We adopted our first puppy when I was 7 years old and my life was changed forever. My golden retriever puppy changed my whole life for the better. Taking care of my love bug gave my little life so much purpose. When I was 11, my baby Kiwi (corgi) came into my life. She was the whole world to me. Such a weird little dog. She passed away last year and I’ve missed her dearly. I tried fostering but wasn’t able to afford it. Trying to save up for my own place with my husband.
