10. There is one rescue adoption girl aways away in my state.

Found her in a roundabout manner
She's 11.
Someone close to me only mentioned there 'may' be grief some day. Sure, that occurred to me. But I wouldn't let that prevent me from adopting her. My heart wants her, but my head says hold up. Be sure in this serious commitment
She's currently being fostered. The facility shared a short video of her gently taking a slice of pizza toy I sent her n settling on a cushion to play with it. I have great peace that she's being cared for in a home. I told the facility I would like to at least sponsor her for now and they quite welcomed that. She was the first to show up online after a search. I broke down sobbing seeing her sweet smiling face.
