LeeLoo

LeeLoo is our little miracle. We have been trying to purchase a house in Newburgh for about a month. Back and forth contract negotiations and about giving up on the house have stretched both my husband and I to our limits. But on the day we were to begin signing paper work for the house, we received an e-mail from the Ohio Valley Corgi rescue stating that they had found us a dog. She was 4, over weight, and named Olga.

We spoke with the foster parent and learned that she was everything we had wanted in a corgi. At 4, she was house broken, crate trained, altered and pretty much ready to roll. She had landed in the foster's house after being left at a humane society. The HS tried to contact local rescues but they were all full. Out of the kindness of her heart, a woman (well into her 60s) named Joan took 'Olga' into her home for a month and arranged our adoption. The work she did with 'Olga' on leash walking, weight loss and household manners have paid off and I currently have a wonderful, well mannered pup at my feet.

LeeLoo currently weighs 35 pounds. We have finally settled with the family who is is selling the house and hopefully within a month, LeeLoo will have a back yard to romp around. We are so glad she came into our lives!
