Endwell?! Yes, it did....


There are sometimes in dog rescue when you just know it's right and there had to be some sort of divine intervention because really there can be no other explanation.  Get this....

I was contacted by a woman on my blog Friday night, stating that she was interested in adopting Blue and had sent an adoption application in for him.  I was excited by this, and I immediately called TSCR and let them know to be on the look out for her application.  They assured me that they had already received the application and that it looked great, and it was just pending a veterinary reference.  The woman was from upstate New York, and I kicked myself.  (We were just there 2  weekends ago, and could have transported Blue to his new home!)  I figured this would not work out for quite awhile, because we would have to wait for his new owner to pick him up, etc...  

The potential adopter and I spoke, and she said to me:  "I truly think Blue is meant for me.  My beloved Logan passed away several months ago, and I had been looking for a dog for quite awhile but had given up.  Then I was looking at Tri State Collie Rescue's website and came across Blue and it made me stop.  There was just something about his face that spoke to me.  I thought he might be the dog for me, but still I waited.  I debated back and forth on whether I should fill out the application to adopt him, and that is when I stumbled across your blog on accident while researching gardening and realized that the dog named Blue that you were writing about, and the dog named Blue that had captured my heart on the rescue website were the same dog!  And I knew he was meant to be mine!  And do you want to hear something even more weird?!  I used to live in Troy, Ohio (Which is my hometown and one town over from where I live now...) and I know where Tipp City is!"    I had goosebumps.  What is the probability that this woman would fall in love with a dog off a website and then find my blog out of the millions of blogs that are out there and the same dog be living with me?!  Divine intervention that's all I can say....

It turns out that the woman was visiting her son for the weekend, and he lives only 30 minutes away from me, and she really wanted to meet Blue.  Luckily for her, I was able to contact the rescue director and we were able to complete the vet reference (which came back glowing!), and when she came to meet Blue, she was actually able to take him home!  This process was so smooth, it was just meant to be.  And the final sign?  She was taking Blue home to:  Endwell, New York. 

Who doesn't love a story that "Ends Well"....
