We were fortunate enough to be able to adopt Brea, nicknamed "Goodiest Girl" by my husband, from the Grayslake IL shelter almost 6 years ago. She is the sweetest and best behaved girl there is. She is a Chow-Terrier mix, and gets pretty fluffy if not groomed. She was an only child for about 2 1/2 years until we got our Heidi, a Mini Dachshund. She has mentored Heidi well, and both girls are our "babies". They stay in the yard without being tied up, and love to go for their walk twice a day. Brea is a great frisbee catcher, and dispite her age, ( about 8 or 9 years old), still runs fast enough to catch it about 90 % of the time.

We are truely thankful that we have her in our lives!
