She is a 10 month old Yorkie-Poo that we found at the county animal shelter yesterday. Her previous owner was a sweet old woman who was no longer able to care for her, and her grandson brought her in to the shelter. They told him that if he was surrendering her that he needed to either take her next door to the humane society or fill out paperwork and pay a surrender fee. He didn't want to do either one, so he walked out the door, set her in the grass in front of the shelter, and drove off. She is still on hold for owner retrieval, but on Monday (that is tomorrow) she is released from the hold and we can pick her up at 1pm. I signed a hold contract and paid a deposit to ensure that we get her, and will pay the rest of the $100 adoption fee tomorrow (that includes shots, deworming, spay, and license for this year). Jojo is super excited to be able to go get her tomorrow afternoon, and her sisters are also thrilled that when they get home from school she'll be here as a part of our family. I just have to detangle her poor fur, it is all matted and she needs a good bath. She is so sweet though, we could tell when we were there that she was just terrified at being in a little cage there in the cat room and she just kept shaking. Scott was the one she warmed up to, she snuggled him happily and rubbed his legs when he set her down for the girls to see her.
I hope she adjusts quickly and happily to her new home with us. The girls are beyond ecstatic to have her coming to join our family.
