Hello.
My name is Darlene (Gram to most people), and I'd like to share
the story of Bubbles with you. I am 79 years old and I live alone.
I was feeling very lonely, so I went to the Animal Rescue League
on December 7, 1998, to see if I could find a new friend. That's
where I found Bubbles. She needed a home and a lot of love just
like I did. She was picked up by Animal Control, and the shelter
had no history on her. She is a little beagle and is such great
company for me.

Bubbles
loves everybody and everything. Bubbles is the most popular dog
in Lawrenceville. The mailman loves her (imagine that!) and the
man who reads the gas meter rings the doorbell and calls her name
when he comes to my house. Neighborhood kids stop after school
to visit her.

| My
little beagle loves to walk, so it gets me out of the house and
I get exercise. I take her to the bank with me, where she greets
everybody in line. When we walk in, everyone in line looks so bored,
but she takes care of that. By the time we leave, everyone in line
is talking and laughing, telling stories about their own dogs. Bubbles
brings out the best in everyone. Talk about bringing out community
spirit! There's nothing like a cute dog to get people to open up
and talk to each other. |

Purina
was a big help when it came to getting me together with Bubbles.
Purina believes that older people should have pets, so they paid
for her adoption through the Pets for People Program. The only rules
they have are that you have to be 65 years of age and the dog you
adopt must be an older dog (no puppies).

If you go into the Purina
web site (www.purina.com) and type
in Pets for People in the search window, you can get more information
on this program.
I thank God for Purina and
for Bubbles. Mere words can't express what she has done for me.
Be smart . . . . Adopt a pet
from your local animal shelter!
P.S. Bubbles loves Purina "Fit
ÔN Trim". Maybe she knows how much Purina helped her find a new home.
See past featured alumni!
