Galaxie Found

I was driving to the grocery store about 5:30 p.m. last night when I saw this dog on the main road running loose. I was worried it was going to be hit by a car. I stopped and asked the people that were in the neighborhood nearby if they knew the dog, but no one did. She had a green collar on, but no tag. So I decided to bring her home and would call the shelter in the morning to tell them I had found her. It was a rough night as Dominoe didn't take well to her being in the house so they would get in barking fights about once an hour all night long. If I left either of them outside, then he or she would whine and keep me AND the neighbors up. I went to church this morning and then came home to start the process of finding her owners. I created a flyer that I was going to post, but before I did that, I tried to call the animal shelter. There was only an automated line that said that they didn't take found dogs on weekends, only adoptions were open on weekends. I was going to take her to a vet to have her scanned for a tag, but I didn't want to do an emergency place on the weekend and it cost us a ton of money. I took a chance and looked on pets911.com because I had posted a found dog ad on there. I searched the lost dog ads and low and behold, there was a picture of Galaxie. (Sarah had already named her angel). I'm not sure why they hadn't noticed my ad on the same website though. Galaxie/Angel was really sweet. I should have insisted they take Dominoe instead!

I called the number and her owner was so happy. I had actually caught them at the shelter looking for her. They had two daughters alittle older than my kids who were so happy. They stopped on the way to our house and bought these flowers and a sweet card with a dog on it. They said the dog had gotten out of the yard about 5 minutes before they got home, I guess according to the neighbors. They looked until it was dark last night and they posted flyers and went to the shelter twice today already.

All is well that ends well!
