Amanda & Harietta

My fiance and I adopted Harrietta (now renamed Foxy- see the picture for the  reason) from AHS in August 2010. When we met her, she tried to be invisible-  she stayed low to the ground and was hesitant to even look at us. But we  brought our dog Delilah in to meet her the next day, and she came to life-  they played for almost an hour. All of the employees and volunteers at AHS  couldn't understand why she hadn't been adopted yet, which we took as a sign  that we had to get her! We brought her home with us, and at first she was  terrified to be in a new place. But after slow and steady reassurance, she  has turned into an incredibly loving, energetic, and outgoing dog. Our family  would not be complete without her! We have made a commitment to only adopt  dogs from shelters in the future :)
