the Hunt # 9

 The Hunt for Fido is over.  Well, almost.  Saturday evening I signed a "Foster to Adoption" contract with a rescue group called "Match Made in Heaven Animal Rescue".   It is a volunteer-run organization that rescues dogs and cats from Central California shelters and brings them up Oregon to find forever homes for them.  

    This little guy showed up on their site under the name Romeo.  He's a Yorkie / Terrier mix.  So the conversation began.  An application was filled out online.  A telephone interview was next.  We have had home visits before, when we adopted each Greyhound.  The home visit for" MMinH" was done on a Zoom call.   I had spent a previous afternoon fastening patches to cover potential escape spots in our fence, so our backyard passed inspection.. 
    That brought us to Saturday evening.  A printed, signed, and scanned document made the transaction official.  He will be coming up from California on Saturday.  We should get him Saturday evening.  

    Randa wanted to change his name.  After a day of looking at boy names online we decided on "Nigel".  We had considered adopting a Doberman named Nigel several years ago and the name stuck with us.  Besides Nigel has the same coloring of that big Nigel.  I did research on the name; Nigel in Irish and English history means "Champion"  In Latin, Black or Dark.

    So Nigel will be our Black Champion !!!
