Congratulations Maybelle!

November

I always like to hear when a pet that LoHud.com and The Journal News has promoted for adoption finally gets a home. Well, after waiting a long, long time, Maybelle has hit her jackpot. Congrats Maybelle! Here’s a photo of her with her new family and the update from Leslie at the Yonkers Animal Shelter.

Take it away Leslie….

After being here for FIVE years, Maybelle a.k.a. Maybelline, has found her forever home.
Maybelle arrived here one day in 2004, very shortly after giving birth. She was wandering along Yonkers Avenue all alone. Clearly discarded, when she was no longer needed. She was always overlooked. With over 100 dogs in the shelter, some live in the shadows for years. They might be too large or too thin or just too quiet and overshadowed by their more outgoing shelter mates.
Maybelle was one of those dogs. And then a couple of months ago her luck changed when the Journal News made her The Pet of The Week. She received several nice inquiries that weren’t quite right for her, but clearly there was a family out there for her, so we put on her “adopt me vest” and off she went to Pet Expo.

The rest, as they say, is history. Maybelle found her forever family. They all came to take her home to begin the first day of her wonderful new life. We miss you Maybelle, but we are so glad you found your place!!

Good work, Laurel. Good, sweet story. They all look happy. I wonder if the dogs miss the shelter after spending so many years there..
Babs? Hmmm..

Thanks for posting this for YAS.

I put it up at my own blog (I volunteer there as a walker). I only met Maybelle in June, but she was a favorite. She loved greenies!

Thanks Adele!

ilb, maybe the company of other dogs, but I doubt it. Would you rather be in jail with other people or live in your own home

And I didn’t make the name up. It landed on me
