Lavinia To The Rescue!

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

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
