Brewster

Hello, my name is Brewster. One of the volunteers decided to
write down my story, as she felt there had to be a loving human
out there who would be willing to help. I'm the kind of pup
who flies under the radar, and this lady said "enough of that,
let's get the world to know about this sweet guy and see what
happens!" So, here is my story, as dictated to said human...

I came to the rescue about a year ago. Since that time, no
one, yes you read that right, *NO ONE* has shown any interest in me. Not one call, not one application, not one visit,
nothing. I try not to take it too hard, I have heard that
sometimes nice guys finish last, but to be honest, it doesn't
seem fair. I mean NO ONE? Some of my friends have 10 people at
a time applying to take them home in a matter of DAYS. Hearing
those stories can be hard on a guy's self esteem you know. As
nice as the people at the rescue are, and as much as they love
me, a year is a long time.

Anyway, I arrived at the rescue after being saved from a "home"
where I was mistreated...actually, pretty much just forgotten
completely. Although I arrived at the rescue with a big grin
and a wagging tail, I ended up making the humans who had "seen
it all" cry and cry----I didn't mean to, I really didn't. But
I heard them say that I was the thinest dog they had EVER seen
alive, and that they hoped I would "make it" til the next day,
whatever that meant. When they talk about it now, they mention
that they wish they had photos to show how far I had come, but
that I had been so heartbreaking to see, they couldn't even
bring themselves to photograph me back then.

I arrived with my girlfriend, who I ADORED. We slept on top of
each other, ate from the same bowl, played all day and just
smiled at each other nonstop. My girlfriend was one of the
dogs who had humans want her, and although I was happy for her,
when she left, it broke my heart. Really, my world about
ended. I was so sad that the humans who "had seen it all" and
who live their lives to find loving homes for us dogs, actually
considered calling the family and begging for my girlfriend
back. They said that was the only time in all their years in
rescue that they ever even thought such a thought. I admit, I
was pitiful. I was so sad, one of the ladies just sat with me
and cried her kind of human tears while I cried my doggie way,
for hours and hours---- I just couldn't make myself stop. One
day, a new gal came to the rescue. Her name is Hailey and she
is my new girlfriend. I think she is beautiful and she makes
me so happy and I love her, but no one has wanted her either.
I don't understand that. I may have funny teeth and ears, and
maybe that is why no one wants me in their family (although I
think that is very mean-spirited), but Hailey is so pretty and
happy and fun, even though she has no tail. She and I play and
talk and wrestle and jump and have a wonderful time. I like to
dump the lid off of my doghouse and pretend it is a boat and
sit in it for hours, but Hailey doesn't like to get in the boat
with me. Maybe someday a human will love me enough to take me
home and for a ride in a "real" boat. Wow, wouldn't that be
great.

As far as the kind of guy I am, I love humans, even though they
have really let me down so far in my short life. So, I guess
that makes me "forgiving", right? I don't know much as far as
training goes, but that's only because no one has ever taught
me. I think it would be so cool to have a job, to learn stuff
that makes my very own human happy. I am about 2 years old,
and am a healthy boy, who has been neutered, has all his shots,
is heartworm negative and stays that way by taking his
preventative medicine each month like a good boy. I have a
microchip in case I ever do find a home, and then get
lost....there is NO WAY I want to finally get a family and then
lose them!!!

I sure hope you come meet me soon. I can't wait for the day
when I get my very first call or application...I know that
sounds like no big deal to a lot of the "fancy" dogs around
here, but to a guy like me, it would mean the world. I promise
I won't turn you down because you have funny teeth or weird
ears like I do---I can see past that stuff and will love you
anyway. And hey, if you have the space, maybe you'd like to
meet my girlfriend Hailey too? Did I mention I love her? I
know she will be happy for me if I find a home, but since I am
hoping for a miracle, I am going to hope that maybe my very
special human would have room for both of us. I would love you
no matter what, but it would make me sad to think of Hailey
back at the rescue alone, with no one to sit in the boat.

Thanks for reading my story.
Signed with lots of hope,
Brewster
