Kaia Coco Lane

We adopted Kaia in July 2007 from Salt Lake County Animal Services. At the time of adoption, we had very little information about her past other than she had a microchip. The shelter had contacted her previous owners and they basically gave up on her and said they couldn't afford to get her out of lock up. This was her 2nd time there, and she just kept running away from them. The shelter wouldn't give me her previous name because they said it might bring back bad memories. If any of you have ever adopted an animal, you might share the same questions and curiousity. Recently, we had a friend who works at the shelter, look up her information. She told me that her previous name was Coco and her birthdate is 4/20/04! She was just over 2 when we adopted her and had already been locked up at least three times. The owners that had her right before us, adopted her from Wasatch Humane Rescue. I really don't understand why somebody would adopt an animal from a rescue group and then just give up on them... but then i forget there are people who give up on everything. Sad. We were really excited to find out this information on her past and know she is so much happier with us! I really think she knows how lucky she is to have Jeff and I for parents. She listens to us, and hasn't ever run away from us, even off leash. We love her and so does Rocky!
