We love it when the dogs write their own Success Stories! Here is what Humphrey wrote about his wonderful new life with his mutt family:
My name is Humphrey. That is the name Sherri gave me when she rescued me from an animal control shelter. I am 10, or 11 or 12 years old…we just are not sure because I was a stray dog.
I am totally motivated by food, since I haven’t always been fed on a regular basis. My wonderful Muttville foster mother, Lisa, gave me love and support when I was so frightened. My forever family, Betty and Herb, and I have created a terrific, loving life. I love to cuddle. We watch TV together, I am on the couch next to whomever is sitting there. We spend long afternoons in the garden and I sit on whichever lap has the right amount of sunshine. I was partly bald when I first came home, but my new vet figured out I had a thyroid problem. With the right medication my hair is now full and thick. It is a mix of black and brown, as I am an 11 pound mix of Schipperke, Boston Bull, Chihuahua and who knows what else? I still flinch whenever someone picks up a flyswatter or a broom, but I know my forever folks would never hit me.
I want to thank Sherri and Muttville for giving me a chance for a wonderful old age.
