Sierra's Scoop


Today I want to share my adoption story. I feel like the luckiest dog in the world. I love my Mommy and Daddy and my brother Teddy Bear. My life wasn't always so great though. I don't really remember my birth Mommy very well. I was taken from her when I was only a month old and she couldn't stop it from happening. Then I remember being at a park and waiting and waiting. I didn't know what else to do. It got dark and I didn't have my Mommy. I was so scared. Those were the worst nights of my life. Then I was taken to the Sacramento S.P.C.A. where I was named Fargo. After being there for a few days I was labeled un-adoptable, aggressive, and overly protective of my food bowl. I got sick with a bad cough that made me sound like a boy. One day a nice man from Creatures of Heart Sanctuary named Kurt came and said he would find me a home. First he took me to the vet and gave me medicine then he said I needed a new name. He called me Sierra because I was as white as the snow in the Sierra's. So the story goes...Mommy was looking on Pet Finder and saw my picture. She called Kurt and said she wanted to meet me. So Daddy, Mommy, and Teddy Bear drove all the way to the Sacramento Petsmart to see me. I was put on a leash so Mommy and Daddy could walk me around to see what I was like. I said goodbye to my friend Kurt and left with my new family as the happiest girl ever.....the rest is history in the making. Here is a photo from my first day home....

  3. hey Sierra,

    What a great adoption story! It makes my tail wag with joy that you found such wonderful humans to care for you until your forever family got you. Teddy Bear is sure lucky to end up with a sister like you and it seems from the photo that right from the start the love was in the air! I was found via Pet Finder too! Thanks for sharing your perfect tail!

  9. Oh Sierra, that is a GREAT story! We are all so,so glad that your mommy, daddy and brother cared enough to bring you in to their family. How incredible are they?? Your story is a little like my brother Digby's. He, too, was in some bad places before he came to our forever home. I bet mommy and daddy and even Teddy Bear feel like they are the lucky ones to have you in their lives.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love,
