A Valentine's Day "Tail.... "

Donald sat quietly in his kennel at the Chatham County Shelter on a Friday afternoon. He wasn't sure why he was there or what was happening. His people had just dropped him off, saying that they could no longer afford to care for him. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but he really didn't know....

It would happen that on that Friday, the Paws4Ever staff was searching for dogs and cats to bring to the Sanctuary. Donald waited and looked expectantly while they brought one dog after another out to be checked out and temperament tested. Finally, it was Donald's turn. His expressive brown eyes showed that he was unsure of this process, and his tail was clenched tightly between his legs. But his gentleness was evident despite his nervousness. This dog was truly a sweetheart! The staff brought him to Paws4Ever that afternoon.

Slowly, Donald has responded to the loving care of the staff and volunteers and now comes to the door of his kennel eagerly to be petted by all who pass by. He takes his treats so sweetly with gentle lips and gives kisses to anyone who would bend their head to him. He has also made friends with the other dogs at Paws4Ever though he remains quiet and a bit shy.

Is there room in your heart this Valentine's Day for a sweet, loving boy like Donald? He and all the other dogs and cats at Paws4Ever are yearning for their forever homes.
