Early to rise was this little girl . . . she ate quickly, and ran out to potty. This was her big day. She would see if her furever who had been waiting forever would really like her. Her potential mom and foster mom had become almost related as they had sent messages and pictures for over a month predicting the anticipated date of when she could finally leave foster and take a gander at furever. Awaiting surgery due to low albumin then awaiting a biopsy on the mammary gland tumor to finally reveal it was benign had prolonged this day far too long. Now it was finally here. A two hour ride to destination furever was right outside that garage door, and away she went.

Upon arrival, Chapa met the sweetest lady, who had the nicest husband, and they had a little boy pup, not much larger than she, named Snowball. Chapa immediately took to the home, inspecting her territory, getting used to all the big rooms where she could just take off running. A huge deck was off the back of the home opened to a yard that was a sea of green grass surrounded by a beautiful privacy fence. Back inside and down the stairs, she discovered a room almost as big as the back yard where she and Snowball instantly began to run, play and explore.

When Foster Mom asked if she could stay, Mom said "She's captured our hearts", and in a New York minute, papers were signed, goodbye kisses exchanged, and Chapa's furever became a reality.
