Happy Tails Adoption from Second Chance How Two Hearts Met Over the Evening News

This is a story of how two hearts found each other over the evening news!  Michelle Sutton of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and a special needs pup named Mrs. Peabody were at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, news station promoting their respective non-profit organizations for a spotlight news cast.  A connection was made immediately as each of them waited behind the scenes.

Kim Nelson, Shelter Manager of Second Chance Pet Rescue, traveled to the Tulsa news station with Mrs. Peabody to represent Second Chance Pet Rescue as an animal rescue of Grove, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Peabody was certainly eye catching!  She had only three legs, one sighted eye, and was deaf.  But, Mrs. Peabody was also so endearing in how little any disability bothered her.  She had a sunny-side personality that was unstoppably happy.

So, the adoption of Mrs. Peabody by Michelle was made official in April of 2015.  Mrs. Peabody, now known as Sadie, acclimated into her new home in true spoiled rescue fashion.  You see, Mrs. Peabody does not believe in any bad days.  Additionally to loving Michelle unconditionally, Mrs. Peabody formed a bond with Michelle's Dad, who lost much of his own leg a year alter Mrs. Peabody's adoption.  Mrs. Peabody has made his own transition and recovery a bit easier by setting an example.  Positive attitude is paramount!

Michelle has made two more lives complete when she and Mrs. Peabody opened their home to two hard-to-place senior dogs that had been surrendered to Second Chance Pet Rescue.  It is a known fact that it is more difficult to place senior dogs into forever homes than any other homeless pet living within shelters.  But in August of 2016, Michelle adopted together Harley, a 12 year old shepherd mix, and Hanni Bell, an 8 year old spaniel mix.  All three dogs are dearly loved by Michelle and her Dad.

Mrs. Peabody (aka Sadie), Harley, and Hanni Bell are just three examples of how adoption of special needs and/or senior dogs and "second chances" have become a family affair.  Our blessings to all.
