I adopted ‘Shyann’ in 2008 (WA) below is a copy of her information from the post on your website.
Shyann: Hi! I am Shyann, a beautiful four year old. My owner got sick, and could not care for me anymore. The one thing I need a lot of right now is attention. I love kids, but will need some patience if you have another dog, see I expect that you will give me all the attention! I am a good girl, potty trained, and do well on a leash, although the dog park is a bit too crazy for me. I prefer calmer situations with not so much dog action! 9/2/2008
In September of 2008, I had lost my female Giant Alaskan Malamute (around 10 years old) to cancer a year an a half earlier and our male Leonberger was in dire need of companionship. He had just a few weeks earlier taken out a section of our fence to see a neighbor’s female puppy. I was still feeling the loss of my big girl and wasn’t entirely sure I was ready for another girl, but our big guy was so sad so I searched and found Shyann a 4 year old female Saint. When I brought Shyann home it was clear that our big guy adored her and the first thing I did was call her Annie because she was any thing but shy with us.
Annie was underweight when I brought her home. I’m not sure what had happened in her other life, but she seemed disinterested in food at first. It was great that we had our big guy because she liked him and they were inseparable companions. I think Annie accepted me easier because our big guy trusted me so she started to trust me. Well, Annie thrived and our big guy seemed to be very happy. Unfortunately, we lost our big guy about a year after we brought Annie home. He was about 10 years old. I am so glad that I had Annie and I am thankful every day for my sweet girl. Annie just turned 11 in November and she is healthy and happy…and doesn’t look or act her age. I am so grateful to your organization and of course our big guy for Annie. She is in her forever home!
