Arrival Story: Kelly came to us on Christmas Eve. She was about a year old. We figured there was no way we could keep her a surprise until Christmas morning, so we had the kids close their eyes, and we placed her on their laps. Kelly covered them in kisses. Years later, the kids still say Kelly was their best Christmas gift ever.
Rescue Organization (if rescue): New York Cockers Rescue
