My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Here I go again. I hear the trumpets blow again. All aglow again, taking a chance on love." That's my song for the new year. My foster mom calls me Shelby, adding that I'm seven pounds of precious on four paws. And these paws are going to take me to places I only dream about.
I dream about a family who shares love and affection, whose arms welcome me with warm embraces, and whose voices lift my spirit in the darkness. My heart yearns for someone to love, someone to hear those old love songs and dance with in the moonlight.
Therefore, as my story began with a song, so shall it end, with a refrain from The Bard's "The Lark, the herald of the morn": "Bark, bark! the lark at heaven's gate sings, and rising, shakes her dewy wings."
This allusion sets the stage for the morning ritual of telling my beloved family that the dappled dawn doth rise: A new dawn of a new year with dreams come true. So, mark the box on the app at Ahimsa and begin again with Shelby, your dream girl.
Approximate birth date: January 2011
