 Reaggen's Story
When my husband Alan and I got ready to move into our first house,
our search for our future dog began. I had grown up with a beagle
who was my best friend as a child, and couldn't imagine a home
without a dog! Alan had dog allergies, and had never been able to
live with a dog before, but that was not going to stop us.
After a lot of research, we got our hearts set on a Wheaten. We
went to a dog show in Fort Worth, where we met Gwen and her
wonderful dogs. One big kiss from her wheaten and I was in love! She
told us about WIN, and we put in our application to adopt.
Just when we thought we'd never be able to find a doggie that
would work with Alan's allergies, God blessed us with TWO in one
week! We rescued Reggie, a wheaten mix, from another rescue
organization, and the very next day, Gwen called to let us know she
had a Wheaten for us in Dallas! Our prayer was answered double!
We met Reaggen at his family's home - he was fortunate in that
they took very good care of him, and loved him enough to find a new
home for him when their lives got too busy for a dog. He was VERY
friendly, and loved Reggie too. Our family was finally complete.
Reaggen needed to learn a few social skills, so we signed him up
for obedience class at PetSmart, and he is doing GREAT. He is a very
fast learner, and our teacher is even amazed at how far he has come.
He is the perfect big brother for Reggie, a great running partner,
and a good lap dog too (nevermind his size!). We love him so much
and cannot thank WIN enough for bringing this boy into our lives!
