Happy Adoption Day Stella!

A year ago today we rescued Stella…our lovable, slightly crazy little girl! I still can’t believe that Don agreed to get a third dog! She came to the rescue we got her from as a surrender from a puppy mill. Apparently she was the result of an accidental breeding between an Italian Greyhound and a Jack Russell. When the puppy mill owner couldn’t sell her to his pet store clientele, he didn’t have a need for her. Luckily a lady in the area convinced him to surrender Stella to STAFF instead of disposing of her. I found her on Petfinder, my favorite resource to find dogs who need homes.

We love our little girl, (even with her crazy crackhead puppy/Jack Russell energy), and I’m so glad that she got a second chance at life. Please…if you’re thinking of getting a dog, consider adoption/rescue. If you have any questions about rescue, post them here in the comments field or feel free to email me at agoutloud@gmail.com.

A BIG thank you to all the volunteers at S.T.A.F.F in Laurie, MO. for the amazing work they do to rescue animals. We had such a rewarding experience rescuing Stella. I especially want to extend my gratitude to the manager, Dawn Ely, who answered a lot of my questions and so selflessly devotes her time to the cause of rescuing. I also want to specially thank Joan Willcott, who brought Stella from Laurie, MO. to Kansas City to meet us halfway. People like Dawn and Joan do God’s work in my opinion. Pets give us such joy and unconditional love…they deserve to have wonderful lives and forever homes.

Stella had me give the great people at S.T.A.F.F this card:

This whole rescue process has been so amazing…I can’t even tell you how on top of the world I am.

We couldn’t be more thrilled! What a great day!
