Winston!

We would like to introduce you to our new family member Winston...



Hi my name is Winston. I am a five year old English Setter. I was rescued from a kill shelter in TN by Ms. Anna from Susanna's SafeHaven Rescue. Ms. Anna and her family have been taken care of me while I waited for my FURever home. My new family found me on Petfinder and emailed Ms. Anna about me. They said I was the ideal dog for them. They hoped Ms. Anna would be willing to let me be adopted out of state. She agreed and they started the application process. During this time I got sick, but Ms. Anna nursed me back to health. She took me to the vet, gave me my medicine and fed me so well. I got better and then started to prepare for my journey to FL. I said goodbye to my foster Mama in TN on Tuesday (4/20) evening and arrived in FL by transport, on Wednesday (4/21) evening. I met my FURever family for the first time in the parking lot of Cracker Barrel. Wow, what a journey!



We arrived to my new home late but I was able to check out the whole house. The boys beds looked comfy but they had a crate all set up for me. The three little ones bought me a stuffed toy to play with and they made me Welcome Home signs. My new Mama read them to me. I slept soundly in my crate and was awakened the next morning by two of the littles. They were just as anxious to get me out that I was to get out and check out my new home again.



I had a good day today. They ate breakfast and then two of the littles played the piano for me. I had to show them that I could play too, so I jumped up and played a little jig, which I then was quickly and politely asked to step down. I guess music is not my thing. Then they did there learning (Mama calls it school). We then went for a tour around the neighborhood. I had a fun time walking around with my new family. I will say even at 10am it was HOT! I need to remember to have them take me out earlier in the day. It has been nice to have everyone hugging and petting me. I have enjoyed getting to know my new family. I think I will keep them!



I am getting tired now. I am off to my crate. I hope to blog again soon. This was a lot of fun. I would like to say a special thank you and I miss you very much to my foster Mom, Ms. Anna. You are my life saver. I appreciate you taking care of me and loving me so. I think my new family is going to be great so you don't need to worry. -Winston
