They were the most beautiful colors’ July 30, 2025
“We adopted Gypsy, our beautiful one-eyed husky (NHS Connecticut) in November 2021.
We had been eyeing this beautiful girl for some time (no pun intended.) We had said that once our senior cat crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we would consider a dog this time. We wanted to also give a hard to place animal a “forever home,” and the best life it deserves.
That’s when we saw “Connecticut” on the NHS website sporting an awesome smile and a permanent wink! We reached out to NHS and found out she was listed as a ‘Diamond Dog.’ That didn’t stop our pursuit.
We made our appointment and went to meet her. She came in the visitation room and walked right past me and climbed onto my wife’s lap to put her paws around her shoulders… That was good enough for us. We said “let’s do this!”
It took her over a year for her to come out of her shell and show her true colors.
They were the most beautiful colors.
Since having her, she has been to Canada, gone Kayaking, hiking, boating on the lake… (she LOVES the splashing of waves!), sleeps in bed with us and goes absolutely everywhere with us in the truck where she gets to hang out the window regardless of the temperature!
She is everything to us and it is easy to say… she has given us more in smiles, laughter, and love than we could ever give her back. She has taught us patience, compassion, and what unconditional love looks like. Be kind, they give us so much and you’re their everything!”
