We can see that Sister was placed in good hands from the mere first line of the following quote. If a pet parent is willing to give an adoption just a little extra effort we know they are in it for the long haul. Sister is a very lucky doggie!
“We drove six hours to pick her up, from Minnesota to Iowa, then six hours back, all in the same day,” Gina recalls. “My husband, Scott, gets major points for doing all the driving and for being 100 percent supportive from the moment I asked how he felt about us adopting her, sight unseen.”

When the couple finally laid eyes on Sister, they saw just how skinny she was, and the toll a lifetime of untreated allergies had taken on her skin. She was itchy and subdued on the drive, but seemed to blossom the moment she realized she was in her forever home.
While one might expect a former puppy mill dog to be shy and sad, Sister’s temperament was that of a dog who was simply loving every moment of attention.

“She had basically been living in a cage her whole life, breeding, and didn’t have the best care. Yet when she came into our home, she just embraced it,” Gina says.
Sister and big brother, Simon, get along famously and we are delighted to report, after a short potty break training session that Sister is as happy as she has ever been! She is loved and looked at as more than a breeder.
She is a part of a family that cherishes her because she is a great dog and she, along with the entire family, is now thriving!
