Victoria’s Family
My mom & me, together forever!
Hi, it’s Victoria! I am the young pup that was taken in by the Safe Haven from a really nice lady that could not keep me any longer. I had no idea what I was in for when I got to my new foster home. I love toys and balls and there were so many to choose from to play with and I also had 5 dogs to play with too! Some of the dogs did not like my energy level but they learned to stay clear when I was playing because I can jump over them and make a perfect landing on the furniture. Cool, huh? I think I would do really well in an agility class! Anyway, I had a lot of fun in my foster home because there was so much to do and I was never bored.
One day, my foster dad took me to the vet so I could get a bath and they kept saying what a beautiful girl I was. They made me look very pretty and it’s a good thing too because the next day, my foster dad did a little photo shoot of me so I can be introduced to the world on the Safe Haven website. I did my best to be a good model and I think I did a good job because it didn’t take very long for my foster daddy to take my photos. Impressive for a young puppy like me, huh?
The photos of me must have turned out really good because a lady saw them online, filled out an adoption application and wanted to meet me real soon! My foster dad told her that I will be going to an adoption event with my foster brothers and sisters and she could meet me there. This lady was so excited to see me on that day, she came early and stayed for almost the whole day, just to hang out with me! I felt so special! While we were just hanging out, I started to bond with her, I had a feeling in my heart that she would be such a wonderful mom to me. A week later, my foster dad had a talk with me and told me that lady I met was going to be my new mom if the home visit went well and that I had to continue to be a good girl for her. I was so excited! The next day, my foster dad and mom took me along with them for the home visit. Everything went well and my new mom was so happy to welcome me into my forever home. I don’t know who was more excited, me or her! My new mom now takes me on lots of walks and I get lots of playtime too which is great because I have puppy energy! She also wants to make sure I grow up to be a well behaved girl so we are going to do training lessons together so she can learn how to guide me in the right direction and I can learn what is expected of me so I can make her the proudest German Shepherd mom ever!
