MR.
REX
I am Mr. Rex, Tanner’s brother. It has taken a long time for me to find my forever happy home, but as you can see, I am finally there. Sharon and Miss Sonja Rae have given me lots of love and a chance to be part of their life. Tanner
and I lived with 10 other dogs.
We were not fed most of the time and had never lived in a
house. We were taken to
the Humane Society along with two of our other siblings who got
adopted. Sharon and her friends from Pet Pals For Life took Tanner and
I out of the Humane Society when a lady called and said our ‘time
was running out’. We
then lived at Happy Dog Boarding Kennel with Gerry and Annie for
another month. Pet
Pals For Life put many ads around town about us. A nice family saw them and came up to Happy Dog.
They could only take one of us and they chose Tanner.
After Tanner left I was very sad because I had been in a
kennel for so long and now was alone.
Gerry is a very nice man but I really needed a good home.
Sharon then adopted me from the shelter and Mary Sheffield,
one of her group members, said she would foster me until a good home
could be found. So I
went to live with Hershey and Mary’s 3 other dogs.
One
day after being groomed, Susan, another one of Sharon’s group
friends, took me to Once Upon A Child where Mary works.
A lady named Tracey came running across the room because I
reminded her so much of a dog she had lost 2 years before.
She wanted to know if she could keep me so the decision was
made to go live with her and Dr. Williams, who just happens to be
Sonja’s vet. I was
very happy with Tracey because she liked me so much, but it just
didn’t work out because I was a little ‘too protective’.
So Tracey brought me back to Mary’s house.
Sharon
decided to take me home to live with her and Sonja because she knew
I was really a good boy and just needed a chance.
Of course, I could have told her that when she first came and
picked me up at the shelter to take me for shots before going to
Happy Dog. In the
vet’s office I had given her my best loves with my beautiful brown
eyes. The
first days were a bit of a challenge because I had never had my own
yard before, so of course I was a bit too protective. Sonja is now teaching me not to be so afraid.
But I was good
from the beginning in the house, perfectly housetrained even though
I had always lived outside. I don’t chew on anything, but I do
have one habit that is a bit annoying.
I carry Sharon’s things everywhere – shoes, pants, even
her bra which I was ‘sporting’ in the backyard.
One day she had to look everywhere for her tennis shoe
which I had neatly buried in the mulch around the bushes.
But it’s only because I love her so much because she has
given me such a wonderful home. Now
I take walks with Sonja and Sharon, play with Sonja and Eleesha,
Sonja’s dog friend from next door, and go for rides.
We went on a nice vacation this summer and I was very good in
the motel room because Sonja is teaching me how to behave. And
guess what? Tanner is
living with his family just 10 blocks from my house.
I have not seen him yet but Sharon did stop and tell him
‘hello’. His family
is very happy with him, too. Tanner
lives with Mr. And Mr. Stommes, their four children, 2 frogs, 2
hamsters and a beautiful cat. We’re
going to go for a walk together soon. My
story has ended very happily because Sharon and Sonja have given me
such a wonderful home. But
there are so many pets that are not as fortunate because people
don’t want them. So
Pet Pals For Life is working very hard to find homes for unwanted
pets that end up in shelters and rescue centers.
They have wonderful books around town that tell stories of
pets they’ve helped find homes. Their group is also working with a national coalition to
convince people to spay and neuter their pets to prevent litters of
unwanted puppies and kittens. Sharon,
Sonja, Pet Pals For Life and I encourage you to help with this
effort. I,
as you can see, am a very Happy Boy!!!! P.S.
I still carry Sharon’s shoes and personal belongings
everywhere. But she is
understanding and knows it’s just because I love her so much. Love & Kisses, Rex
