"In my search I came across an American Bulldog/Pit mix boy named Zeus. His family was an older couple that wanted to retire later that year and travel abroad doing missionary work. They would not be able to take Zeus with them, so they were looking for just the right family to take their baby. Well, quite a large baby at almost 90lbs!"
Dawn and her husband, Bill met Zeus and really liked him, but were not sure that he would be a good fit with their family. In the meantime, they met another pittie, a female, that had been in a shelter for three years. It was a hard decision, but they chose the girl. They stayed in touch with Zeus's family, though.
"I was on the phone with Melody (Zeus's dog Mom) one day and she casually mentioned that she needed to board Zeus for a few weeks while they went overseas briefly in preparation for their move. I ended up volunteering to “baby-sit” Zeus while they were away. Melody was thrilled with the idea!! So they drove Zeus down again with all his stuff for a 3 week stay. As it turned out, he was such a joy and really no trouble at all. He was the perfect house guest and fit in well with our...dogs!!" One Saturday, Bill turned to her and said, “He can stay!!”
And the rest, as they say, is history.
What Dawn loves most about living with dogs is their companionship, She and Bill are happy and content just being home with them. All of the Dawleys, humans and dogs, love exercising together. Zeus enjoys food and naps, Maggie Mae likes sunning herself and Eli likes play-dates and snuggling with Zeus.
The Dawley's nominated Good Lif3 Bully Rescue as their favorite pet charity.
(Dawn has us deliver special diets for Zeus, because he can only eat pork and that is how we met this wonderful family.)
