The story of how Chase changed our lives in 24 hours

Our family has been wanting to add another furry member for a while. We all had it in our minds that we would love a Siberian Husky. To look into those beautiful blue eyes every day would be magical! Something told me to take a look at the Nebraska Humane Society website and there he was: Rowdy, a 1 1/2 year old Siberian Husky. I felt a connection to him already even though I was only looking at him on a computer screen.

I immediately sent the information to my husband Wade and asked him to go over to the Humane Society to see if he was still there and to check him out. He called me to tell me he was there and he had immediately connected with Rowdy. I decided to check him out myself so I took my lunch break and headed over. I walked into the getting acquainted room and Rowdy immediately picked up his ball from the floor and brought it over to me, sat down and placed it in my lap to play fetch. I was hooked!

We decided to adopt Rowdy and brought him home to meet our children Joshua (13) and Kayla (10). We let the kids rename Rowdy since he wasn't a Rowdy at all. He is calm, laid-back, well-behaved and as sweet as can be. Kayla decided on the name Chase and we all agreed that was a good name.

We took Chase to our vet yesterday and he said he is a GREAT dog! Healthy as can be and a perfect fit for our family. After the vet appointment we took him to PetSmart to pick out some new toys, food, a new collar, leash, and name tag, as well as a few other items. He walked around the store without pulling and never barked at any other animal. He held his head up high and pranced around like he was king of the world!

We do have a 3-year-old cat named Koko who loves dogs - I know how unique that is right? Koko and Chase are very curious with each other and rub noses and check each other out. Then Chase wants to play and starts chasing Koko which she participates in for a few minutes before running under our bed. I have no doubt they will be great friends after they have adjusted to each other. Even though it has been less than 24 hours since Chase joined our family, we all have fallen in love with him and feel like he's been a part of our family for years. He adapted to our home with no issues, ate his dog food (a true sign of being comfortable), played ball and Frisbee in the back yard, gave lots of kisses to each of us and had a great night sleep.

Our son even created an Instragram account for Chase! 

Thank you to everyone at the Nebraska Humane Society for being so kind to Chase during his stay with you and allowing us to adopt an amazing dog which has brought a ray of sunshine into our lives.

Sincerely,
Becky Davenport (and Wade, Joshua and Kayla)
