When Our 13 year old Yoshi died from cancer ,we were so heartbroken that it took another year for us to look again. We went to HSHV to look at puppies from the Puppy Train (a.k.a., Love Train). Instead of a puppy, we found River (now Molly). We decided to walk her, and before we took five steps we knew she was the one. We all were floored by how much she resembled our Yoshi and we were more shocked to see that on her paperwork her estimated birthday was the day that Yoshi passed away. It was like she had come back to us!

Later, we learned River was named after she swam across the Tombigbee River, while pregnant to get the help of some people standing on a dock! She is such a brave, sweet girl, and we are so thankful she found us!

Lil’ Bit (now Emmie) we adopted two months later for Mother’s Day. We were looking for a bigger friend for Molly and instead we found the little, spunky tri-pod that wouldn’t let three legs slow her down. We took some time to play with her and watching her chase my son back and forth; I knew she was meant for us!

They are such a part of our family and they were fast friends! We couldn’t imagine life without them! Thank you, HSHV!!
