I love this picture! Ozzie cuddling with his best friend Pixie. He is such a sweet and loving boy with those he trusts. You might wonder why I don't just adopt Ozzie myself- and believe me, I've thought about it... He's settled in so well here, and is, in many ways an easy dog to be around. The only, only reason I haven't yet adopted Ozzie is that I know we saved him within hours of euthanasia- with his only crime being that he had no home. A beautiful, healthy young boy, sentenced to die because he was unwanted. His life was saved because I had room in my home to foster him, and made a commitment. I think of that every time I look at him, but also think of all the others that died that day because they didn't get a foster commitment. If I do find the loving home for Ozzie that he deserves then I'll be able to save another one. If I didn't look at the big picture, I'd keep Ozzie for myself- but knowing what happens to over 20,000 dogs a day in this country makes me feel like that's not OK!
