Dear Humane Society of New York,
Back in
January, we were looking on your website and I saw (and kind of fell in love
with Lavinia), my Husband thought she looked nice, so we made an
appointment to come in. That first day, we met Bonnie, who was lovely,
helpful and talked to us at length about the dogs available. My husband
was keen on bulldogs, but knew I was half sold on Lavinia.
We met her
first, she was very underweight, skittish and full of life. She bounded
over, licked Eric's hand and it was game over. We did look at the other
dogs, but she was the one.
Like all
new parents, we took her home and were clueless, what we did know was to play
and make use of the park next door to us. We also started to take Lavinia
to various dog runs across the city to socialise her, and what we found was
that having that play time with other dogs, made her happy, calmer and just a
more joyful dog.
While
talking to other dog owners in our area, we realized that we had no access to
off leash, safe, play areas for our dogs. We talked and talked, but couldn't
get it out of our heads about the happiness Lavinia had shown each time we went
to dog runs/parks. So we formed our own little committee and from then
have started to campaign to our council.
At present
we have a facebook page: www.facebook.com/lincolnterracedogrun
a twitter account: http://twitter.com/Dogrunlt
and a blog: http://lincolnterracedogrun.tumblr.com/
I guess you
could say, that Lavinia has changed our lives completely. We have gone
from socialising in the city and never visiting the park, to hosting puppy
halloween parades and political petitions.
We have
been so blessed with Lavinia, we adore her so completely, she comes everywhere
with us, to work, on vacations etc. We are so thankful for you rescuing
her so that she could choose to come live with us.
Many thanks
C & E
