Be My Hero
TaraYou may have noticed a certain beagle mix and shephard mix that appear in my weekend snippets and even my wedding recaps... I am crazy about my pups. My love for animals has lead me to become an advocate for animal adoption and a supporter of organizations that strive to help homeless animals. Generally, I keep the content pretty light on In This Instance but I feel so passionate about helping homeless animals that when I saw the post on The Martha Blog on Be My Hero I really needed to share this MSL initiative with you all.
Of course when I start thinking about adopting animals it makes me all nostalgic - it is just over 7 years ago that Dan and I adopted our little beagle mix, Shelby, from a shelter and 6.5 years since we adopted our Australian shephard mix, Eddie. They have brought so much joy to our lives that I can't imagine that they were once left in a box along the road (that was Shelby's story). Here are few photos from when we first got them...
So if you are thinking about adding a dog or cat to your family, shelters are great places to include in your search for that addition to the family.

What cuties! And what a great cause.
They're so precious!
I could go on about this forever, but we rescued our dog from a shelter and he has been the biggest blessing in my life. He was badly neglected, fearful, and generally awful with people at first. To see how far he's come makes my heart swell. I was terrified of dogs before we got him, so we've both helped each other out a lot in terms of what unconditional love can do. Ok, enough with the mushy stuff... Be My Hero looks like a great cause, thanks for sharing Tara!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
