Hi there, it’s me, Alpha… well, I used to be Alpha. But now, I have a new name, a new life, and a new forever family who calls me Brinklee. When I first came to AGA, I didn’t really know how to be a dog. I was scared. I was sick. I didn’t feel safe or loved. I had parvo, no appetite, and I didn’t understand how to connect with the world around me. I bounced between fosters, trying to find my footing, but I was still so lost. Everyone at AGA kept saying I just needed the right family. The kind that could see past my fear and into my heart. Then came Meet & Greet day. I was overwhelmed. I didn’t wag my tail. I didn’t run up to greet anyone. But my amazing foster showed people who I really was, videos of me playing, being goofy, being me. That’s when she saw me. She walked right up, smiled at me, and I felt… something. Safe. Seen. Loved. I didn’t know it yet, but that was my person.
After that, everything started to change. She and her husband brought me home in a foster-to-adopt plan. I got my own soft bed, a new routine, and a brother named Brodee who showed me how to be brave. And they never pushed me. They just loved me. Every single day. Now, I’m officially adopted. I have a name that’s all mine, Brinklee. I have people who believe in me. I’m healing. I’m learning that the world isn’t so scary. And every night, I get tucked in like the good boy I am. To my AGA family, thank you for not giving up on me. To my new family, thank you for loving me back to life. I’m finally home. Love, Brinklee (formerly Alpha)
