To our Founder extraordinaire, Adama- Happy Birthday! 🥳🎉🎂
If you know Adama, or have even had a brief encounter with her, you know how amazing she is. It’s very had to encapsulate her in a single post!
We had our volunteers all send some words to describe her, and these were just *some* of them:
Resilient
Grit
Determined
Loving
Honest
Passionate
Compassionate
Understanding
Empathetic
Tough
Maternal
Community
Welcoming
Proactive
Family
Inclusive
Friendship
Supportive
Inspiring
Tenacity
Resourceful
Empowering
Transparent
Relatable
Genuine
Strong
Admirable
Consistent
Accountable
Real
….All of us had one word in common that we all used: SELFLESS.
There truly is no better word to describe her.
Adama loves her family, friends, and community with every fiber of her being. She shows it constantly in everything she does. She works harder than anyone, for everyone, and never stops. She is the first person to do the hardest job, take on the most impossible task, and make miracles happen.
She has saved not only thousands of animals (all the way from Baghdad, remember Newton?!) but has also given a lot of humans a new start and opportunities to better their lives.
There are so many things behind the scenes that are never posted. She has LITERALLY put out fires before (true story- on the I10 during a dog food transport 💪)!
Adama, we love you so much! You are our hero, our inspiration, and someone we are all grateful to call a friend. Thank you for building this shelter and crazy rescue family and letting us come along for the ride. WE LOVE YOU!
HAPPY 40TH 🥳🎉🎂
XO,
Your DT Family
