Hi!  My name is T.G. (short for “Thanksgiving”) because my family and I are very thankful to be together!  I was adopted on Thanksgiving at an animal shelter, where I was rescued from an abusive home.  I was a real sad sack -- dirty, hungry, just a mess!  But I just smiled and hugged everyone anyway.

Now I'm 6 years old and a very happy fellow. I am very grateful to Caring Canines for letting me give back to others who might need some company and cheering up, too!

At home, I like to run around and herd everyone together, just to make sure they are okay (Australian Shepherds like me are bred by farmers for cattle and sheep herding.) One of my best buddies is my little white cat, “Faithful”, who likes to rub against my legs, lick my nose, and sleep curled up on my back or under my chin.  I just wish she knew how to play like a dog!
