Adopt a Less Adoptable Week

There have been many posts this week about why you should adopt the "less-adoptable dogs" and even some posts on specific dogs looking for homes. What I want to share with you is a happy ending. 


Meet Numan G. Foreman III, but you can call him Numan...the less-adoptable. A big boy who was scheduled to be PTS because he had some serious phobias, and oh yeah, the resource guarding. Who would adopt a dog like that? 


While Numan isn't perfect, the Pagel's weren't looking for perfect. They were looking for goofy, lovable and loyal. Numan was happy to provide that and much more for his new family. And with some guidance and a good measure of positive-reinforcement training, they were able to work through the other issues. You know, the ones that Numan would have died for...


The Pagel's simply can't imagine their life without Numan, and Numan can't imagine life without his non-furry family! He snuggles on the couch to watch movies, opens the back door as he pleases to come & go out of the yard and even goes on outings to Home Depot to lend a helping paw. 


The point of the story is this: Every dog has something to offer. When picking a companion, focus on the traits that really matter to you.. you never know, that dog who doesn't look quite right, or has some quirky traits might just be your missing puzzle piece!
