Our adoption story

Hello SPCA Friends,

On September 21 we adopted a cute little Collie cross named Mooky (log 712975). Her 5 month birthday is fast approaching (Friday) and we thought an update of her story would be appropriate. It is hard to believe such a beautiful puppy had to come to the shelter but how lucky we were to find her.

On the evening of Sept 21 she arrived at our home a little laid back from the spay surgery. The next day she started getting a little more inquisitive and displaying that playful puppy we first met at the shelter. It didn’t take long for her to adjust to life in our house and her unique personality has touched our hearts and those who have met her along the way. She has had her share of incidents as a “puppy” including counter surfing, shoe relocation and a game of tag (when she has something that does not belong).

She has done well in her walks, enjoys car rides and loves to socialize with all kinds of people (and dogs of all ages) including a few sleepovers with family. She has a devilish streak in her but then again what puppy doesn’t, however one tilt of her head and she melts your heart. Mooky has quickly picked up sitting at corners during our walks, going into her crate at bedtime and sometimes sitting nicely to have her paws wiped. We are still working through the training stage to stop the nipping & jumping but she is a fast learner.

All in all, she has adjusted well to her new family and is a bundle of joy to have around. Our son is so happy to finally see his wish come true ..... a family dog to love.

Thank you so much to the SPCA for helping us find this joy and taking care of her until we were meant to be together.

We have attached a few pictures of Mooky in her happy place (her own special bed).

Sincerely,

Chris, Betty Lou & Mackenzie.
