    My story comes from pure happenstance. I was looking at different Russel Terriers online, and happened upon the Good Dog site. There was Lupin, and just from her photo, my heart was won over. I read Shannon’s bio from the site, and from my first contact with her, I could feel her genuine warmth and care for all of her fur babies. She guided me through everything I would need to know, to raise and care for Lupin. Because of the distance, we would FaceTime, which allowed me to see Lupin interacting with Shannon’s family and some of her other fur babies. Every step of the process, she made it very easy. Lupin is now home with me in Florida, and the sun shines much brighter for having her here with me. Thank you Shannon, my heart is ever so grateful to know you. Your friend, Joanne in sunny FLA
