Little Nutmeg is now "Pepper"

Our sweet little foster Nutmeg, now named Pepper, was adopted and she moved into her forever home earlier this week. Let the spoiling commence! The retired couple who adopted this sweet baby has already decked her out in style, taken her to the vet, licensed her and bought her all kinds of goodies. She never leaves their sides and is being given all the belly rubs her little heart desires (and trust me, this girl LOVES her belly rubs.)

This was a dog with a sad, sad history. A throw away pup who had been used as "livestock" and then dumped. But her sad story is over and she is now living the high life. She went from being pulled off the euthanization table to the lap of luxury in less than a month. You go girl!

I just wish that all the dogs in this throw-away society could have such a happy ending. Right now we are in the middle of what we in rescue call "the dumping season". All those cute little puppies that were given as Christmas presents, are now all grown up and because they weren't trained they are no longer so cute and so off they go to the shelter. People have vacations and things to do over the summer and don't want the responsibility of making sure the dog is taken care of. I'd love to plop a few of them on the euthanization table, that's for sure.

Thanks to all of you who read this and have taken a rescued dog into your hearts and homes. Those little dogs are worth their weight in gold and you are a hero for saving them.
