"So Sheeba, here's the deal," Bradley the red tick hound explains to newcomer, Sheeba the shepard mix. "Page is the one you want to butter up. She's the one who meets with potential families and matches up everyone into their new home. Now my tactic was to act really shy when I first arrived. I knew THIS would get her attention. As a result, Page kept coming over to my pen to say, hi. I can't tell you how exciting it was to have a regular visitor every day. With time, I started to warm up and even let her touch me and then walk me."
"Get out," squealed Sheeba with delight. "You're not shy at all. I mean, you are like my BEST play buddy and we just met! I can't believe you played that trick on Page."
"And so here's the best part. Page has now elevated me to "boyfriend" status," Bradley beams to Sheeba. "I have also earned "best boyfriend" status with a volunteer, so life is really terrific for me. Like you, I was pulled from a high kill shelter when my time was up. Things are awesome here and you will soon figure out how to weasel your way into Page's good graces. Thank goodness we have folks like Page and Mary (who started CFC) to look out for great pets like us. Without them, there would be no US."
