The team that puts on BlogPaws is passionate about what they are doing. And they do it well. This is a complex event that went off without a hitch (or one that was visible to me).

How to find a Veterinarian -- A First Timers Guide
One of the things I did soon after bringing Murphy home is find a vet. My criteria were simple at that time -- close and convenient. A friend of mine said, “of course, you’ll take him to Long Animal Hospital. My family has been taking our pets there for over 30 years.” I did some quick internet research and settled on Long. It was a great decision, but I know more now than I did then about the things that matter.

Rescue Tails - The First Night
Rescue Tails -- Meeting Murphy
The morning of January 5th I got a call from the Humane Society of Charlotte (HSC). They said that my application had been the first and that if I wanted Murphy, I could adopt him. I needed to come see him first (which, of course, I wanted to do anyway). I had meetings all morning, but I went out to the shelter at lunch time.
I got to the shelter and stepped out in a cold, grey day. I went in and told them that I was there to meet Murphy. They told me the number of Murphy’s kennel and that they would send a volunteer to bring him to the interaction area.
Rescue Tails -- Finding Murphy
That night I looked at the Humane Society website and there he was – Murphy. He was a male Shih Tzu. He was three years old it. He was brown and white and his eyes told the tale. They said, I’ve seen a lot, but it hasn’t broken my spirit. I filled out the application on the spot and sent it in electronically.
