| Congratulations to Danika on going HOME! |
Do you know what a "Gotcha Day" is?
It's the day a homeless animal gets adopted - and then celebrated as an anniversary of sorts, often in lieu of an unknown birthday.
You might remember the post about Simeon and Garfunkel, the bonded pair of dogs who were the last of an animal hoarding situation? Good news for them, as well! Through some fantastic networking between the Humane Educational Society, the Eastern TN Alliance for Animals, a rescue group in Apple Valley, Wisconsin, and another group in New England? These two boys are headed for Massachusetts together. A family saw their story and fell in love. Congratulations, boys - your new life has been well earned!!
And last, but not least, on today's list is our sweet Selma. I got an update from her Mom last night with the above photo saying they had just returned from a nice walk. Selma is doing great! And you might notice she's even resting on what Uncle Chris likes to call a "Princess Bed." Remember the story about the Princess and the Pea? Our old greyhound used to love vacuuming day because I'd stack all his beds up, then he'd go crash on them. Seems like Selma has this skill down pat as well.
I'm so happy to announce that this past week saw our old friend, Danika, celebrate her Gotcha Day! You might remember she spent a short time fostering with Uncle Chris and Auntie Kate this past year. After the extensive work Danika did with professional trainer Loren Leffew, Danika is now a fun and energetic dog with excellent manners and a whole host of skills - along with a slew of awards from the AKC for her obedience talents and a Canine Good Citizen certification. And as of this past week she's also the latest addition to a loving family with a couple of kids to play with and a big fenced yard to play in. Congratulations to Danika and her new family, Loren, and the Humane Educational Society in Chattanooga for making all of this happen. Nice work, everyone!

| I wonder how Selma is doing? Oh - pretty good, I guess! |

Stay Tuned:
Coming soon is another story about a special dog in foster care looking for a special home. It might be you... right?
