I am pleased to say that I am officially the proud mother of the year-and-a-half old hound named Carolina!

Yesterday, the adoption was finalized at the Monmouth County SPCA. Jill, the woman who helped me to find my perfect match, helped through every step of the way and I could not be more grateful.

The first night was definitely a success. We ate, we laughed, we played, we walked, and most importantly, we snuggled!

I cannot say this enough! If you are looking for your own furry friend....ADOPT DON'T SHOP! There are SO many animals that are looking for a forever home and you will feel fantastic when the moment finally comes.

Take a look at MonmouthCountySPCA.org for more information and pets available for adoption!
