Prison Dogs - Part II


So, Cal arrived yesterday morning and was all that we had hoped he would be. He had a peppy, but not obnoxious way about him and was pretty good about following commands, despite the craziness of coming all the way from North Carolina and being in a run for almost a month.

Cal arrived at the adoption clinic a few minutes before 10 a.m. and helped me to bring some things in. He walked perfectly on a leash. Within 10 minutes, Cal's parents arrived. I, of course, didn't immediately recognize them, but Cal did. They are a nice couple with two small children. The wife is a stay-at-home mom, who walks 4 miles per day and wants to try training Cal for agility work. They live in a beautiful house in Slingerlands with a big fenced in yard. When I brought him to the house, he somehow knew it was his and hopped right on the sofa and made himself at home.

Several people came in looking for Cal after we had already left. One woman was rather mean when he found out that he had been adopted. I hope this bodes well for the dogs that we will be getting in the future. It was great to see such a sweet dog get a perfect family.
