Introducing Sheeba

Sheeba

 

 

We'd like to introduce the newest member of our family, Sheeba. No she wasn't wondering in the middle of the street half dead, she doesn't have a weird disease that costs a few thousand dollars to fix, no heartworm, no parvo, just a healthy 6.5 year old dog. Sheeba came from Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue. She had been there for over five years. She was first adopted as a puppy and returned to FMAR because she was jumping fences and became protective of her food. She was adopted again a second time and quickly returned because she continued to protect her food. Over the years, the volunteers grew close to her and we knew that someone special would have to adopt her, someone that would keep in touch and continue to let us know how she was doing. I started volunteering with FMAR five years ago and immediately fell in love Sheeba. She was loving, calm, playful, a great walker and a wonderful dog that I couldn't believe hadn't been adopted. Bob and I talked about taking her in all the time, but never took action. In May after lots of deliberation we decided to introduce her to the gang. If she didn't get along with our two then there was no reason for us to continue talking about taking her in. So introductions happened, and it worked. Sheeba is a great fit. She's not protective of her food in the house, she hasn't tried to jump the fence, she's just been wonderful.
