Each week, Petfinder.com gives you poignant stories of people who have given loving forever homes to shelter pets – and found their own lives enriched as a result. Written by Joan Banks, author of Petfinder.com Presents: Second Chances – Inspiring Stories of Dog Adoption, each Happy Tail describes how these folks found their pets online, the sometimes amazing lengths to which they went to bring their new best friends home, and the ways in which both the humans' and the pets' lives were transformed.
