Angel Found Her Heaven




Meet Angel. Angel is one of two dogs that has been in foster care in our home. When she came to us she had an ugly and cruel injury probably caused by wire that was used as a collar from the time she was a puppy. As she grew this wire collar cut into her neck until I guess she broke free. I will never know what really happened to her. During her recovery we were assisted by Spindletop Pitbull Refuge to whom I will be eternally grateful. Angel's personality is that of a super happy, always ready to play or love, incredibly affectionate and incredibly stable. The only sign of abuse we noted was her tendancy to shy away at sudden movements over her head. I have no doubt that she had been hit, possibly beaten. With every right to hate people she has shown only love and sweetness. Well, I have great news! After reviewing countless applications, going on a number of home visits we finally found a home with an amazing man. He is a very visible member of the Austin community who has been the publisher/CEO of a progressive activist newspaper. Everyone we interviewed spoke of his impeccable character and integrity. When she met him it was as if she had been there her whole life. While we expect some normal transition behavior it was on the whole a natural almost seamless fit. Angel has truly found her heaven.
