"She came to us as perfection!" - Charlotte (retired breeder)

​We were very blessed to welcome Charlotte into our home this past February. Her gentle, patient nature made her acclimation to her new home so seamless. 

Charlotte immediately become part of our family. Delighting in both playing alongside her (annoying) little sister Esther, as well as solo time with mom, Charlotte exhibits excellence in trust, patience and adoration in everything she does. We love our daily walks (and talks), and we survey the garden out back each morning together. She patiently observes squirrels, rabbits and neighbors out doing yard work, happy to stay by my side as a constant companion. We take opportunities to socialize on patio dinners, and with children on the nearby playground each day (her favorite I think, but she doesn’t discriminate). 

The inherent adoration and love we feel from Charlotte is unmatched. To think that we were chosen as her forever family, now the recipients of this pure joy, is incredible! We’re in basic obedience now (checking that box) before moving on to therapy dog work, for which she was absolutely born to do. She is a lover! As we started classes, I wish I could take credit for a fraction of the disposition and manners so firmly in place (as I watched the other class participants go through that familiar obedience struggle - we had none lol); the truth is we cannot. She came to us as perfection! We’ve had so many conversations with folks about how we came to acquire Charlotte - not many know that retired breeding mom adoption is an option! But the response is always the same - besides jealously, it’s  adoration and excitement! This includes our vet :) to have met Charlotte is to love her and she will bring her sunshine to so many in her therapy work!

Thank you thank you thank you for the gift of Charlotte, the light in our lives. She is: Sheer joy and perfection. We love her more each day!

With thanks and more appreciation than we could express,

Jena and Patrick Stebly
