Bargain Basement Family

Dave had a husky named Queenie who we had taken to be put down at the shelter, She was his best friend. But she was very old, a friend from his childhood, who needed a rest.

Last year we adopted Miss Quinn from the AC animal shelter a few moths after Queen passed. She was a two year old shepherd mix who
was sitting in the corner of her cage with bones protruding from malnourishment. She wasn't being underfed there, she just needed love. I took one look into those big brown eyes and fell in love.

We lived in a small apartment at the time and she was the perfect fit.

I Knew I wanted a companion for Quinn, but I needed to find someone special for Dave too. After we bought the house and had the fenced in yard I knew the time was right.

Axl Rose, our boxer, is a shelter "Stray." He is a new addition to the family who we adopted from the Atlantic City shelter after we bought the house. He is still learning, and he's not very quick. But he had a massive head full of love and harmless teeth and love.

Adopt a shelter pet, save a life. The donation is about $150 and includes a donation, spay/neuter fee and a lot of shelters chip your baby so if they get lost you can find them.
