Happy, happy Palm Sunday!
We’re going to ask you to sit back, maybe grab a box of tissue, because we have a uplifting story for you!, but you may shed a tear or two! (You’ve been warned)
Most of you have met Puppy Girl and many know her saga.
In case you need a refresher:
Puppy Girl was raised from a puppy by her mom. They lived in harmony for many years. She was well cared for and very loved!
Puppy Girl’s mom had to move to a rehab facility. Sadly, Puppy Girl has no where to go. At age 11, she was surrendered to the shelter. Not great, but her mom never forgot her.
It was not unusual for Puppy Girl’s mom to visit. She has someone bring her to the shelter,. She would sit in her wheelchair in the yard and love on her girl. Then suddenly her visits stopped.
Puppy Girl became sad and despondent. She lost weight, and many feared she also lost her will to live. She became an “at risk” dog.
Shelter staff phoned us and asked if we would take her into our rescue and see if we could revive her spirit!
Of course we said yes.
With a healthy diet, patience and love, Puppy Girl responded favorably. She gained her weight back, her coat shines, and we discovered she has a funny, spunky personality!
All is wonderful with Puppy Girl, but it gets better!
We received a message last week from a social worker, asking us if we had Puppy Girl. We said we did
Apparently, they’d been searching for her for some time. Her mom has been asking about her and wanted to see her!
Yesterday, Puppy Girl had a bath and donned her best super girl cape. She and our owner, Leslie made the trip over to the facility where her mom is staying for a happy reunion after 9 months of separation!
Everyone was thrilled! Mom and her baby had a wonderful visit!
Yes, these visits will continue because they love each other so much! We can’t keep them apart!
We’re happy to get to be a part of their journey, and we’re excited to share it with you!
