Shemp

January 2, 2007

Here is one nice pup that truly won the dog rescue lottery today.  Here he is getting his go-home picture with his new family. When they came to see him, he sensed something was up and was on his very best behavior. He did everything he knew to sell himself, and it worked! So we say goodbye to a nice and happy dog. In his short stay with us, he worked his way into everyone's heart. We hope we get to see him come back for a visit sometime.

Shemp was with us for just less than a week. He came from the Calaveras shelter where he wound up as a stray. When his number was up, the Calaveras Humane Society rescued him. Luckily our other Calaveras dog, Buster, had left a couple of days before, off to his new home. Events came together and out Shemp came for school.

When he arrived they were calling him Shep, because of his looks. We put him into our largest outdoor run with the two other Second Chance dogs and they had so much fun together that they looked like the Three Stooges. Shemp fit his personality so that's how he earned his moniker.

Not much else to write about him, other to say that he is truly a nice dog. All he wanted was to be with you. He has that happy expression that says it all. We'll definitely miss him1
