Part 2 UPDATE 12 - 17 -11 - I have really good news. Previous adopters of mine Paula and Lynn (adopted Bertie now known as Hondo) from Wichita Falls saw Nilla and fell in love. They were at the limit for their city so they went and got a special permit to be allowed to adopt Nilla so they would continue to be law abiding citizens.

When I met Paula and Steve to hand Nilla off to them it was raining and as we talked and Steve got her in his lap, I knew that was where she was gonna be pretty much from now on. You could just tell. He was just oohing and ahhing and cuddling and spoiling her. I don't know if Paula is gonna get a pet in edgewise.

So... Nilla now has a home with 5 brother and Sisters to play with. She thinks that is mighty fine, although they may not agree. I am very pleased that Nilla has gone to a home that has previous Boston puppy experience as she is going to be a challenge both with her eye and being deaf. Paula and Steve already have a dog trainer working with them to teach them and Nilla how to communicate with each other. These folks even have a doggie walker that comes during the day to walk and love on the dogs while they are at work. Nilla has hit the jackpot.

Here is just one of the emails that I have gotten from the new parents, QUOTE: This is Evie aka Vanilla Rilla. We adopted her and she is a sweet little girl. She had a rough start in life but now is enjoying her forever home. She is much loved and is "Daddy's little girl" She has two speeds- zoom and blur and sleep. Her deafness or blindness in one eye doesn't stop her. Her brothers and sister are getting to know her. They think she is a "puppy pest". We go today for her first puppy class. We found a trainer willing to help us. Here we go for the adventure.
Paula and Steve

So thankfully, this story has a happy ending for a little girl tossed out of a car like garbage to a loving home with people willing to go the extra mile to communicate with her and care for her special needs. AS you can see in the below photos, Evie aka Nilla is growing and full of it. Paula was complaining she couldn't get any good pix cause Evie was always on the move. Yep, I coulda told you that. She is a Boston puppy and they only stop to sleep. SO A BIG Thank you to Paula and Steve for adopting a special needs little girl.

As always, we at ABTR appreciate your continued support of our rescue efforts. Without your generosity and support, we could not have helped as many dogs as we have over the years. :) Thank you so very much. Wanda
