My match could not have picked a better gift. I was so touched by the obvious thought they put into this gift.

My match sent me Flat Bonnie (flatbonnie.com). Flat Bonnie is a stuffed animal that raises awareness for abandoned animals and some of the proceeds are donated to helping rescue organizations.

I just recently rescued a puppy from an animal shelter. Her name is Jade and she is a Welsh Springer Spaniel. When I got her I knew she was in rough shape. She had what appeared to be kennel cough, she was covered in ticks, she had scabs all over her body, she had already had puppies (she's only a year old) and from what I was told she spent most of her life in a shelter. Our first vet visit I was told she had Lyme's disease, Anaplasmosis and pneumonia. Then our most recent vet visit, they discovered a pellet from a pellet gun in her leg, meaning someone had shot her.

She is an amazing dog and she could not be sweeter. I feel so lucky to have found her. After everything she has been through she is still a loyal and loving dog.

She hasn't really shown interest in toys but she LOVES flat bonnie and playing with her. I think she knows how important flat bonnie's message is :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my match for this AMAZING gift.
