I saved a dog from being put to sleep !

My sister called me last week telling me about a full blooded Chihuahua that was being put to sleep because the owner's apartment complex went "pet free" , and she didn't' have time to get rid of it, so she was just going to put it to sleep. He was 6 months old, and according to my sister, very lovable, with a great personality. I told her there was no way I could take another dog. We already had 2 in the house, and my husband let me know there was not going to be anymore than two ( which I completely understood ) So, all day it just ate at me, knowing it was going to be put to sleep. When he came in from work I told him about it, but then I finished with the sentence " I can't just let that dog be put to sleep, I can keep it until I can find a home for it" So, I headed to the phone to call my sister, that evening I had the dog. His name is "boots" and he is not a full blooded Chihuahua, but some sort of mix. That was okay, because his personality was just prefect, and oh those great big ears was just too adorable. He had this thing for ear lobes, he loved to nibble on them, but all he wanted to do was lay in your lap, and have his belly rubbed. I ended up finding him a home within two days, but I am here to tell you , it was hard letting him go. My girls, as well as me, hated my husband for a couple of hours after letting him go, lol. I emailed the lady back only a couple of hours of giving "boots" to her , telling her I would take him back if it didn't work out, but they were thrilled to have him, of course ! It turned out that the lady did not take care of the dog, and would kick him when he got up under her feet. I also had to treat him for fleas and worms. I am just so thankful that "Boots" is with a loving family with 3 children ( he loved kids ), and is very happy. It would have been such a wasted life, to have put him down.
