Happy Tail: A rescued Border Collie mends a broken heart

A Happy Tail from Patti Hill of Secane, PA:

My adopted Border Collie of 14 years died in April. To say I was forlorn is an understatement. I am 49 years old, live alone with no partner or children. The empty space was devastating. After researching many avenues, I found Jess, another border collie, on your Web site.

border collieShe had been transported by seven cars, getting here from West Virginia. After being approved for the adoption, I drove three and a half hours to meet this shy but stunning girl. After committing to adopting her we are now having the time of our lives. She is happy, happy girl, which makes two of us.

Now, once again my life feels full, and I look forward to the years ahead with a new sense of purpose and joy. Petfinder is easy to use and a highly effective tool in finding the right pet that's perfect for anyone looking. All my gratitude to Petfinder, the rescues, volunteers and all the people who touch the lives of these pets getting them to safe, happy homes.
Jess was adopted from NJ Puppy Rescue.

I liked the story and it was special for me as I had a Border Collie named Faith. She and I spent 15 of her 17 years together until she had to leave me a year ago, I still miss her but now I would like to get another friend. GOOD LUCK to you and yours

Great blog. I'm going to put you in my blogroll. Thanks for all you do!
