I had lost my 18 year old Pekingese the end of June. I wasn't sure if or when I might get another dog. My son kept insisting I should consider getting one, and in mid-August I did look at a few rescue sites just to start considering adopting an older dog somewhere down the road. Low and behold, a rescue close to me sent me a picture of the sweetest little dog. The rescue owner said the little dog was so scared and timid, so I decided to go and visit her the next day. Her story was she had been in a high kill shelter in another state and then in a foster in that state and then brought to the state I live in. I got to the rescue and she immediately warmed up to me and was no longer as scared. The rescue owner said even if I didn't adopt her she was glad I had gone since I brought her out of her shell. It was clear by her actions someone had abused her. I decided right then and there I was going to adopt her and I am soo happy I did. She is the sweetest lovable dog imaginable. She is 18 months old.
