								<p>'Shorty' is just one of 17 dogs that the Roice-Hurst Humane Society brought to the Grand Valley following Hurricane Harvey. The goal was to put dogs in good homes.</p>
															<p>Shorty is the first dog in the group that found its home.</p>
																							<p>The first dog has now found it from that group. He was only up for adoption for about a day until James Moran came in and immediately knew they'd be a perfect fit. </p>
																							<p>Moran lives in a quiet neighborhood and used to living a simple life, but that could change a little. </p>
																							<p>"Oh, he's got more energy than you can imagine," Moran said.</p>
																							<p>That won't be a problem for Moran. </p>
																							<p>"I know how to handle a dog, you know," he said.</p>
																							<p>Moran is looking for a little companionship. He lives alone after his wife suffered a stroke five years ago. She now lives in a group home.</p>
																							<p>"It gets lonely," he said.</p>
																							<p>As for Shorty, he's already making himself quite at home.</p>
																							<p>"It's amazing to think two months ago this dog was in one of the most precarious situations you can imagine," said Anna Stout, the executive director of Roice-Hurst. "Now he's sleeping in a kennel really happily and a warm place and love with everything else."</p>

																			<p>"The moment he saw me, he came running at me. Jumped up and was like, 'Hi, how you are and how are you doing', so it was cool and I said 'I want that dog'," said Moran.</p>
																							<p>Knowing what Shorty has gone through only strengthened their bond.</p>
																							<p>"It did, it really did. Then I understand what he's been through so that helps when we try to train him," Moran said.</p>
																							<p>On the eve of Thanksgiving, both man and his best friend have something extra to be thankful for.</p>
																							<p>"He knows he's got a buddy," Moran said.</p>
																							<p>Moran said shorty is afraid of loud noises, but he said that's understandable since he went through a hurricane.<br/></p>
