I was lucky to find a great new family

Hi there friends – I don’t have long, my new mom’s in the shower and she doesn’t know that I’m computer savvy! She was supposed to write this story, but who better than me, right? I know we’ve never met, but I’m sure my story will warm your hearts.

I was not loved or wanted; and I was given up for adoption. Even though I’m so incredibly beautiful with black hair and piercing black eyes (yeah, I’m a diva!), I had no where to go until an angel named Dianne came along. I gave her a big hug and she took me and my sister home to foster.

Just before Thanksgiving, Dianne talked with a couple who were interested in providing a loving forever home for me. Forever! I am very shy, so our first meeting was a little overwhelming, but guess what, I went home with them just before Christmas, and my life is fab!

You see, I’m a 6-month-old border collie mix that was being fostered through Animals Best Friends. They do the best job at finding forever homes for gals and guys like me. Do you know my new parents even updated their fence (just for me)!

I even get to go to doggie day care when my mom and dad have to work. I’ve met a lot of new four-legged friends there. The holidays were lots of fun too, got to meet my two-legged relatives! They even gave me presents – awwwww!

I keep hearing my forever parents say, “Ginger is just the sweetest puppy”! That’s right, my name is Ginger and I don’t mean to brag, but I am a great girl! It’s also been said that “I can’t hold my licker.” I give great kisses! Some things are private, but I must tell you that I was potty-trained in two days, and I’m learning to use a bell on the back door to tell my parents when I need to take care of business. Right now, I’ve trained them to ring it, but I think I’ll ring it soon just to amuse them. DL! (Doggie Laughs)

Uh, oh, I hear the shower turning off so I better finish up. Just remember, adopting a pet is so rewarding for us and for you humans as well. My sister Hannah still needs a forever home and she’s just as beautiful and loving as me. Take a look at www.animalsbestfriends.org.

Hugs and Licks,

Ginger

FYI: I sent a text message (don’t tell my mom) to one of my new human friends named Michelle. She’s going to teach me how to use my mom’s credit cards soon. Can’t wait to get those fab doggie toys shipped right to my front door! I’ll let you know how that goes.
