Hi Everyone -
My name is Maury, but you might remember me as Apache. I was adopted in February 2008. My parents met me at an adoption fair at South Park Mall and they fell in love with me right away. But, my mom and dad decided to go home and think about it for the night (adopting a dog is a big responsibility, you know!). And, guess what, I got adopted by someone else! As you can imagine, my mom and dad were very sad.

They were even looking for me the next day at Freedom Park hoping my adopted parents brought me there to play. Well, you can imagine their surprise when I showed up on the CharMeck Adoption website again a few days later. My mom said that it was a sign and they came and got me right away. They didn't even care that my previous adopters said I was "excitable". They knew I was just a puppy and was in need of a little training and a lot of TLC.

Well, that's exactly what I got. And let me tell you, my mom and dad think I am the best dog ever. I love to go on long walks and runs, wrestle with my friends at the park, and play tug-of-war with my dad. I also love chasing squirrels and rabbits. I know I would have caught one by now if my dad would just let me
I am also really good at tearing up my toys (even the ones that claim that they are indestructible), but I never ever chew on anything I'm not supposed to. I even graduated from intermediate obedience classes - and my parents want to sign me up for agility training, too! They say that I am very smart and think it will be good parent-son bonding time. Oh, did I mention that my parents moved to Chicago last summer? I wasn't so sure if I'd like the cold weather, but I love it. I do have to wear a jacket if the temperature is below zero. But, a lot of my doggie friends wear them, too, so it's ok!

My parents also saved my cousin Savanna from an animal control shelter in Illinois. My mom saw her on a pet adoption website and she looked just like me. My mom and dad knew they couldn't leave my "twin" at a kill-shelter and luckily, my uncle said he would take her. Now, Savanna lives on a farm with my uncle in Ohio and she is a very happy girl! And, I love going to visit her whenever I can!

I am just so lucky to have met my parents at the mall that day (dad says all of mom's favorite things are from the mall!) and they say that they are even luckier to have met me! We are one happy family, that's for sure!
Thank you so much for caring for me last year and for taking me to that adoption fair with you. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate everything you do for guys like me
Oh, and my parents say thank you, too!
Love, Maury Apache Luvtachewsky Bales
