New Home For Tilly

We were finally able to place Tilly with a family. And the entire process was rather unique and suprising.
Yesterday, we found out that the birth mother that had viewed our profile had chosen us. Needless to say we were very excited. And since we had 5 dogs I wanted to touch base with our dog trainer, Christie, on how we could prepare our dogs for the eventual new member of the pack. I told her that we would probably still have Tilly as we really did not have much success in finding a home yet.
Then about 20 minutes after I finished speaking with her I received a call from a lady inquiring about Tilly. She was looking for a dog for her children and went into our vets office to see if they knew of anyone that was looking to find a home for their dog. They mentioned Tilly and she called.
We spoke for a few minutes, mainly my filling her in about Tilly and her past. She was fine with the information and so we scheduled a time for that evening to show her Tilly. We met that evening and they just loved her immediately! I spent some time with the kids having a good few lessons on what they could do to help her adapt to her new home as well as what they should NOT do.
We even took her to her new home and set a time to go by that weekend to follow up on how she was doing and to make sure the environment was working well for her and the new family.
We will definitely miss her tons, but know that it is best for her to get into her forever home. We look forward to doing various follow ups for the near future.
I am sure that we will eventually have another rescue, but for now we are going to focus on getting ready for the arrival of the baby due around January.
