The Winner of the Sharpei Lotto is....

There are times when you have a warm feeling inside after a rescue.  I got that feeling when I placed Zeus, because he did go to a wonderful home and a really great family.  Well, I was able to get that feeling again this last week when I placed Wrinkles (now SusieQ) to Kathy at Merlins Hope.  I've sent other little ones there before and each and every time I say this.  There is no better rescue than Kathy.  She is the most caring, compassionate and understanding dog owner I know.  Speaking as a dog trainer / behaviorist Kathy is unmatched.  I NEVER worry about her ability to handle a dog...  the way the dog needs to be handled.  I don't think  I can say that about many other people that I know.

Kathy knew that Susie Q was dear to my heart and emailed me early one morning announcing her decision.  I had tears in my eyes because I knew that Susie Q had hit the LOTTO.  I immediately began preparations for her journey to the Great White North.  And, within 2 days Susie Q arrived at her home.  The best part is that there are never any questions.  I've already received several updates including pictures and stories of how Susie Q is fitting in, which as I would expect is very well.  

One of the best things about doing rescue is the wonderful people you meet... and Kathy of Merlins Hope is one of those people.
