Oh wow, do I have a HAPPY-HAPPY Holiday story to share!  Well hello there, my name is Olive!  DARE rescued me the first part of January, 2010. That's right almost 3 years ago.  
I was a breeder dog, and as I got older, the "bad people" had no more use for me.  That's how I ended up in a cold shelter cage. 
DARE not only rescued me from the kill shelter (as if that was not bad enough) they also saved my life in so many other ways!  I had a really bad mammary gland tumor that hurt, and DARE and their wonderful Doctors had it removed.  They also gave me a fresh new healthy life by getting me all the great medical care I needed.  They even had me spayed and whooo-hoooo, was I happy about that!  I have lived the past almost 3 years in DARE foster care with wonderful, wonderful people. 

But I have SO dreamed of having a home of my very own.  I'm 12 years old now and all I asked Santa for this year, was a family to call my own.  GUESS WHAT???....I GOT IT!!!!!  Thank you Michelle and Paige and my 3 new furry siblings who have welcomed me with lots of hugs and licks!  The heck with retirement, let the fun begin! 
Thank you for adopting me.... I promise to love you forever,
Olive.
