Yes, he was abandoned. He was picked up- cold and hungry- by animal control on a rural Georgia road. The Atlanta Small Dog Rescue took him in and kept him until my daughter saw him and decided to adopt. I admit, I was apprehensive at first about her adopting a grown dog that had had trauma in his life. She has done a good job, however, dealing patiently with some big problems. He is such a sweet, scrappy little soul, and he has made himself a welcome part of our family. Happy ending here. This is theme #5 Abandoned.

Doesn't look abandoned anymore. I always look at older pets as Puppies and Kittens sell themselves, but some of us old fellas need love too

I love happy endings! And this kid looks very happy to have you.

It's a photo with a lot of heart--yours, your daughter's and his. I'm glad I got to see it.

'Jack' certainly looks happy now!
There is something special about adopting an older animal & making their final years happy.

What a great interpretation of this theme. My dogs have all been shelter pets, too. Even with "baggage" they make the best dogs, don't you think?
