A week after the tornadoes roared through Garland and Rowlett, we took some needed supplies to the Red Cross donation center.  While there, we saw a couple of boys with a small dog that had been wandering the area.

We wanted to reunite the dog with the owner; so, we took her over to the Garland Animal Shelter and had them check for a micro-chip.  So, we left our info, along with a photo of the dog, with the animal shelter, and hoped the owner would see it and contact us. In the interim, we named her Chloe.

We created flyers with Chloe’s photo and posted them on several Lost/Found sites, contacted vets in the area.  Several people inquired about her but the owner didn’t turn up.  To complicate matters, the dog had a lot of fleas and was in heat.

So, after several weeks with no luck finding the owner, we had her spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinated.  Then, even though we really liked her and would have loved to be able to keep her, we decided that Chloe was too high-energy for a couple of old codgers and re-homed her to a rescue organization.

She’s adjusting well to her new foster home, learning new manners and is awaiting her forever home.
