In November we noticed a young, black dog on a euthanasia list in the same shelter as our little Max came from. I spoke to the rescue contact who takes photos of the dogs at this North Carolina shelter and she said the dog was a very sweet, young girl, who knew basic commands and loved everyone. Her name was Reeses and she had been at the shelter over a month and her time was coming to an end. 
We put out a plea for a foster and someone stepped up, so we sprung this sweet, happy girl. Black dogs get overlooked more than lighter colored dogs sadly, and not one person had inquired about adopting her and she had no other rescue interest. 
 In no time at all she was friends with the other two dogs in the home and her foster family couldn't believe what an amazing dog she was. 
After her spay, her foster mom reached out to let us know she was interested in adopting sweet Reeses. 
We made it official in time for Christmas, so Reeses wish has come true. She has a HOME. She is one of the lucky dogs who made it out of a rural shelter and found a loving family of her own. 
Thank you, Lauri and family, for adding this sweet girl to your family. We have enjoyed your updates and pictures and are so happy for you all! 
Everyone., please  give a homeless dog a chance. There are so many awesome dogs in shelters and rescues across the country. 
Merry Christmas Reeses!! Have a wonderful Life!
