Hello!  We all have a story and this is mine.  Don't worry, it's got a great ending!

I belonged to a family who didn't have enough time for a young terrier like me.  I'm just a kid still!  I was taken to the Crossroads Animal Shelter in Buffalo, where I was immediately placed in foster care with three other dogs who look just like me and another one who is all black!  Wow.  That was kind of fun and Aunt Stephanie and Uncle John were really, really wonderful to me and made me feel right at home.  But, we all knew that I need a real home so we searched through something called applications and decided to call a nice lady who recently lost her wonderful companion, Ebony.

She wanted me so bad!  She drove out and got me right away on 3/4/04 and you know what?  It was her birthday!  My Gotchya Day and her birthday, all in one. 

We have been getting to know each other but we're getting there!  I am learning house rules and I'm going to go to something called training class.  I bet I will be extra smart then!

Thank you, Naomi, for making my dreams come true!  I think we look really good together, don't you?  I love it here.  I have all kinds of toys and Mom says I get to go on an airplane!  I have my little bag all ready.

Love, Shannon
