Your Pet's Rescue StoryI'm a true believer that Steven rescued me. After losing my three long hair dachshunds within a year I thought I could never have a dog again. Two of them were senior rescues (Daisy & Leo) and had long beautiful lives, my little girl, (Queeny) passed from a congenital blood disorder at the age of 9. I was lonely and sad and missed the true unconditional love of a dog. Fast forward 8 months and got curious about a Humane Society of Polk County rescue event at my local Pet Smart. My intention was to just "look" and there's where I met Steven. His previous owner adopted him and returned him after 5 days because he was "hyper", this broke my heart. I felt a deep connection as soon as I looked at his eyes; right then I knew he was "the one"! All this little guy needed was a daily long walk and some fetch play. Everyone that meets him comments how friendly and well behaved he is. He loves to pose for pictures and fills my days with joy!
