Presley's Story

In February of 2008, my husband and I decided that a dog just might be the kind of medication I needed to battle my depression that I had been fighting with for a few years. When we walked in to the HSU we knew that we wanted an older dog, one that was house broken, and that loved being loved. We walked past Presley a couple of times before I decided I wanted to take her out and walk her a bit. My husband and I fell in love with her. She walked so well on the leash and was so sweet. We took her in to the room where we could sit and spend more time with her and she just caught my heart. She listened, she was so sweet, and she just loved the attention. It was like we connected. So, we took her home that day. She is such a wonderful dog. She lets us know when she has to go out, and is so lovable. We only had a couple of problems with her getting in to stuff when we were both working, but for the most part, she has been the greatest dog I could have asked for. I am no longer taking my anti depressants and even my doctor attributes that to having someone there with me all the time that relies on me to take care of her and that gives unconditional love. I am so glad that we were able to find her. She really has changed our life for the better.
