Dani's Story
We got Dani at nine weeks old from Robinson Hollow Rescue in West Virginia. I never would have found them on my own, but one day I received a text from my daughter's college roommate. "Mrs. Merklin, you have to go look at this website." She had just adopted a puppy from them.
I looked at the website and there was a nine-week-old Maltese puppy. The shelter had already had her for a week, so she was probably separated from her mother and littermates way too young.
I thought what the heck, I can fill out an application, but they must get hundreds of them and I will never own this dog. Because I had used my daughter's roommate as a reference, my name shot to the top of the list and two days later we got the call. The two-pound Maltese pup was ours if we wanted her!
