This trip through memory lane in my photobucket got me nostalgic, and I've decided to make a thread to post my past favorite FOHA dogs over these five years I've been volunteering; those dogs that I will always remember, the dogs that took a piece of me when they left.
First, there was Cathy. She was a happy, playful young dog who was a little bit mouthy. I used to take her into the play area all the time to play with a large jolly ball (the ball no longer exists, it got torn to pieces some time ago). She was adopted, then came back because the Doberman (the family's other dog) decided he didn't like her and ripped open her head. Cathy was unfazed. She was still dog friendly, and was later adopted to another home with a dog where she still lives.
Then, there was Logan. He was found on a dark and stormy night running down the street. His owners were never found. Logan was always very people friendly, but when he first came to FOHA Logan was VERY dog reactive, to the point he would try to get at other dogs through his kennel. Through work, he was actually able to play with other dogs, and was adopted to a home with a pit/beagle mix where he still lives.
And there was Dixie, I called her my "Dixie-doodle". She was at FOHA a long time. She was easily overlooked for some reason. Even the lead volunteers would ask me who she was each week. But she was sweet, agile and smart. She was DA, which also contributed to the length of her stay.
