A note of happiness
Storie’s story had a happily ever after, but there are so many dogs out there who will never be able to find permanent homes. Animal shelters generally require a lot of help taking care of the animals. You can do more by exploring your other choices if you can’t foster a dog for some reason.
Taking in a new dog is always a good idea. Alternatively, you can spread the word about the shelter or rescue home or donate money. These things may seem insignificant, but they will go a long way toward helping the workers in shelters.
