Meet Mary Katherine & Lisa Marie – Mary Katherine is a wonderful 7 year old female purebred golden. Her sister Lisa Marie is 5 and every bit as wonderful. These two have had quite a history together. In their first home they spent their time in a fenced in backyard because Mom had terrible allergies. And even though Mary Katherine lived with Lisa Marie and a cat, MK would do anything to get out. She would scale the fence, ram the fence or dig under the fence to be free. She just really wanted to be inside with her people but her family couldn’t allow this so we promised to find Mary Katherine a new home. However, once Mary Katherine left Lisa Marie was very, very sad. She had never spent a day without Mary Katherine. Her family saw this and knew that these two dogs needed to be together. So we looked for a new home for the girls. THEN a couple adopted them but after 2 1/2 weeks they decided they couldn’t work with Mary Katherine’s thunderphobia and storm anxiety. They were not willing to try the medication our vet recommended. They were not committed to helping her and although Lisa Marie was fine, we couldn’t let Mary Katherine leave without Lisa Marie. So the girls had to look for a new home again … one that would put their dogs first and do whatever it took to give these girls a happy home. It took some time but are dedication to them and our pickiness about their future family certainly paid off. They have just been adopted by one the sweetest couples we have ever met. They previously owned a wonderful golden girl named Ginger. Ginger came to them as a result of a surgery where she had swallowed a toy while living with her previous owner. They rehabbed her through surgery and spent many wonderful years with her. They saw her through a torn ACL, arthritis, a leg amputation and even chemotherapy when she had cancer. They ever built special ramps to make it easier for Ginger to get around with 3 legs. They were truly dedicated to this sweet dog. Sadly, Ginger passed away in June. However, we know that Ginger sent this wonderful family our way. Mary Katherine and Lisa Marie now have the perfect forever family – certainly one worth waiting for! Now Mary Katherine will spend her days inside with mom, dad and Lisa Marie. We imagine they’ll play lots of scrabble, watch lots of TV and doing crosswords together. In fact in their eyes anything they do is fine with them as long as they are doing it together with their people.
