We Adopted A Dog From An Animal Shelter And She Became Our Daughter’s Best Friend
We adopted Lucy from a no-kill shelter in San Antonio when she was estimated to be about four months old. She had been found on the street, underweight, scared and battling parvovirus. Thanks to the amazing team at San Antonio Pet’s Alive, and because she is a tough girl, she pulled through.
The day we spotted her in her kennel, it was as if her and my daughter picked each other. As she became comfortable in our home, her wonderful personality came out. We quickly saw that she is the most playful, fun, and protective fur baby. She is a wonderful part of our family, and my daughter’s constant pal.

We never feel lonely in the mornings
Lucy is the world’s best cuddler
She is always by Mia’s side, and loves to play with her
Or nap next to her
They love to be silly together
Lucy loves to sample peanut butter biscuits
She is a great help when we need holes dug
She is not a fan of baths, but she loves the bubbles
She likes to steal the attention from Mia
But we don’t mind, because we love her so much

haha I can be, but Mia was begging to try this, so we gave it a try! Most of the germs are coming from Lucy's kisses or messy paws! lol

That is such a lovely story. What a lovely dog! I would love to rescue a dog for my little girl but we have such busy lives it wouldn't be fair!

I will love to have a pet to play with, but I always think how they will die and it breaks my heart. The pics r nice.

I've done a little bit of fostering for SAPA--it's a great organization. It's so nice to see the successes.

I lost my first puppy to Parvo, and our neighbours had a litter of German Shepard/Malamute/Wolf pups and gave me one. I remember carrying him home. I was two years old. He was my best friend, my protector, and everything to me, especially as I was an Asperger's child. We had to put him to sleep on my 25th birthday, and I held that great head in my arms and said good bye to my best friend. Animals are so important for children, especially children with special needs. They mean the world to them! Bright blessings to these two friends!

Oh my goodness, this made me cry! I don't even want to think about the day that Lucy is not longer a part of our family. I'm so glad that you had many happy memories with your pup though. The visual of you carrying that puppy home is the sweetest thing. Thank you for sharing.
