We recently lost our two older golden retrievers to cancer and longed to adopt a needy dog. We found "Emmie" on Petfinder and she was one of a litter found in a landfill in West Virginia. The WV shelter shipped the litter to Francisvale Home for Smaller Animals in Radnor, PA which is where we adopted her from. She was 4 months old - and has been a true blessing since we brought her home in April, 2008. We have a 10 year old lab (Jason) and a 5 year old cocker (Penny Lane) and the three are inseparable. She was afraid to walk away from her food and water bowls when we first brought her home....but slowly learned there was plenty available for her and that she didn't have to eat/drink as fast as she could because there wouldn't be enough. She loves playing with all the toys we have and has quickly learned she loves boating with us and with Penny and Jason. What a joy to have her as part of our family and it is wonderful knowing we opted for adoption. We're thrilled to have been selected to be the ones to provide her a happy, healthy, fun and very loving home.
