          We adopted Chance 
          (we later named her Violet) on October 28, 2007.  She is a 
          wonderful, wonderful dog and we are so glad that she has come into our 
          lives.  Violet had been brought in to the shelter with another 
          dog (Toutoune) 
          because their Mom was sick and could not have them in the house for 
          health reasons.  Violet was only at the shelter for 2 days before we 
          came along and saw how sweet, beautiful and good-natured she was.  
          We had to have her right away.  Our only regret was that we could not 
          take her brother Toutoune as well but we later found out that Toutoune 
          was adopted out shortly thereafter. 
          
          Our experience at 
          the shelter was great; we went to the SPCA Saturday morning and were 
          able to take Violet home right away.  All of the volunteers there are 
          absolutely fantastic; so much so that I brought 10 girlfriends back 
          last weekend to volunteer and take all of the shelter dogs out for a 
          walk as a group activity (which I would highly recommend as it was 
          very rewarding for all of us).
          
          We want to let 
          Chance’s (Violet’s) previous owner know that she is well-loved and is 
          in a good home where she will get lots of cuddles and walks at the 
          Conroy Pit dog park.  We’ve included a picture of Violet engaged in 
          her favourite activity – sleeping!  :-)
