A Tribute
to Paris
Paris was rescued from a neglectful situation in August of 2007. Essentially
that is when her good life began. She was a young golden who left
us too soon. As her foster mom I was able to see this little dog
blossom into a wonderful, loving animal. She had a lot to learn
about being an inside dog as well as a dog who was going to be
loved and cared for. She was definitely up to the challenge and
she showed her gratitude in so many ways. Just when I thought she
would be with me forever we got an early Christmas present when
in December of 2007 she found what would be her forever home. Tim,
Dawn, Christine and adopted Golden Mickey saw what I saw in this
little dog and gave her the best life she had probably ever had.
Paris died suddenly in July of 2008 probably as a result of heartworm
disease. When I got the call from Tim I was shocked beyond belief.
We are all overwhelmed with saddness at her passing. I know I will
never forget her and I will be eternally grateful that her adoptive
family gave her so much love and care for the much too brief time
that they had her. She will be forever missed.
I just got off the phone and learned that
the family who has had Paris
for a trial run has decided to adopt her. She will be living with a
family in New Orleans who also have Mickey, a golden they adopted from
Old Gold. It has been touch and go during the adjustment period but
things are now going smoothly. I could not be happier for this most
deserving little girl. Way to go Paris!
This is Paris. She is a small, dark gold
female between 2 and 4 years old. Paris has had a miserable life to
this point. To say she has not been well cared for is an understatement.
She was basically kept as a lawn decoration by her previous owner,
living her life chained up in the back yard. She was rescued from her
home in Florida and brought into our program.
Paris is being treated for a skin infection
which has produced lesions on both ears with hair loss. She is HW positive
(but has been started on treatment), UTD on her shots and has been
spayed. Paris is just learning what it is to be a pet. Being inside,
getting fed regularly and being brushed have done wonders for her.
She is learning to enjoy the attention and affection. She is housebroken.
She is slowly learning to walk on the leash. Paris would probably do
best in a home where she is the only dog. She is in desperate need
of a loving, patient home. Her true golden qualities are just starting
to emerge. Are you that special forever home?
