I read (and usually cry when reading) stories about both of these organizations and the wonderful things that they do frequently.

Love your story about this amazing network of pet lovers and gets me thinking about a brother or sister for our little Bella - who also suffers from only child syndrome.

A man in my neighborhood drives dogs to Colorado once a month for adoption, they do not have the large number of strays that we have in Houston. Our Stella is from Houston Boxer Rescue and was also found on the streets of Houston. She has brought much joy to our family!

When we brought our younger rescue home (Conner), our older one (Ella) was not having his mess, but they love each other so much now, best friends. I'm sure Chowdah will warm up and love having a play mate and Chili seems pretty, well, ya know.. chill. I'm sure she will just go with the flow.
