Congratulations to Strider, GSRNE #278
for being the first adoption of 2010!!
Adopted January 1, 2010. Thank you for
helping
us start the new year on such a positive note.
Strider is a large
black and tan male GSD that came to GSRNE following sad circumstances.
Strider had lived in a loving country home for seven years before his
owner passed away after a long illness. Strider’s owner had asked that
his family take good care of his beloved pet in his absence, as
Strider was the apple of his owner’s eye. True to their word, the
family took Strider into their home, but soon realized that their busy
city household with two other dogs was not an ideal home for Strider.
Although it was a
very difficult decision for the family, they realized that Strider
needed different circumstances to truly be happy. After careful
thought, the family called GSRNE for help. The family felt that if
they could find a loving, devoted home, they would be looking out for
Strider’s best interests.
And we did find him
a home that was perfect for him! Strider
has gone to live with repeat
adopters whose previously adopted dog passed away in September from
bloat. They wanted to adopt again and Strider was a great match for
them. They are a retired couple and always take their dog with them on
errands so would have a lot of time to spend with Strider.
They
live in a quiet area surrounded by woods similar to what Strider was
used to in his previous home. They take long walks in the woods and go
camping at various campgrounds and at the local state park. They were
looking for a buddy and people friendly, loving ,family dog. Strider
likes to be with his people, go for long walks, and adores the country/camping/swimming, so we
thought he would feel right at home.
And
we were right! His adopters told us, "It
feels like he has lived with us forever!!
Thanks soooo much for matching us with Strider; he
will have a forever home with us!!! It has been a real pleasure to deal with everyone at GSRNE.
THANKS AGAIN!!! You have all helped to fill our hearts again with a warm and
loving friend and companion."
IT'S HERE!
