Here's what the humans have to say about me:
11 months Golden Wheaton Terrier mix NASA's iconic space shuttle program flew 133 successful missions in its 30-year history. Our pup, Shuttle, thought he was destined to launch many years worth of fun canine capers from the arms of his loving forever family. As fate would have it, however, this was not meant to be for young Shuttle. When his family decided to move out of state, Shuttle landed in the pound. Feeling alone and frightened, this pup of just 11 months yearned for them to return; but, as so often happens, he was now just a forgotten part of their past. Then along came a gentle and kind shelter volunteer who saw immediately that this pup deserved the destiny of which he once dreamed -- a life filled with fun and successful canine capers with a loving forever family. Shuttle, who is now safe with us, weighs 20 pounds and is neutered, micro-chipped, and current on all vaccines. We reassure him daily that fate is now on his side. His tentative tail wags and gentle kisses tell us that he is beginning to believe he will never again land in the pound..., that his destiny awaits him in the arms of his true forever family.
