A Big Sky welcome to Emma, the mellowest 3-month-old pup I've ever met.
Emma journeyed with her mum and siblings from California to TRACS in hopes of finding her very own human.
Niece A, in search of a sweet little buddy, journeyed to Thompson Falls from southern Alberta, via Livingston, Montana, with a stop to pick me up in Missoula, Montana.
Mission accomplished for both parties, thanks to the devoted matchmakers at TRACS.
In chatting with the staff at TRACS, we learned that, in addition to networking and receiving animals from other states, animal adoption shelters south of the US-Canada border see a lot of Canadian visitors. Who knew?!
But we're certainly glad for all the wonderful work by TRACS that resulted in a happy California-Alberta combination.
P.S. If you are looking for your very own sweet dog (or cat - yes, dear cynic, there is such a thing as a sweet feline), Thompson River Animal Care Shelter (TRACS) updates their roster frequently (click the text link in their name).
And if you wish for a pup as darling as Emma, her sister, Eadie, (pictured in both photos below) made for a tough choice between sweet puppies. Eadie is still available, as is their mum, Eileen, and a varied selection of other dogs.
