On some divine or insane impulse (you decide) we flew to Florida from Colorado to adopt a black mouth cur dog we saw at the humane society in Inverness. Got settled in Orlando around 2am the morning of 9/12/14, got a few hours sleep before heading to PetSmart and Whole Foods to stock up for an adventure of adopting a dog followed by a 3 day cross-country trek back to Colorado. Much to our dismay the dog turned out to be aggressive and not a good fit for our other dog. This was all about finding a sweet dog to cheer up our other dog because we had just lost our other dog! Following? So, getting anything less than a sweet and submissive dog was out of the question. Once we got over the heartbreak and shock and forgave ourselves for being such romantic idiots we realized we would be driving through the heart of black mouth cur dog country and started shopping the rescue sites. We found our girl in Many, Louisiana at the Sabine Humane Society. An amazing facility that is very clean, filled with gorgeous rescue animals and run by a top notch group of incredibly kind and wonderful humans! They were closed on Saturday, but we somehow got a hold of the right people who got the cogs and gears moving and arranged to have someone there to meet us on Saturday so we could meet Nia (her shelter name). It was love at first sight and we feel deeply blessed to have had this little girl come into our lives. Magic is real and miracles do happen. Thank you Chris (Black Mouth Cur rescue coordinator), Ellen (Sabine Humane Society rescue manager), Jack (Sabine Humane Society kind soul who opened the gates for us and led us to Kirra Nia Ellen Crawdad) and to the folks at the Family Farm & Garden Center in Many, Louisiana who made a great name tag (free for all adoptions) and made us feel very welcome! Life is good!
