She's still here.
Peggy (aka, Miss Piggy) has been at HAWS since February 1st of this year. She was a stray that was wandering in Menomonee Falls who didn't get reclaimed by her owner. So, after the 7-day hold period, we temperament tested her and put her up for adoption, hoping to place her in a new home.
She's still waiting!
It is a common misconception that shelters have a "death row" or "euthanasia list" - a list of animals that will be put down after a certain time frame if they are not adopted. HAWS doesn't have a time limit - and Peggy is our latest proof of that.
So what kind of home does Peggy need? Well, she's not a cat fan, so one without cats. She does well with dogs - but not every dog, so we'll do an introduction with her and your resident best buddy. Peggy loves people. And kids. She's been spending time with our Kids'N Critters Day Camp participants, doing training and socialization demos. She "hangs" in the office with us, knows her manners, and is just a pleasant dog to be around.
It breaks our hearts to see the other dogs come and go, adopted out while Peggy waits.
We're just hopeful that the right home is coming. Soon.
By the way - our kid's camp is in full swing, and having a blast! If you missed out on this year's sessions, mark your calendars: we also have winter camps while school is out, and we'll be taking registrations early next spring for the 2009 sessions. Watch our website!
