Welcome to the Shire

Duffy is a happy boy now! After 7 long years, he has a forever home. You see? There was someone out there for him.

This story was passed around and posted just about everywhere. That is what got him a new home. Websites, blogs, facebooks…you name it. Post the causes that are important to you and somewhere, someone will pass it on. Someone will notice. And in this case, someone did something. They adopted Duffy.

Duffy was with Pet Rescue, Inc. of Miami, Florida.

This beautiful boy has been in a shelter now for 7 long years! At 9 years old now, a senior, he still does not have a forever home. This is very heartbreaking. Senior dogs make wonderful pets for those who do not have the time to raise a puppy to a dog, but want a true friend. Duffy is in Florida. If anyone passes by here and sees his story, please send this onto someone who is considering a senior friend. Here is his story:

Hi, I am Duffy , a handsome shepherd mix. I have been here patiently waiting in my little kennel for seven long years. I have never lost hope, but I have to admit, my chances for my own forever home are looking a little dismal. I arrived at the shelter when I was a four month old pup and was adopted right away. But there was some trouble with my family and I ended up being returned to the shelter because they weren’t treating me very well. That was when I was about 2 years old, and here I have sat ever since. I am now 9 years old and I am just wondering, how much longer do I have to wait? I have seen hundreds of friends come and go over these seven years, and I am just as handsome as they were (even more than some !) and have lots of personality. I am friendly and cheerful. Always up for my favorite games of tug of war and fetch. I know I am considered a mature adult now, but I have many great years ahead of me. I would be perfectly content to hang out with a family in their living room watching football, the news, maybe the dog whisperer or whatever they want really, their choice. I don’t need a lot of exercise, but I do love leisurely walks, which I am very good at. I don’t pull or chase after cats. I weigh about 50 lbs. Just the perfect size to cuddle up in one of those comfy dog beds I have heard about. I am healthy and affectionate and I really am begging for a chance at my own home and family. Just think about it please. And if you decide to give me my chance, I won’t let you down. Call my best fan, Kathy @ 305-401-4693 or email her at klcremer@aol.com and she will set it up for us.

Please note: Duffy needs to be an only dog, or with a very mellow older female. No good with cats or male dogs.

Still…there is a home out there for him. Lets all try to get him one.

You ask of my companions. Hills, sir, and the sundown, and a dog as large as myself that my father bought me. They are better than human beings, because they know but do not tell. ~Emily Dickinson
