That woke up Ace. He leaped to his feet, barking and wagging his tail and doing his own happy dance. Pepper barked, too.

“You said it,” Janey told both dogs with a giggle. “Now it really is another happily ever after for the Pet Rescue Club!”

THE END

The Right Dog for the Right Home

There are lots of dog breeds out there—and countless adorable mixed breed dogs as well. It can be tempting to choose the cutest dog, or the friendliest, or one that reminds you of a dog from TV or the movies. But it's important to make sure the dog you adopt fits your personality and lifestyle. Do you spend a lot of time outdoors, or prefer quieter pastimes? Do you live in the country or the city? Do you like to keep your house spotless, or will a little—or a lot—of dog hair not bother you? Are you confident enough to handle a dominant breed, or do you
prefer someone sweet and easygoing?

All of these questions and more are important to consider. Talk to your local shelter workers about finding the right match, or check out the many resources online to help narrow it down.

Good luck finding your perfect pooch—and your happily ever after!

Meet the Real Maxi!

Maxi, the mastiff who was too big to run, was inspired by a real-life animal rescue story. A mastiff named Millie was given to a mastiff rescue group when she was only two years old. Her knees were injured, just like Maxi's, but a caring new owner adopted her and got her the surgery and care she needed to become healthy again. After that, Millie became a certified therapy dog—just like Maxi!
