Wheatens In NeedŽ Success Stories - 2009

Quinn
WIN got a call from a rescue group in Quincy Illinois in January
2009. The kill shelter called a no kill shelter telling then they
found a shaggy dog and thought it was a sheepdog. Turns out that
sheep dog was a Wheaten. He was all skin and bones and we don’t know
how he survived December 2008, as the Midwest was a in a deep freeze
– solid ice. After about a week in the no kill shelter, another
breed rescue group brought Quinn to us in a parking lot in
Schaumburg IL. It would have broken your heart to see how thin he
was, but he was full of spirit and adjusted well to the comforts of
home. A few weeks later, Andrea and Todd Miller were chosen to adopt
Quinn (short for Quincy where he came from). It was Andrea’s
birthday and she requested nothing for herself, but wanted her
husband to spend the money at PETCO for Quinn’s needs. I think he
bought out half the store…they had everything you could think of
waiting for him. Quinn was happiest with a large over stuffed chair
in the living room with a large picture window to look out. That’s
all he needed. He claimed this chair from day one! Andrea was hoping
to put the chair on the curb, as she never liked it, but I don’t
think she minds now that her best furry friend is occupying that
chair.
Quinn has been the best addition to our family, and he his just
that: our baby! He makes us laugh constantly, from the second HE
wakes us up in the morning to go outside or just play until he
cuddles up with us when we go to bed. He has the just has the best
nature and is the sweetest dog we have ever known, and everyone that
meets him agrees! He is always the talk of the neighborhood,
especially when he takes him mom for a walk! (It is a sight, believe
me!)
We were incredibly blessed to have Quinn come into our life. It was
meant to be, especially when he came to us for the first time and
jumped right into "his" chair! Thank you WIN!
