My pet Levi was my best present ever. He was the happiest dog I have meet.

I wanted a puppy and I researched for months on the type of breed. I looked at many puppy stores and did my research on them. I realized that those stores aren't a nice place to animals at all. I spent almost a whole year looking for a puppy trying to find the one. I then lost hope after 8 months of looking into dogs and who was selling or not selling. Then I started looking into the animal shelter in my area. I looked at the shelter for many months and I was losing hope.

I was at school when my mom called me up and told me about this dog. I mean it wasn't a puppy like I was looking for but, he was older and cute and tiny. He was just what I wanted and needed. We took him home on a Wednesday and he was part of my life for the time he had left. I loved him the moment i saw him. It was true love at first sight. He was my rock and joy. He protected me from the mailman everyday.. he was all bark but not bite. He made me feel like it was okay to be myself. He stayed up with me when I was studying or crying. He loved walks but I was ended up carrying him home. He was an old dog who had a family before we got him. I am so happy I adopted him to be able to give him a wonderful life and the comfort we needed the two of us. we were two peas in a pod and i am grateful to have had 4 months of him in my life.

I would encourage people to adopt a pet at animal rescue places. They are animals wanting a new home and will love you with everything they got.
