My New Friend

So I have finally done it. I have been saying I want a dog since the storm hit and yesterday I went to the SPCA to adopt one. She is a Shepard mix (with what I don't know), brown and black, weighs 35 pounds and is two years old. The lady at the SPCA said that she isn't going to get any bigger. I hope not. She is so sweet and well trained. It is completely obvious that she came from a home. I am wondering if she misses her home. She is so quiet and when they go to get her out of the cage, she backs aways in fear. I was so drawn to her. I told her to sit and she sat. The bad new is she has heartworms. I don't know how advanced it is but I am hoping she can be cured. The SPCA will do all it can to help me and I am seeking aid from a nationwide pet agency that gives money to organizations and private citizens in emergency situations. Hopefully they will give me a grant to help with the cost of the medicine. I really want to adopt her and they said they would hold her for me. She was on the list to be put to sleep because they have had her since January of this year. The SPCA found her after the storm along with thousands of other animals. Why she was left behind, I don't know. But I want to keep her. My mom said she and my dad would help with the cost so I am happy. I am so anxious to adopt her. Keep your fingers crossed.
