~ADOPTED DECEMBER 2014~ Well, what a journey. What a transformation. Charli came to us a very timid, anxious girl - sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements - but just look at her now! We had a lot of adoption interest in this beautiful lady, but we needed to be sure that her new family could accept that her past had been traumatic and that they may need to take things slowly to gain her trust. Along came Sarah, Ben & Riley. Brokenhearted at the recent loss of their Malamute girl, Missy, they approached us, wanting to lavish all that love upon another dog in need. They had their eye on a few girls, but the one they kept coming back to was Charli. At first, we were cautious. How would a skittish dog who we werent sure had been around children, fit into a family with a 5 year old? We neednt have worried. Riley is an old soul and Charli warmed to him straight away at their meet and greet, choosing to approach him herself and make friends. The trial period began...and Sarah contacted us within hours to ask Do we really have to do a full two week trial? Were already in love! We were mean enough to make her wait it out, just to be sure that Charli, her Shepherd fur-bro, Shadow and the family were all OK with this new arrangement. Of course, things couldnt have gone smoother and Charli has slotted in like shes always been there. The heroes in this story are Charlis amazing foster parents, Adam & Rhonda. Full credit goes to them and their trusty Mally sidekicks, Rufus & Mischa for bringing this gorgeous girl out of her shell. Despite plenty of discussion on whether they could actually part with Charli and a few tears shed, they decided that her true home was with the Lawson family and they selflessly let her go. This little lady sure did land on all four paws when her previous owner dumped her in the overnight box at the pound. Perfect foster home, perfect forever home and a lifetime of love to come. We think that Missy would definitely approve. Happy furrytail ending, Charli!
