Welcome Mazulah!

For months my daughter talked about getting a dog. Then she spent weeks looking for a canine the right age, the right size, and with the right temperament, which is a tall order in Maine. States in the Northeast have strict laws about spaying and neutering animals so, while there are lots of cats available, it's hard to find a young "rescue" dog that will be happy in a small house and able to live with cats. Then last month she found the perfect pet online. She made the application and was accepted as an adoptive owner for an adorable puppy from Mississippi. Once the dog had all her shots and was cleared by a vet for transport, she traveled north with twenty other dogs who had owners waiting with open arms. On Sunday we all met Mazulah, who is just as cute and gentle as she can be. Leo approached cautiously and never got close enough for Mazulah to know he was in the same room ~

How could anyone resist this face?

Welcome to the family Mazulah! We are glad you're here.

Absolutely adorable! Makes me want to run to the shelter to get myself a dog, too!

I let her know that she's "made it" now, even in the family category! she's been so tired the last few days she's crashed and slept all night, just waking a few times to go outside.
