We have been approved to adopt a rescue dog from Texas. He will arrive in Canada on January 17th. He was found on the streets and he is a possible Soft-coated Wheaton terrier and Poodle mix — a Whoodle!
When we lost Molly my initial impulse was that I could never go through that heartbreak again. But then, as we worked to process the intense grief, I learned that my heart would be more affected by never having the presence of a dog in our lives again.
So we started looking at rescue listings again and had an initial disappointment as one dog we had started to fall in love with from a distance was adopted ahead of our application.
Rescue adoptions have become quite complex since we adopted Molly 14 years ago. There is now much more care and detail in the process which presented some hurdles but we appreciate the care involved.
We got wonderful references from three friends and spoke with a dedicated rep from the rescue learning more about the absolutely dire situation for abandoned dogs in Texas.
We are so happy to soon have little Nigel (the name we are giving him) come into our home.
