Happy Endings. . .
 Dear
Saint Francis Animal Center of
Georgetown Staff,
About a month ago, my husband David and
I adopted a golden/Chesapeake Bay
Retriever named Andrew (Charley). He
responded to Charley so that is his
name. At the time Charley was afraid of
men and you were concerned that he
wasn't a good fit for our family. But my
husband David, just fell in love with
the dog, and our Chihuahua (Captain
Danger) and I liked him, so we were
allowed to adopt Charley. From the
moment he eagerly jumped into our car he
became part of our family!
Charley is very loved and VERY HAPPY. He
has bonded with me but is also very
affectionate with my husband. He is so
affectionate and he is very funny. If I
laugh at something he does, he gets even
sillier. And he is a big cuddle baby. He
loves to be hugged and leans and lays
all over us. He loves to have his belly
rubbed.
Charley has been the sweetest dog since
day one. He has not had a single
accident with his housetraining. He is
so gentle when eating with our Captain
Danger that he has actually picked up
food and dropped it at Captain's feet
trying to feed him! I've never seen a
dog do this. He is patient and always
waits "his turn" at everything. He is
very good with our cat and lays down
very submissive (but curious and
playful) whenever she is around. She is
not afraid of him at all and usually
goes outdoors with him to watch him run
around the yard. They touch noses all
the time.
Charley has gone from being terrified of
my husband to coming over to him for
kisses and instigating play. He sleeps
in our bed, rides in the car, goes to
the beach, plays fetch with tennis
balls, swims in the lake, and runs
around in our yard all day and half the
night. He has always stayed in the yard,
(we have 15 acres) but we installed an
electric underground dog fence to
enclose an acre of our yard just to make
sure he stays safe from cars. He is very
easy to train.
We could not be happier with Charley and
want to thank you for giving us and
Charley the CHANCE to become a family.
We are so thankful that you gave us a
chance to get to know Charley and give
Charley a chance at a happy life with a
family who loves him. You allowed us to
adopt him even though he was so scared
of my husband. We both love Charley so
much and he loves us right back and
Captain Danger is happiest of all I
think, to have a playmate to wrestle
with non-stop. We couldn't ask for a
better dog.
I know that Charley has been in and out
of your shelter his entire life. We
wanted you to know that he has found a
happy home for the rest of his life.
Thank you for taking such good care of
him.
Thank you.
Gloria Williams
