Swilley must have had a plan. His plan was to stay with his foster family. 
You see, Swilley was adopted a few weeks ago. We thought it was a perfect family for him; kids, a huge yard, someone always home. We were shocked when he was returned after a few days. 
Swilley and one of the children had some sort of incident and they didn't want him anymore.  Maybe it was too much at once, maybe it was the thunderstorms, we don't know. Luckily, Swilleys foster family, Sonya and Elijah jumped right in their car and went and got our sweet, older gentleman. 
Elijah had started working with Swilley, who had never lived indoors before he came to PLP, as soon as they started fostering him. Swilley now knows, sit, stay, heel, and "down"! It is amazing to watch! Just a boy and his dog! 
Yesterday Swilley became a permanent member of his foster family. He was HOME all along!!! 
Swilley was a stray, dumped, emaciated, flea ridden, sick hound when he came to us. Look at him now!! What an amazing transformation. This is why rescue matters. 
Congratulations Swilley, Sonya and Elijah and THANK YOU for all you have done for this once homeless, forgotten hound.  We love you Swilley! Have a wonderful life!!
