Today, it’s been five years since I adopted a puppy from a high kill shelter that had no time left. Since then I have developed a moderate case of a neurological disease that causes seizures. Believe it or not, dog is able to detect my seizures before I know. She starts barking hysterically, and keys me into my episode before it starts. So today she is my service dog. The life I saved saving me every day MMT.

I'm happy to hear you and your puppy are doing well together. I just wanted to stop by and say that you shouldn't hold it against the shelter that they euthanize dogs. This is a reality all shelters must face. No-kill shelters do not have the moral high ground; they deliberately turn away dogs because they cannot care for them. No shelter wants to put healthy dogs down, but there's more animals in need of homes than there are spaces in shelters to care for them.
