On September 26th, I lost my home. I cannot begin to even describe the feeling of losing the person who you love day in and day out and give your unconditional love to. I can only tell you of the experience I had while waiting to leave..


It had been a hard month for my dad. He arrived home late in the evening and would talk to his neighbors, head out and look for work. For the past 14 years, I had the most wonderful meals, breakfast and dinner..and many treats...but the past month, my meals had been restricted to just one small meal a day..but I was fine with that. My only concern was being with my dad.. Then one night, when my dad arrived home, he started packing our things. First my food bowls, then my dog bed with my soft blanket...that I slept on every night beside his bed..We loaded up everything in the truck and I hopped in beside him.


I stood with him at the stop lights daily, as he begged for food and money and begged for food for me..But I did not mind, as I was with my dad..Nothing can take away the love I have for him.


But then, after weeks went by, my dad pulled up to a place and I could hear all the dogs barking..I saw the sad faces of families leaving with loose leashes..but I knew my dad loved me and I would always be with him. He pulled in and put me on my leash and I walked in beside him, so proud to be his dog..He had raised me from a puppy, had given me 14 years of love and care...and a warm safe bed..


And then all of a sudden, I was handed over to a woman at the counter, who looked sad when she looked at me...All of a sudden, I realized that my dad was hugging me, petting me and telling me it would be ok..and then he got up and started walking away from me. I started pulling at the end of my leash, trying to go with him, but the woman had a strong hold of me..and then I saw my dad look back, take one last look and tell me good bye and he was gone..I was alone.


It has been 35 days and every day I look for my dad..I see all the families come in and I see all the dogs around me happy and headed to their new families..I sit right up against the doors barking and hopping, hoping that someone will take me out to find my dad...But no one does.


On Friday I saw all of the volunteers whispering and talking..and looking at me. I was unsure what it was about..maybe my dad was coming back for me. On Saturday, I hopped in a truck and was brought by a wonderful woman to another wonderful woman who met with a gentleman who reminded me of my dad..He was loving and pet me and told me that I was not going home to my dad. But he promised me that he would find me a new dad..one who would spoil me and love me again.


I know I am 14 years old, but I promise to be with you as long as you promise to not give me up..because I cannot begin to tell you what it is like to lose your home and lose that one person you hold more dear than life itself. But I am lucky..I hear staff mention that I was lucky to have been brought to this Shelter..that my time could have ended that same day I arrived due to space..I am one of the lucky ones I am told..Lucky because I will find another dad..my life did not end the day my dad said Goodbye..


Logan is very lucky..Lucky that his dad brought him to a Shelter that goes above and beyond to find safe homes for their dogs..and lucky he caught the eye of a volunteer who loves dogs and will drive hours to move dogs to their homes and safe in a Rescue who is looking for Logan's new home. Logan is currently being fostered with a Shepherd and a min pin..his favorite buddy is a 12 lb dog named Maggie..Logan is 14 years old and we would never have believed it had Logan not been turned in by his owner to the Shelter..He has so much life left to give and so much love. All he wants is that person who will give him that soft bed and the love and time he will offer right back. Unconditionally.


We all pass by the Logan's every day in the Shelter....and most don't have the happy ending Logan has...Logan is a very special dog who deserves to be spoiled again..and we are hoping his new family will think so too..
