13. We got a dog from a rescue group in '09.

Dec 2022

She's a poodle terrier mix of some kind. She was so skinny you could see her ribs. Half of her hair was gone and she was covered with flea bites. She was a stray found on the streets of Orange County, CA, about 600 miles away. She was in a kill shelter with a date and this rescue group drove down there and got her. We made a nice contribution to the organization and brought her home.

She was so sickly looking but they assured us a vet said she was going to be okay. I looked her in the eyes and told her I promise she will never be hungry again.

Fast forward to today, she's probably about 15 years old. She been the most wonderful dog and she's my girl and sleeps in bed with me. She's going blind, and is deaf. Oh, yeah, and she's a little over-weight.

Chloe looks beautiful and I'm sure she will have a wonderful life with you.
