Dolmic's Story

For anyone who is considering adopting a pet from HSU, I would personally like to say it its the best thing you could ever do. I found Dolmic 8 years ago. I knew the instant I looked in his eyes, that he would be a member of our family. He was a little over a year old, and had already been returned to HSU 2x's, when we met. As a life long pet owner, I have had many dogs, but never one as sweet as Dolmic. When we visit my dad (another life long pet owner), he calls Dolmic the perfect gentleman. (As far as the name, I kept his previous name to give him some continuity). I do not know his previous story, but he was terrified of certain objects like brooms, and dog brushes when we met, but now lies happily at my feet while I am sweeping. Instead of running into a back room trembling, I now have to shoo him out of the way.

Dolmic had a lot of energy when he was young (and still does), which fit right in with me as I am always hiking, running, etc.

I can not fully express with words what a wonderful pet Dolmic has been. He motivates me to get out when I may not always initially feel like it.To see how happy it makes him just to go for a walk makes it worth it, and makes me appreciate the little things in life more. He cheers me up, and gives me kisses when I am sad. He has been the best addition to our family. In fact, my parents who had always bought pets from breeders, just last month got a dog from the shelter after their older dog had passed away. Dolmic has been the perfect companion, and I could not have wished, nor imagined a better dog!
