Ciara's Story

 

 On February 13th, LVLR saved Ciara from a confirmed euthanasia date. A volunteer living in the area drove to another town in Illinois to pull her from this high kill shelter. She welcomed her into her home for ten days and got her healthy and ready for her flight out to Las Vegas. We picked up Ciara from the airport on February 23rd and only had her for 4 days before placing her with her forever family. The following story was written by Becky and Lenny, of their experience with Ciara.

My husband and I got Zoe, our first dog together in June 2004.  By the time Zoe was 8 months old we knew we needed another dog – as a companion for her but also for us.  Since I was a member of the Lab Board, I kept a watchful eye out for the perfect rescue.  Soon enough, along came Ciara – she was soooo cute and everything we were looking for – a female, the right age (we didn’t want a small puppy), UTD on shots, was getting spayed, and was right here in town!  I PM’d Lisa and we set up a meeting.  We met with Lisa, Brenda, and Ciara on February 27, and Ciara stole our hearts and came home with us that day.

A month later, we seriously have to say that we have absolutely NO regrets in bringing Ciara into our lives. We are overjoyed with her. She is so loving and an absolute doll. Zoe is beyond happy at having a sister and they love to wrestle and play together. There is nothing girly-girl about either of them. They are definitely “The Rough and Tumble Twosome.” Most importantly, Ciara is healthy, happy, and alive!
