Tell us a little something about your dog (what they mean to you, your favorite thing about them, what they have taught you, or their rescue story)
Miss Girl came from MCAC in Arizona, where she was found as a stray. I had been fostering with Arfanage Dog Rescue for six years, but she was the first dog I officially called my own. An elderly couple adopted her from the shelter but realized they couldn’t handle her, and that’s when she came to me. Funny enough, I had seen her a year earlier at the shelter but was going out of town at the time — it truly felt like fate that she found her way back to me.

Her name is Miss Girl (yes, that’s really her name; yes, I tried to change it; and no, she absolutely will not come to anything else). She’s full of sass and personality, ruling our house (and our bed) with confidence. She’s moved with me through every stage of my life, always by my side. She loves to be chased, adores cats, and never turns down kisses from people. Though she’s tolerated my many foster dogs over the years, she definitely prefers being the queen of the castle. Her favorite things include her “anxiety bones,” sticking her head out the window on highway drives, and giving dramatic sighs or disapproving looks when she wants to make her feelings known.

She’s taught me patience, loyalty, and how much love one little dog can bring into your life.
