After two years in foster care Slick and Flicker went home this week. We, along with our community of adopters and fans are praying that their fear is minimal and they will know they have finally gone home. We had accepted the fact there was a possibility they would be here forever. That their emotional and physical special needs were going to be more than most folks wanted to deal with. Years of abuse and neglect can take a toll on some dogs and they show remnants of their past. Slick, with broken legs that were never able to heal properly, part of his tongue missing, and Flicker with an old break of her femur that was left to heal on it’s own. The physical healed faster than the emotional, for Slick especially but how far they have come indeed.

In two years they have come full circle. They enjoy human interaction, play, toys and all the things that were completely foreign to them two years ago. They are going to a beautiful home with two fenced in acres, a pond of their very own and this year, their very own Christmas tree.

They will not be separate but part of their very own family unit. I know once they have acclimated to their new environment, they are going to know they hit the lottery as far as forever homes go. I’ll take pictures too while I’m there so you can all see.

We couldn’t be more happy for them, they are such sweet souls those two.

They deserve this.
