#205 - Adopt a Pet from an Animal Shelter

On April 7, 2012 (Easter Weekend) we met Amelia at the Hamilton-Burlington SPCA. Her name was Andrea then and she was a wonderfully sucky, quiet pup of 18 months. BOY WERE WE FOOLED! She was an absolute maniac who if left unattended destroyed things and when attended was absolutely so full of energy and life that she tuckered us out with at least two walks/runs a day plus playing. The dog parks quickly became a place of sanctuary for us - a place we could take her and she was run her little heart out and come home tired (if only for an hour). We have had lots of little hurtles with this girl from bee stings, to her destroying our Stag and Doe prizes, to learning she loves soccer, to dog school level 1 and 2 to a total couch potato now (literally!) By the way, she is named after yet another literary character Amelia Bedelia. Enjoy the pictures and videos below!
