Greetings, my friends. My dear pawl TJ has asked me to introduce you to the beautiful Shay, who has the loveliest green eyes I’ve ever seen on a pup in all my 84 dog years. Speaking of green, other dogs could be very envious of Shay, but the pooch is so very sweet that we can’t help but fall in love with her.
Shay is i Love Dogs’ 18th adoptable pooch in their campaign to find homes for 31 dogs during Adopt-A-Dog month. Here is the lovely young lady to tell you her story in her own words.
SHAY
Hi there, people and pooches! I’m Shay. I’m a 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier who lives in a foster home with my dog mom Krista, who’s a Karma Rescue volunteer, and my foster pup sis Skylar. (Remember her? She was the very first adoptable dog of the month!).
Not to sound all stuck up or anything, but everybody’s always telling me how pretty I am. My foster dog mom’s boyfriend says he’s totally “gaga” over me. I have to bark back, “Thanks, but my head is already big enough!” BOL!
Looks aren’t everything, you know. There are a lot more important things to have in this world, like tennis balls to chase, a sweet foster mom to cuddle with, and a cool foster sister to play with!
Of course, the most important thing anyone can have is a furever home. So, if you’re thinking about adopting me – awesome!! – I have a few questions to ask you.
Do you have a lot of tennis balls? Cool! We’ll have a blast playing fetch.
Do you have a lap? Fantastic! I’ll curl up in it and snuggle against you. This’ll be really great on a chilly winter night.
Do you have any kids or friendly pooches? They’ll have a ton of fun playing with me!
Do you like to go for walks? Super! Wait here while I go get my leash!
Are you a good leader who I can look up to? Excellent! I’m a real good listener and hate to get scolded, so I’ll be a very good follower.
It looks like we’re a perfect match! You better contact Karma Rescue right away, because – not to sound conceited, of course – I’m very popular, so you should come adopt me before someone else does! And if you tell them you found out about me on the TJ.LA or i Love Dogs website, you’ll get a free puppy starter kit. How cool is that??
Sophie was almost 84 dog years old when she passed to the Rainbow Bridge last November. She was adopted by i Love Dogs writer Laura Goldman in 1998 from a Hawthorne, Calif. shelter. She loved long naps, looking out the front windows and, most of all, her best buddy Leroy. Check out her other articles!
