About Us
Faith, the Dog of the Day
Name: Faith
Age: Eighteen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Iowa, USA
 
   We found Faith six months ago (actually she found us!) when she ran out in front of our car. When I tried to check her collar for tags, she jumped into the van and claimed our thirteen-year-old daughter as "hers"! So home we went. After a forty minute bath that first night, we realized she wasn't brown, but a pale yellow. And I spent more than a few minutes trying to scrub off spots that are permanent. She's such a sweet thing and I was sure that we'd have her back to her "people" in no time... only her "people" apparently weren't looking for her since there were no answers to any of the notices I left around town. After some consideration, we decided to become her new pack! She's still a little under-weight but is happy and healthy. She shares the house with our other dogs Yuri (a Siberian Husky) and Ozzie (um, he's a BBD: Big, Brown Dog), a couple of kitties (who are not very happy with the power swing) and a bunny (who thinks the "wolves" are fine as long as rabbit isn't another name for entree.) Faith protects us from the nasty back yard squirrel and those evil socks hiding in the laundry basket readying for an ambush. Faith keeps every dog food bowl in the house spotless. Faith snuggles teenaged tears away. Every dog deserves to be this happy.
