Igor found his furever home!

Last night, I took Igor to his new home.  He is going to live with a human mom & dad,  & 3 human siblings- a 5 year old girl & 3 & 1 year old boys.  Plus 2 feline friends!  Igor has a huge yard to play in & 5 pairs of hands to lavish him with the attention & love he deserves.  Igor was such a special boy in our home... we knew he needed a home with either a canine companion and/or children.  When it came down to the wire, Igor appeared to be most happy with children in his company.  He probably missed out on so much in his unknown past.  Igor was so intrigued to watch one of his new siblings swinging on a playset in the yard & watching another climb a climbing wall & slide down a huge slide.  Igor thoroughly enjoyed riding shotgun on the way to his new home! 
Buddy (our beagle) is somber today.  He is familiar with 'losing' friends when fosters are here for a short time, then go to their forever home.  Stella (our other foster) is still looking for her friend Igor at times.  It is much quieter & calm in our house with 3 dogs rather than 4, but it's still early on a Sunday morning, I won't hold my breath!  Now we can focus on finding the perfect home for Stella.  She so very much deserves it.

 Yesterday, Stella had a playdate with my 16 month old niece.  We had been told she was good with kids, but I had to see it for myself.  Stella is always excited to meet new people & go to new places.  So much so, her entire body wiggles & her tail is like a whip!  After the initial excitement wore off after about 15 minutes, Stella followed my niece around, played with her toys & snuck in a kiss anytime she got the chance.  Stella would love a family with kids & that is what we will try & find for her, too!
