My husband and I had a family of 5 furbabies (4 rescues & 1 gift). Between 2017 - 2020, we lost 3 of our babies. We moved in June 2021 with our 6 pound poodle, Charlotte, and our Bichon, Lacey, when we unexpectedly lost Lacey in July.
Tom, Charlotte and I were grieving the loss of our Lacey and wanted to honor her memory by rescuing another Bichon. I saw Betty on your website and knew immediately that Lacey had sent Betty to us. I submitted my application and then learned that Betty's sister Veronica was also available. We had to keep them together and we amended our application to adopt both girls.
They joined our family in December 2021 and we can't imagine life without them. They love people and loved to keep me company in my home office up to my recent retirement. They would sit in on Zoom meetings and they recently traveled to Northern Virgina with me to meet my co-workers. They were the hit of the picnic and have truly been a gift.

It took some time for her to trust hands and laps, but she is now a loving, happy little lady and a very important part of our family. Believe it or not, she has inspired us to persevere through tough times. It may seem crazy that this fluffy little chihuahua taught us about strength and grit, but we learned that if this little dog could hang in there until she got a chance to live her best life, surely we can make it through a tough day or two.
