Meet Dusty...

After over a year without having a canine member of the family (and months of searching), we adopted Dusty in the middle of January. I had missed having a dog since Rusty's passing in October of 2023, and so for me the time felt right.

Although Dusty was initially shy and hesitant when we first met her at the shelter, we decided to give her a chance and returned the next day to see her again. The shelter let us take her home for the afternoon to see if she would settle - and she definitely did. We all fell in love with her and returned to the shelter to officially adopt her that same afternoon!

Dusty immediately settled in, eager to explore her new surroundings. She is such a good dog, house-trained, and gentle with our children. She also enjoys walks, playing fetch with her ball, and chewing on her toys. We all love our new family member so much!

Our first meeting with Dusty.

Back at the shelter the next day with Candace.

Sweet dog completely at home. :)
