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.
