Q & A
What was the initial challenge Vince, the one-year-old German Shepherd, faced in his adoption journey?

Why did the meet-and-greet with the doberman not work out for Vince?

How did the team from Animal Friends of the Valleys help Vince find a potential home?
-Despite the challenges, the team at Animal Friends of the Valleys did not give up. Lisa from the team took a call from a potential adopter from across the country and, despite the difficulties of out-of-state adoptions, decided to pursue the opportunity.
What was Wende's background with dogs, and how did she become Vince's adopter?
