Could You Love Me?

 

Could you love me?

This is a guest post by Savanah, a beautiful 8 month old, female, lab mix.  Savanah has been staying with a foster family (who already has three dogs of their own) but is longing for a home of her own.

Sometimes it seems to me as though everyone has a family to call their own, you know, their own pack. I see them at the dog park and often walking past the window of my foster home.  I think to myself, "You lucky dog! Do you know how blessed you are to have a family that loves, cares for and appreciates you?" 

"Don't get me wrong, my foster family is a loving, lively place; with a Pit Bull, Bichon and a Schnauzer, this place rocks!  But sometimes in those quiet moments just before I drift off to doggie dreamland I imagine a human who comes to adopt me as their very own loyal friend.  I image how I will wag my tail when I hear their footsteps returning home in the evening, how we will watch TV shows side by side, how I will take them for long walks in the autumn leaves giving them a little fresh air and exercise.  I picture running on the beach and swimming in the lake, but heck, even an inflatable kiddy pool would be great.

You see, I've worked really hard at being exactly eveything that humans say they want in a canine companion; I never bark, I'm clean in the house, I delight in my solitude (no separation anxiety), I get along well with kids, dogs and cats and I even have a few doggy tricks up my furry sleeve. 

I guess I'm especially disappointed because I had a wonderful couple who adopted me a week ago ... but they said I wasn't cuddly enough.... and they returned me in less than 24 hours.  According to them I was perfect in every other way.  Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understood being a 65 pound dog, I was taught that I wasn't exactly a cuddly lap dog, so I prefer to lay beside a human friend, not across them. 

Oh well, I'm not bitter, just a little disappointed, I know the "One" for me is out there.  In the mean time I will enjoy my foster brother and sisters, continue to be well behaved while I wait for that amazing day when I hear those words, "Come Savanah, we're going home girl."

If you think that you or someone you know is the "One" that Savanah is waiting for, please contact  the "Eat, Play, Love Animal Rescue" at their e-mail: eat.play.love.animal.rescue@gmail.com
Savanah is up to date with her vaccinations and is sterilized.
