She Named Her Hope

She scheduled a tour with a counselor who would guide her through the selection process. At the very end of a long hallway, cowering in the farthest corner, she noticed a pair of big brown eyes staring back at her, pleading with her to be seen.

The moment their eyes met, their hearts connected, and she knew this little four-legged ball of fur was hers. She named her Hope.
