On the catwalk with Miss A!

I feel so pretty in my new sweater! Look out America's Next Top Model - I'm ready for you! I won't even need tips from Miss J. Alexander, because I've got that fierce runway walk and attitude down! Hee-hee! Seriously, the only thing fierce about me was the way my tail was wagging while I strutted around in my beautiful new sweater. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I was SOOOOOO happy to get a present. Thanks Jenn! You really know how to make an old girl smile. And how did you know that green was my favorite color?? Jenn is one of our "far away" friends who goes out of her way to do nice things for all the rescues here at the kennel. Even though she lives in Massachussetts, she knows all about southern hospitality and how to be Texas-Friendly! We love you Jenn and we really appreciate your thoughtful gesture!!

I still know how to have fun!

Just because I've been around a little bit longer than some of the other rescues, does NOT mean that I'm old and boring! I still know how to have fun. It's just that now, my idea of fun does not include chewing up your favorite pair of shoes or eating the throw pillows on the couch! Sure, I may have a few grey hairs, but they come with maturity and good manners. You can trust me to behave when you're at work or out with friends. I hate to say it, but you just can't trust a puppy!!

I'll make a great companion for you and you can feel good knowing that I will always be excited to see you when you get home. I know you can tell from my picture that I can be lot of fun. I'm also a lot more patient and cooperative than a puppy or a younger dog. If you adopt me, we can snuggle, watch movies, and take walks together . . . and maybe, every now and then, you can dress me up! I personally think that I would look adorable in a little party dress. Imagine all the fun and all the good times we could have together if you'll just give me a chance!!

Audrey's Story

I don't know how I ended up at the shelter. I didn't do anything wrong. I know I certainly didn't do anything to deserve that, because I've always been a very good girl. Why would someone leave ME in a place like that? I don't think people realize that a shelter is a scary place for a dog - especially an older, blind dog. All the unfamiliar sounds and smells were overwhelming. I was so scared because I had no idea where I was or what was happening to me, and I just felt so alone in my darkness.

Lucky for me, the nice people from BTRGH stepped in and saved me. They saw past my age and my blindness, and do you know what else? They didn't even mind that I'm only part Boston Terrier!! They saw something special in me that no one else could see. They saw a kind and loving soul who didn't deserve this cruel fate. They saw how big my heart is and how much love I have to give and they knew that they couldn't leave me behind.

A New Life for Audrey!

It's truly a wonderful gift to get a second chance at life when you think it's all coming to an end. Since I've been in rescue I've had time to reflect on my life and on all the blessings I've received. It's made me realize that I want to share my love and good fortune. I feel pretty good now. I have drops for my eyes and my heartworms are gone. My friends at BTRGH have taken really good care of me and have restored my faith in the goodness of people. I hope they know what a difference they've made in my life. I hope they know how much I love and appreciate them. Let's face it, there are not a lot of people who would give me a second look, let alone a second chance. I feel like they've given me the whole world and I'd like the opportunity to give something back.

I realize now that what I want more than anything else is to make a difference in someone's life, just like my friends at BTRGH did for me. A person, a whole family - I'm not particular! I just have all this love inside of me now and I want to share it with someone - my very own person who I can love and who will love me back. What about you? Can you see past my age and blindness and appreciate me for who I am on the inside - a sweet, adorable, little girl who just wants to be loved? Can you find room in your heart for a beautiful, older dog who will be happy and completely fulfilled just to be near you and to love you unconditionally? I promise I'll make a difference in your life if you give me a chance and make me part of your life!
