Kelley: 8/1 - Hello

Hi.  My name is Kells Santa Fe or at least that is what I have been called until a few days ago.  This is the story of how my name changed.

I was born on 9/3/2013 and I think I was the most handsome pup in the litter.  My training went well and I started racing in August of 2015.  I was not a champion, but I did win a couple of races.  Then BAM! I broke my leg.  I don't really remember how it happened.  All I know is that I couldn't run like I wanted to.  The nice people set my leg and I began my long recovery process.  Once I was all healed, I enjoyed being in what they called the "adoption kennel."  I am not sure what that was, but I didn't race anymore and I was well taken care of.  

Then one night, they loaded me and a lot of friends from the kennel into a truck and we took a long trip.  It was a little crowded, but it was OK.  Then we stopped and the door opened and there were a lot of people waiting to take care of me.  They walked me and I finally got to pee on grass.  After the long ride, that was really nice.  Then we got into smaller vehicles and we took another trip.  This time I had plenty of room and I even got to sleep some.  Then we stopped and nice people took me and feed me, bathed me, check me over and even took picture of me.  I am sure the pictures were because I am so handsome.  This is when my name changed.  Some suggestions were Santa, Fefe, Kells and Bubba.  Boy was I scared.  I wanted a great name to match my personality.  They finally decided on Kelley and I liked that a lot.  Then believe it or not, they put me into another vehicle and I went to what they called a foster home.  

If this is a foster home, I really like being in a foster home.  There is a lady here who loves on me and talks to me and gives me lots of water and yummy food.  Best of all, I have lots of soft beds to lie on and take my naps.  I have a foster sister (Missy) and a foster brother (Earl) and they are pretty nice to me.  They have shown me the ropes and I felt at home really quickly.  I like running in the back yard, but I still can't run like I used to.  However, I am still pretty fast.


Thanks for reading about me.  I am a really special, handsome guy.  If you are interested in making me a part of your family, just contact the folks at GEGR.  You won't be sorry.
