Please help us find Wanda a forever family!
Meet Wanda, now one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever met. She loves all humans and dogs she meets!
She’s very polite and comfortably crate trained, potty trained, and good on a leash after her excitement for new smells subsides. She is smart and eager to learn. She would love to go through a training class with someone she loves, so that great habits can solidify. But most of all, this girl who’s never had much at all would love to be babied and treated as though she is the most special girl in the whole world.
Now we NEED your shares and help to find her the forever home she almost never got to have. Colorado homes only, we know her dream-come-true human is out here somewhere just waiting to meet their new lifelong friend.
An advocate for shelter dogs in an underserved NM town reached out about this incredibly beautiful and sweet mama dog and her puppies who were on the euthanasia list that week. Even with rescues being overwhelmed right now and too few fosters and adopters, we was sure someone would help them.
Side note: in the rescue community, there is an unwritten code…if you take someone’s puppies, you NEVER leave mama behind. Yes, adult dogs have a hard time finding rescue and those babies are her ticket out. Leaving a mama dog behind is ludicrous.
So imagine our surprise to hear that another rescue grabbed her babies but left mama to die, with virtually no chance of rescue due to her breed and age (adult mutt). She loved those babies with her life, and now might not have her own.
with the help of Broken Shovels we were able to save her in the last hour before euthanasia. Yes, adult dogs die in crowded shelters every day, but to rob this girl of her babies and all hope was too much. She deserved a second chance, and was in this dire condition by no fault of her own.
