Here's mine (about my dog Reba):

We wanted to help out the SPCA, and we went to the one in northern Montgomery County. I very quickly picked out my dog Reba (she had really sweet eyes, was active, and was good with the handlers.) But we were put on a waiting list, as others wanted her. We went to another SPCA, but no dog we found was like Reba. So we waited. A couple days after, we got the call that we were chosen to own Reba! I think it helped that we kept calling, asking for the latest status on her. I couldn't have dreamed a better dog.

Reba got to the SPCA after she was abandoned with her sister by the road. It's bad enough to abandon a dog, but to make things worse, the SPCA was very close by! It was a policeman that found her.
