As a tribute to the dogs and the generous families who adopted them, we have gathered "happy ending" stories describing how a rescued Dalmatian fit in to (or changed!) adopters' lives. These wonderful stories are our reward for the hard work all of our members do. Those dogs listed are only a small number of dogs actually placed. Click on a dog's name or picture to read about their rescue and their new life! Enjoy these wonderful stories!!

I adopted your pet today...

I adopted your pet today...
The one you left at the pound;
The one you had for ten years
And no longer wanted around.

I adopted your pet today...
Did you know that he's lost weight?
Did you know he's scared and depressed
And seems to have lost all faith?

I adopted your pet today...
He had fleas and a little cold;
Guess you don't care what shape he's in
You abandoned him I am told.

I adopted your pet today...
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies,
Or was there NO reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your pet today...
He doesn't play or even eat much;
I guess he's very sad inside and
It'll take time for him to trust.

I adopted your pet today...
And here he is going to stay;
He's found his FOREVER home
And a warm bed in which to lay.

I adopted your pet today...
And shall give him all that he will need
- Patience, love, and security,
So he can forget your selfish deed.
