Sweet Dalmatian puppy needs a good home
No, I’m not talking about Friday, but the similarities are striking. Blue is only 19 weeks old, but he has had a rough start in life, as he has already had at least 4 homes. He needs a forever home with someone who understands the breed, and who has the patience and time to help him settle in. He suffers from separation anxiety, so he really needs a home where people are present most of the time while he is adjusting. Like most playful youngsters, he would benefit greatly from having another young, active dog in the home. If not for the 3 old dogs, I would probably have already brought Blue to our house, but I know my limits!

And they all lived happily ever after…
At least I hope so! After 6 weeks on Petfinder, we found a really wonderful family for Friday. The only problem was that they didn’t have another dog. They had recently lost their Dalmatian, and were looking for another. They would have given Friday a wonderful life, but we were very concerned that his anxiety over being alone would result in problems for them. As luck would have it, another young Dalmatian named Zorro was surrendered to the Chehalis shelter about the same time. I check for Dalmatians on Petfinder.com daily, and contact shelters that have Dalmatians to determine if they are at risk, so I don’t have another “Very sad day”. To make a long story short, we’ll skip to the numerous happy endings. Zorro has been adopted by the wonderful family that would have adopted Friday, and Friday is going to stay with us. He celebrated by helping my husband play video games.
Doesn’t he look helpful?
