FINN

November of 2023 was a time of challenge and loss for the Haller family that soon got a miracle in Rumor. They had moved to a new state 3000 miles from their home less than a year earlier and their OES of many years crossed the bridge at 13 years of age. They had a new home, a pantry of treats, countless toys and a fenced in yard, but no furry friend to share them with.

Together, they began to scour the internet for a furry friend. They had a few conditions that this friend would have to meet: he would have to need them at least as much as they needed him, had to be between 1-3 years old and be fairly large.

Pages were searched and forms were completed and within a week they heard a Rumor. Perhaps, more accurately, we heard of Rumor, an OES who was approximately 1 1/2 years old and found on the streets of El Paso TX. He needed a home with a fence and someone to love. This was a perfect fit. Within a few days, this 65-pound ball of fluff was no longer a Rumor, he was now a reality and they called him Finn. They called him and he happily responded. So it was meant to be.

Finn is a part of their family and continues to thrive. He is their happy boy who loves to jump and play, and he will do just about anything for a treat. He is a Velcro dog if there ever was one. (Truly sounds like a match made in Heaven!)

The Haller's believe wholeheartedly that miracles just don’t happen, they are fueled by charitable love and service. And it's this that brings them to mention all the angelic helpers along the way who did their due diligence to bring about their miracle and they send the biggest thanks to each and everyone of them.

What a wonderful network of humans who cared enough to talk through all the things that needed to be said, the plans that needed to be made and the countless tasks that had to be done all to secure a holiday miracle. If this isn't a love story, we don't know what is!
