My 14 year old Papillon rescue was very ill and passed away; my heart was broken. I knew I had to rescue again after several months passed, one door closes and another door opens, so they say. I searched and searched, but my heart was still broken. Then I happened upon one little guy who had been in rescue group for a year due to heartworm when multiple pups were rescued from hoarders & puppy mills. I checked on him for a month or two and then my heart began to heal, so I contacted the rescue group, talked often with the foster mom, and we finally were ready to meet. It was love at first sight for me, he was a petrified little boy for 6-8 months more, but he learned to trust me and we are inseparable now going on 6 1/2 years! He is the sweetest little Papillon you will ever meet and kind and gentle, still somewhat fearful of things, but he knows I am his protector and I try to spend all the time I have with him. We have a superglue bond now and he makes me happy each and every day. He saved me more than I saved him! I am so happy we found each other.
