Peggy Sue’s elderly owner passed away. The son’s family tried to take responsibility but found that their 13-year-old was allergic, so they could not keep this pretty 5-year-old Golden mix. During her time with one of our wonderful foster-only families, Peggy Sue had a large, golf ball size ugly growth removed from her lip. Fortunately, it was a benign follicular cyst. When Placement was trying to find a permanent home for Peggy Sue, they contacted no fewer than 11 families – some never responded; others had one reason or another for not accepting her: current financial difficulties, adopted another dog, wanted a male rather than a female, wrong color (white and sheds), not ever tested around babies, general looks did not appeal, has a strong prey-drive and is not good with small dogs or anything small that moves (cats, rabbits, bird etc.), for that matter. But, as always happens, persistence by our Placement Team resulted in the perfect home for this cute little girl with an adopter couple. The family said: "Peggy Sue is doing great! Sure has made herself at home here. Seems like she’s been here forever! We love her! Every day she seems to be more and more comfortable. What an amazing day it was when we got the call about Peggy Sue. It’s so wonderful to come home to a furry friend who has made herself so at home and brightened up our lives. She’s a sweet, loving, smart and beautiful girl. Thank you, AGR, for bringing Peggy Sue into our lives." Happy new life, Peggy Sue!
