family Fizzie , adopted pup from Karing Kennels When we adopted Fizzie, we thought we were bringing home a rescued animal in need of caring and loving owners. When we fi rst saw Fizzie, she had just been rescued from the streets and wasn’t allowed to play with anyone or other dogs until she recovered. She was starved, hairless, and had a few dozen allergies to common things. At fi rst, no one was sure she would even survive the night, but she did and she made an amazing recovery! When she was allowed to play with people, we took her out to the pen and we felt an instant connection. Fizzie pounced the toys and pawed her way into our hearts. All we needed to bring Fizzie home was to sign for our on-base house. Both things happened the same day and we brought her home as soon as we could. What we didn’t realize is that it was Fizzie that not only brightened our lives, but also tied us all together. Whenever either of us gets home from a bad day, Fizzie’s warm, loving kisses and cuddling make it better. We go on family walks together, or play at the local dog park and it draws us all together. Over time, Fizzie fully recovered from her life on the streets and she has been such a welcomed addition to our family. If it weren’t for the help of Karing Kennels’ incredible staff, their speedy efforts to enable Fizzie’s recovery and their passion for rescuing animals, I don’t think that Fizzie would have made her way into our lives, or even out of the shelter. - Stout Family She instantly livened up the rooms as she sniffed around and excitedly explored. She came into our young marriage and turned us into a family. ADOPTION DAYS SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS • NOON - 6 PM 8 WWW.KADENAFSS.COM
