-Hi Jerri, Your story is about the same as mine. I have a 3 1/2 yo male, Clancey and was adopted the same as you. Parents died and kids didn't want to take care of him. I had gone to the Petco that was offering adoptions with the intention of getting a different dog. When I got there a foster mother walked in with him and placed him in my arms. The rest is history and we love him to death. Best to you, Leslie in So Cal

The police called the family, and they said to send Caesar to the pound. (I have no idea how long Caesar was left alone with his dead owner.) The kind police officer couldn't do that, so she started calling rescue groups, trying to get someone to take him. My director ended up with him, and when the dog I was fostering got adopted, the director asked me to take Caesar. Silly me! I thought this would be no problem, as my hubby and I weren't the least bit fond of Chihuahuas. My 13 yr. old DD, however, has always wanted a small dog. > > Well, Caesar came in and made himself right at home. He got along with my two lab/mixes (although I'm not quite sure they belive he's a real dog), and became such an instant part of the family, that my hubby said there was no way we could part with him! > To which I replied, "All the nice dogs we've fostered, and you want to keep the crazy one?" > > We officially adopted Caesar on 7/7/07 and we absolutely adore him!
