How we found Raven

I'd been looking on Petfinder for a few months at adoptable dogs. We lost our sweet Samantha in 2006, and our house just seemed empty without a dog in it. A rescue nearby had a litter of three Aussie mix puppies, and the one named Rubie (her named was spelled differently at that time) jumped out at me. When I saw her photo, I knew that she was the puppy for us.

I filled out the requisite application, and we scheduled a visit to meet her in the home of the rescue group. What was expected to be a 40 minute visit turned into a three hour marathon event. Ruby's two sisters were also adorable, but I immediately knew that she had to come home with us. We were approved as adopters, and made plans to bring her home that weekend.
