WILSON

WILSON'S OWNERS TURNED HIM INTO LAKE ELSINORE ANIMAL FRIENDS. THE SHELTER LABELED HIM AS VICIOUS AND WAS GOING TO PUT HIM DOWN. WHEN ARK FOUND HIM, IT WAS ACTUALLY MIKE THAT FOUND HIM AND THOUGHT YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING HOW A TEN POUND DOG COULD BE VICIOUS. SO THEY TOOK A CHANCE ON HIM. WILSON BECAME MY FIRST FOSTER DOG. I ALREADY HAD FOUR DOGS AND PROMISED MY HUSBAND I WOULD NOT KEEP HIM. WELL A FEW WEEKS WENT BY AND HE HAD NOT BEEN ADOPTED. THEN ARK TOOK HIM TO A SMALL DOG SHOW. I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO LET HIM GO. I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE ELSE WOULD GET THE “VICIOUS” LITTLE DOG I HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. AFTER A FEW DENIED ADOPTIONS AND A LOT OF BEGGING, PLEEDING AND BARGAINING WITH MY HUSBAND HE FINALLY GAVE IN AND LET ME ADOPT HIM. THE DEAL WAS HE PICKS THE NAME AND I BUY THE GUN. SO MY LITTLE WILSON IS NAMED AFTER THE WILSON COMBAT 1911 HAND GUN. IT KILLS ME TO KNOW THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID HE WAS “VICIOUS” AND HE ISN’T. HE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY I LOVE FOSTERING AND BELIEVE SO STRONGLY IN ADOPTING.
