Misty, 10 years old, belongs to Pat Lynch and Ron Stolte. She was found wandering and abandoned in Baldwin Park, California. She was very pregnant, starving, and infested with ticks and fleas. A kind soul brought her to the shelter. In a few days her puppies were born -- all dead. GPA rescued her and hoped to find her a home. After hearing about her, Pat and Ron offered to adopt her.
That was almost two years ago. She has gained 25 pounds and lives with Willow Grey (Greyhound, 6 1/2 years) and Binky Marie (Papillon, 11 years). Misty is filled with joy and brings us happiness every day. She loves rolling in the grass under the afternoon sun. She still follows Pat around; they are never more than a few feet from each other. When Pat covers her up at night, Misty looks into her eyes, quietly and gently, as if to express the gratitude she feels for the chance to spend another day in Pat's company. Pat feels the same way.
