We knew we wanted another dog. Our Jojo had been raised with another dog before we got him and he was obviously missing the canine companionship. We watched petfinder, until I saw a dog that just called to me. A cute little girl, about a year old and picked up as a stray. She was white with one black ear and the sweetest expression ever. The shelter was about an hour away and at the time I was doing lots of mandatory overtime. I called to see if she was still there. She was, but they told me they could not hold her until the weekend when I was able to go.

Saturday came and we headed for the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter. I called on the way to make sure they still had her. They did, but told me again that they could not hold her. I cried and begged them to at least stall until I could get there. I was sure that everyone would see what I saw in the beautiful face.

We had a meet and greet with Sissy and our Jojo. He was in love and could not get enough of her. She was playful, but more reserved than he was. I was completely hooked.

The was almost 6 years ago and Sissy has been a surrogate mom to countless foster pups and many dogs that were not dog friendly until they met her. She has a talent for drawing them out at their own pace. She is gentle, sweet and loving. I am not sure why no one else adopted her sooner, but I like to think that she was meant to be a part of our family. She and Jojo are still best friends and I could not have picked a better dog.
