I lost my pomeranian, Boo Bear, 3 days before Christmas in 2013. He was my first dog and such a love; when he passed away I felt a huge void in my life.
When I was ready, I combed through thousands of dogs in the area but they didn't seem to fit. Then I saw her...This wide eyed little puppy waiting in foster care. Her name was after a character on my favorite show, "Sansa." I felt this was meant to be.
She had been left on the side of the road in Memphis with her two brothers. She looked like a pitbull puppy so she was immediately placed on death-row and had no shot at adoption. Her foster mom saw her in the list of death-row pups and showed up at the shelter door that morning to claim her. By the time I found her on the adoption page she'd been in foster care for a month and had already learned her basic obedience commands.
I put in an application and went to see her within a couple days. When I arrived at the house I fell in love immediately. This little 20 lb bundle of energy bounded over to me, her tail wagging a mile a minute. Her bright eyes beckoned me to fall in love with her from the start. I was heart broken when I couldn't take her that day and had to wait another 2 weeks. The foster mom gave up waiting for the group to give approval and let me take her home on February 8th 2014.
She's now my baby. We know she is 50% Jack Russel. (She has the Russel Springs in her feet!) She's our resident fly catcher, cuddle bug and speed racer. I vowed when I brought her into our life that she would never know fear or pain again and in return she has given me a joy that I felt was lost forever when I lost my pom.
