Adoption of Rescue German Shepherd Dog from NWTSPCA Shelter

- My beloved Tika (14.5yr GSD) crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 28/21; she is my soul dog! (See her 2-part heartwarming and inspirational story at the link below).
As part of my grief journey, I began volunteer walking dogs at the NWTSPCA shelter in Yellowknife. I loved it! Seeing how happy the dogs were to go out for some fresh air and explore and interact with you, this just warmed my heart! This was great therapy! I had so much love to give, and I knew Tika had guided me to the shelter. These dogs need love. And although I wasn't ready to bring another dog into my life yet, spending time with the dogs (and petsitting) was the next best thing!
I also began to bring dogs home for week-end sleepovers. I loved spending time with them, learning about their personalities, and just simply giving them love.
In July 2022, I spotted Hiccup right away. (Any German Shepherd grabs my attention!) A small, GSD/husky cross; she is almost 8 years old (many people think she's much younger!) She was curled up in her kennel and looked so scared and lonely. I wanted to visit with her!
We went on our 1st walk on July 23, and then the next week-end (and a couple more following), I brought her home for week-end visits. After the first sleepover, I had created a promotional video for her that I was going to post on facebook to help her find her FUREVER home... and then I decided not to post it because I didn't really want someone to adopt her ....I was surprised at this feeling...and little did I know, it was because Hiccup was stealing my heart!
I brought Hiccup home for 3 weeks (I was pretty sure I knew where this was going...), and on September 9, 2022, Hiccup and I became a family!
I know that Tika set this up for her Mommy! I felt so lost after she passed away. When Hiccup came into my life, I found purpose again; life all of a sudden became so much more than it was. Tika fills my heart everyday. And now Hiccup shares that special place with her.
I am so happy to be a dog Mom again!

Congratulations ❤❤
❤god bless you
Beautiful! Thank you, it makes me realize that there is enough room in my heart to love again, and to provide a great home for another dog in need. (:
Absolutely! When our heart is hurting, it is usually because you haven't found a place/outlet to channel your love. And if you had a pet before and put everything into him/her, you still have that love, it is meant to be given, not held on to. It never runs out, it just runs down (if you don't energize it and put it to use)... And once you do (even if just taking baby steps, like I did with walking dogs from the shelter, or bringing one home from time to time to give them a break from the kennels), your heart begins to pour that love into what you do, who you share your time with, etc... You will always have room in your heart to love.... You were made to love and to keep giving that love:)
You look very healthy and happy!
Tika loved the time that you had. Pets are visitors who come in our lives. Enjoy your time with them. 😊😢❤❤
A lovely dog

God bless Tika!
This was a very hearwarming and emotional video. I feel you've been blessed by Tika and will continue to feel and share he love with Hiccup. I'm so happy for you!
Absolutely! I am so blessed and grateful for all that has come into my life; Tika has been an amazing teacher and guide. She is Hiccup's "big (Angel) sister", and I include her in my daily life... I even talk to Hiccup about Tika! Hiccup lets me love her so much and she brings me great happiness and joy. I can't imagine life without dogs!
