Happy, a 14-year-old husky, had spent most of his life in the shelter, but Angela Boisseau gave him a chance and adopted him.
After losing her beloved dog to cancer, Angela Boisseau said she would never get another dog.
"We had Blitzen for over 10 years and it just hurt too much to say goodbye after all those years," Boisseau, a resident in Southaven, Mississippi, told FOX Television Stations. "Most people want puppies, and seniors end up spending the rest of their lives in shelters and that saddened me," she continued.
"My heart broke for Happy and I immediately emailed the shelter and asked if Happy's biography was wrong," Boisseau continued, adding that Happy looked so much like her late dog Blitzen that they could easily be siblings. So, after spending more than 10 years at Sunny Meadows – Happy finally found his forever home.
"As soon as I laid eyes on Happy, I cried," she shared, noting that he initially did not seem interested in meeting her and her husband."He did not run up and start loving us. He could not care less. When I saw how disinterested Happy was in meeting us, I thought I understood why. He lived at Sunny Meadows 86% of his life and I can only imagine how many times he met families who ended up saying, ‘No, thank you,’ and he would be returned to his kennel.
"Happy is finally home now. He went from a 6-foot x 3-foot kennel to a real house to call his own. He went from a concrete floor to a carpet. He has not just one but two pillows. And, most of all, Happy has love - real love," she added.RELATED:"If I take a step forward, Happy takes a step forward. If I turn left, Happy turns left. If I take a step backward, so does Happy, she said.
