TEDDY BEAR
My name is "Teddy Bear". You may remember me as "Bear". I was at the Sioux Falls Humane Society for a very long time. The lady who brought me there said I barked a lot and she really didn't care what happened to me. I was very dirty and scruffy and probably not very appealing to all the people looking for a new dog. Pet Pals For Life organizers felt sorry for me so they took me to Sylvia for grooming so I would be more adoptable. Susan from Pet Pals For Life had really taken a liking to me and stopped by to say "Hello" several times during my stay at the shelter. One day a nice lady from the shelter called Susan and told her Tanner, Rex and my time to remain at the shelter was 'running out' because they were so crowded. That didn't sound very good so Susan, Sandy and Sharon decided to help us out. Susan took me home to foster and Pet Pals For Life made arrangements to board Tanner and Rex at Happy Dog Kennels. I was so charming and lovable that Susan decided to adopt me. She took me to Dr. Sommers for neutering and a hernia repair. Dr. Sommers also discovered 3 bee -bee shots imbedded in my skin. I certainly felt better when he removed those!! I also had a bad tapeworm that made me very skinny. Susan got special medication to make the nasty thing go away. It was wonderful living with Susan, Mark, their two boys and their beautiful cats, Samantha and Murray. I got to go everywhere with Susan in the van and Mark took me for walks in the morning. There was only one problem. I had been ignored for most of my 4 years so of course I wanted to be everywhere Susan was - even in the bedroom where I was somewhat restless, jumping up and off the bed. That wasn't good. Also, Susan's two boys have allergies and started having reactions to pets in the house. So a very emotional and difficult decision had to be made. Susan would have to find me a new home. Sharon took beautiful pictures of me and posted them in her coffee shop and in the Pet Pals For Life pet books. Susan put ads in the paper and took flyers to pet shops and grooming salons. And you know what? A miracle happened. Enter Jack and Shirley Harris, the most wonderful retired couple any dog could meet. And the irony of it is, they already knew all about me. You see, they had been up to the Humane Society to see me before Susan took me home. When they went back to adopt me, I was already gone. Shirley saw the ad in the paper and just knew it had to be the same dog. So she called Susan, a meeting was set up, and one evening Jack and Shirley came over to Susan's house. I loved them right away - and they loved me back because I reminded them of Tony, the dog they had recently lost. So I finally have a forever, wonderful home. Jack and Shirley have become active members of Pet Pals For Life and I get to see Susan, Sharon and Sandy often. I go everywhere with Jack and Shirley. Shirley says 'I drive the car'. Jack takes me for walks everyday in McKennan Park where I try to catch all the squirrels. Recently I got to go over to Susan's house and visit Mark. He was very glad to see how handsome I had become. I gave him a special kiss. It was very sad for Susan when she had to give me up because she loved me so much. But now she gets to share me with Jack and Shirley and still be part of my life. Right now Jack and Shirley are helping Pet Pals For Life find a home for a beautiful diabetic cat named Valentino who needs a 'special care home'. I also have a new playmate, a tiny black teacup poodle that Jack and Shirley's daughter adopted. Susan found it advertised in the newspaper. I love my family and Pet Pals For Life because they knew what a wonderful boy I was and helped me find a new life. Thank you so much!! Love & Kisses, Teddy Bear P.S. Jack and Shirley changed my name from 'Bear' to 'Teddy Bear' because I am so loveable and wooly.
