My family adopted Hailey from the Brant SPCA in the summer of 1997.
We went up to the cage where she was being held and she was standing
at attention, ready to please! She must have went through extensive
behavior training before being abandoned at the shelter because she
knew so many tricks and was so very obedient.
She had been at the shelter for a while and the staff were getting
nervous that no one would adopt her on time. They were all sad to see
her leave the shelter but were happy to see her go with a young family
with two kids that would adore her.
She's the kind of dog that would give her life for any one of us
without a second thought. She's also the mischievous puppy who would
eat green beans and other veggies out of the garden (veggies are her
favourite!).
Hailey lived out her final days with us yesterday (Dec 1st, 2010), 13
years after we adopted her. She was surrounded by those who love her.
We can never thank the staff at the Brant SPCA enough for giving us
the gift of her love!
This is Hailey's story.
