The bleak weather and news are getting me down. I’m a sucker for an adoption story, so let’s start our own happy hound news thread !
What’s your dog adoption story? Did you plan to adopt, or did your pup unexpectedly find their way into your life? How did you know your dog was the one? Were there any challenges or surprises along the way, and how has life changed since bringing them home?
Let’s share our stories and celebrate the fantastic Fidos who’ve found their forever families!

All my dogs have been rescues. My youngest dog, Falkor, came to me at a very sad time in my life. One of my other dogs, whom I had for 14 years, passed away from sudden heart failure, and just 2 months later, a very close family member passed away unexpectedly. It was a devastating time for me, and I didn’t have a big support system to lean on. A neighbor had recently taken in a pregnant stray dog. She didn’t know what to do with the puppies and planned to take them to a shelter but was worried they might not be adopted due to being mixed breeds of unknown origin. One day, she asked me if I wanted to hang out with the puppies because I was so sad, and of course, I said yes. As I was covered in puppy kisses, one little guy settled on my lap, snuggled in, and would not budge. The connection was made, and that little furball came home with me that day. I named him Falkor; he has been my best little buddy since then. He is terribly spoiled, but that’s fine with me. He 100% came to me right when I needed him and has been such a joy to have in my life.
