Living in a Supportive Neighborhood Matters

I got a puppy who I haven't decided how to name yet. Because I am living in an apartment where there is no space for an outside pet. I decided to ask my brother to allow me a space on his backyard for my little dog while I make the move to a house in couple of weeks. I gained permission, so, I make sure that the fence was good enough and that there is no space for the little puppy to escape.

However, on Thursday at work during my lunch hour I received a call from my niece informing me that the dog had escaped. My day was ruin since from that point. I couldn't go home early that day because my company had to attend a business event all the way until 7pm.

On my way home I drove by my brother's house to look around. Late at evening I return and talk with neighbors...no information, then my niece shared with me that someone knocked the door who was  wearing one of those safety orange jackets, from this point my sister--in-law got into the conversation and she said that it might be people from the City of Madera who were doing landscaping in the area. This was good information from this point I thought of the Madera Animal Shelter.  I urgently called, but it was close by then.

Well, I waited until Friday after lunch to visit the shelter. Right when I got in the building I had the feeling that they have the little puppy. I was ask to describe the dog. The the first words was MALE, BROWN, PUG....the lady smiled at me. "We have your dong" she said.

I learned that someone in the neighborhood drove to the Madera Shelter to drop my little yet to be name dog. Right when I found about this generous action by a community member I feel happy and honor to reside where I live. Someone has to be an open heart person to do such action. I know I would. One time I found a wallet and mailed it to the person...I received a thank-you card,  couple of days later I lost my wallet and by the fifth day I got it in my po box. I am very thankful with the person who took the dog to the animal shelter.

Living in such a supportive community does make life easier and simple.
