Rye

Rye (TN, in red collar) has selected her forever home with the Suarez family.  And her foster mom, Mariah, couldn’t be happier with her choice.  
 
From Mariah, “I am overjoyed with Rye starting her new life today! From the moment I met Rye’s prospective adopters, I instantly knew, this is her forever family. When I began the process of finding this little girl a home, I couldn’t help but worry. I asked myself questions like: Would I find a family that would take care of her like I do? Would they understand her personality and her habits? Would they love her unconditionally and spoil her forever? Thankfully, my helicopter dog mom brain (yep, I’m one of those), didn’t have to worry long. I knew in my heart, after our first video chat, that Maria, Sarah, and their GSP, Miranda, would be Rye’s family. 
 
The entire fostering process has been an incredible experience. Through the ups and downs, some sleepless nights, a few shredded toys (RIP Mr. Octopus), and lots of snuggles made it all worth it. At the beginning of fostering, I thought I was helping this little girl find a new and better life. But at the end, Rye also gave that to me. She taught me patience, gentleness, and compassion. Most of all, she showed me how the simple gesture of love and safety can change the trajectory for an animal forever. I’m so grateful to have been a small blip on Rye’s new life. Thank you SEGSP for allowing me to have this opportunity and for being such an amazing organization and thank you to Maria, Sarah and Miranda for giving Rye her new life. ”
 
Mariah, you summed this up beautifully!   We are so grateful for fosters like you and love how you shared your experience.  And we are truly grateful to the Suarez family for loving Rye (and for making her a new Tampa fan)! Congrats to all!
