So, this guy joined our family over the weekend. He couldn’t be sweeter and we are all in love.
I was trolling for a puppy for a couple of weeks as a surprise for the boys and checked the Salem Shelter and our own Cape Ann Animal Aid daily.
As a matter of timing, Minnow came from The Northeast Animal Shelter.
The first night that we had him we took a late night trip to Petco and were happy to bump into an adorable pup that had just been adopted from the Cape Ann Shelter! They shared a quick meeting of the minds before we headed for home.
Please, please visit and support our local shelters.

Congratulations to your family and the pup. I’m looking forward to reading about his adventures. And of course, seeingthem documented in photos.

Congratulations on your new family member! My dog was a shelter dog (very sweet, best dog in the whole world) and both of my cats were shelter kitties. I’m sure you will have many adventures with Minnow!
