It's A Christmas Miracle

Most people thought it was impossible.  Only a few kept the faith.  Some offered encouragement, and others prayed.  One special friend even asked Santa - for the second year in a row - for a Christmas miracle.  And on Christmas day that miracle happened.  I got a phone call from someone who wants to adopt Ziggy.

Ziggy prays for a home.

When I brought Ziggy home as a foster puppy two years ago, I didn't expect to have him for long.  But as the days turned into weeks, and then months, I began to fear he would never know what it was like to have a home of his own.  Ziggy is an amazing, wonderful dog and I love him very much.  But he's never been an easy dog.  He prefers to be an only pet, so it hasn't been easy for him living with so many other foster dogs.  He deserves a home of his own, and it seems that he may finally get his chance. 

Part of me is trying to not get my hopes up in case this doesn't work out.  Another part of me is trying not to be sad that I may soon lose this dog who is such a big part of my life.  But mostly I am just so excited for Ziggy.  He's waited so long for a home of his own, and this is a perfect fit for him.  The adopter met him today and is very excited about adopting him and continuing to train him.  Ziggy will be leaving me sometime in the next week and will go to his new home as a foster-to-adopt situation to see if he'll be a good fit.  I'll continue to share updates as I receive them.  Sometimes long-term fosters get adopted and returned more than once if they have issues, but Ziggy has never even been adopted once.  I hope and pray that he has finally found his forever home.
