We just wanted to donate to show our thanks for our sweet Hazel
(formerly Laurel) and appreciation for all that you do. You might notice
it's a bit of an odd number--we had a lemonade stand a little while ago
and gave 25% of the profits to Ruffus Rescue, a whopping $5.75!
We
were informally/halfheartedly in search of a new dog when we came
across Hazel's picture last summer--we had lost a beloved dog suddenly
in the spring, and we were starting to think that our remaining (almost
10-year-old) dog could use a companion. Problem was, Henry isn't the
most social guy, so we knew the new dog would have to be pretty special.
Smaller, probably female, friendly and nonthreatening, energetic but
not annoying. And younger but definitely not a puppy! We just got a good
feeling from Hazel's picture and decided to go meet her. The good
feeling continued in person, so we snapped her up. And she has been
absolutely perfect in every aspect: she's the sweetest, friendliest,
snuggliest, most good-natured dog. She adores our daughters (and vice
versa), and she's even won over her grumpy old dog brother--as much as
he can be won over. She's got a bum elbow that might not be fixable, but
it doesn't seem to be slowing her down a bit. Thank you so much for
saving Hazel and leading her to us! She is the best.
