bit to realize she had happy tears. I found out I was staying with her forever. I had my very own human Momma! It was that day that she whispered in my ear that even though I was little I could do big things. She said I would be the voice of pups everywhere who can't speak up. Today I spend my days napping on the couch, sleeping in Momma's bed, and sharing my adopt don't shop message everywhere I go. I had no idea life could be so simply amazing! Love Your Grateful to be Rescued Pup, King
