A month ago, I adopted this ~4 year old Cocker Spaniel from Richardson Rescue. At the time of adoption her name was "Clue," but she didn't know it. She wasn't potty trained, and had no idea what to do with a toy or a treat. This is a picture of her today, with a real name she knows and responds to: Clementine. She responds promptly to her name, goes potty outside, knows words such as "no" and "walk," and snuggles in bed with me until we both fall asleep each night. She has made such a wonderful addition to my life, and I couldn't be more grateful to have her, or to Richardson Rescue for helping us find each other

I made this collage to post on my page, but figured i'd share here, too! The picture in the top left is from the day I met Clementine (formerly named Clue) at Richardson Rescue, and I knew from the moment she jumped up into my lap and didn't want to leave it that she was the dog for me. When she first came home she wasn't potty trained, knew no words/commands (including her former name), and was very scared of everyone except for me. Now she knows to potty outside, understands her name as well as many other commands, and is much more comfortable in the home environment. This old girl is my best friend, and I couldn't be more grateful to the rescue for helping us find each other. Merry Christmas
