Here is an update on Presley, adopted in 2022:

As a former resident of McCall now living in the Atlanta, GA area, MCPAWS has always been special to me but I never had adopted a dog from there, although on my Bucket List for years. In November 2022 while on the phone with a McCall friend, she happened to mention that she thought there was a “small dog” at MCPAWS. I immediately checked the website and there he was…Presley, a 10 year old, 4 & 1/2 lb Chihuahua. He was the perfect package as I only adopt senior, very small dogs. With two Chihuahuas, a Jack Russell terrier, and a Pomeranian already in our household, Presley would fit right in.

I flew out to Boise at the end of November to pick him up. Kristi Caseri (formerly with MCPAWS) and her husband were kind enough to drive him on snowy roads from McCall to Boise for me. Presley settled into our hotel room for the night and was the perfect passenger on the flight back to Atlanta, sleeping the whole way. Once home, he was immediately welcomed into the pack and happily exploring my large backyard.

Presley is enjoying the good life including the more temperate climate. He has gained weight with twice daily yummy meals and so enjoys “snack time” as well as his heating pad and daily walks in a pet stroller with Abby, my other tiny Chihuahua. Together they stay on high alert for any “perceived danger”. And I finally have my “MCPAWS dog”… a Happy Ending for both of us.  ~Linda Conley
