"Along Came Alyce" - A Adoption Story

It was a crisp Saturday morning when we first decided to visit the local animal shelter. We weren't exactly sure what we were looking for - perhaps a new member to add to our family. We wandered through the aisles of kennels, each one housing a hopeful face, wagging tails, and curious eyes. But amidst them all, one particular dog caught our attention - a pitbull terrier named Alyce.

At first, we hesitated. We had heard so many stories about pitbulls - weren't they aggressive and difficult to manage? But there was something in Alyce's eyes that told a different story. She sat quietly in her kennel, her warm brown eyes following our every move. Unlike the others, she didn't bark or jump around; she just watched us, calmly and patiently.

We asked the shelter staff about her, and their faces lit up. "Alyce is a gem," they said. "She's been with us for quite a while. People often overlook her because of her breed.

The decision was surprisingly easy. It felt like Alyce chose us, rather than the other way around. The day we brought her home was filled with nervous excitement. Alyce explored every corner of her new home with a careful curiosity, her tail wagging cautiously.

Over the next few weeks, Alyce blossomed. She loved her early morning walks with mom. She was gentle with children and seemed to understand that she needed to be extra careful around them. In the evenings, she would curl up at our feet, content in the warmth of her new home.

But it wasn't just Alyce who changed - it was us, too. We learned about the misconceptions surrounding her breed, and how wrong they were. Alyce taught us about resilience, trust, and unconditional love. She wasn't just a pet; she is now part of our family.

SUBSCRIBER SUBMITTED - BUDDYS ADOPTION STORY

Ever since I was little, I've dreamed of having a dog. My name is Jamie, and life has always been a bit different for me. You see, I was born with a condition that makes it hard for me to walk, so I spend most of my time in a wheelchair or with a walker. But that never made a difference for my love for animals.

i watch Youtube dog videos online and in November my parents took me to the local animal shelter. They had a special adoption rate and I hoped to get a dog who would be not just a pet but my friend. I remember feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as we entered the shelter. Dog barks filled the air, each animal calling out for attention.

There, in on of the stalls was a medium-sized dog with the kindest eyes I'd ever seen. He was scruffy, with a coat that looked like a patchwork of browns and blacks. His tail wagged slowly as our eyes met. I knew right then he was the one. The shelter staff told us his story. He was a rescue dog, found wandering the city streets, and he was just about at the end of his waiting time for a furever home.

The first time I approached him, he didn't jump or bark excitedly like the other dogs. Instead, he calmly walked over and gently rested his head on my knee. It was as if he understood me, knew about my challenges, and was saying, "I'm here for you." We named him Buddy, "my buddy".

Bringing Buddy home was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. He was patient and gentle, always staying close by my side. On days when I felt down or frustrated, Buddy is always a comforting reminder that I am not alone and often helped me change my mood.

Buddy has brought our family closer together. We now take short walks along our street or in the nearby park, me in my wheelchair and Buddy trotting alongside, his leash loosely held in my hand. People stop to pet him, and he loves the attention. But he always checks on me to make sure I am okay.

We are learning and growing together and Buddy seems to understand when I need help, he picks up things I dropped (sometimes) and helps me navigate around the house.

Adopting Buddy wasn't just about getting a dog, he is a part of our family and my best friend.

Thanks for letting me tell my story, my mom helped me write this and I hope you use my story. PS I love the Alyce videos on Tik Tok, Jamie L, Coon Rapids MN.
