Our beloved dog Zacky passed away recently. He was a small, loving dog and we also loved him very much. After he passed, we decided we were going to adopt another dog. We searched the internet for an organization that helped people like us, who were looking for a new dog or cat to help them find happiness again. We found a place with plenty of abandoned animals waiting for a new home, animals who just wanted someone to love and care for them. We went to get one dog but wound up bringing home two. Both of them had been abused before making it to the shelter. All these little dogs wanted and needed was love, food, occasional trips to the vet and daily walks. We were willing to give that to them and more. Now as they both lie here beside me, I think about how lucky I am to have found them. We may have brought them home form the shelter, but they are the ones who rescued me.
