When a local college student found a stray puppy wandering the streets, she took the puppy to Pine Bluff Animal Control. As much as she wanted to help care for the puppy herself, she lived in a dorm and was not permitted to have an animal on the property. 🐶
Just as the shelter staff was discussing alternative options on where the puppy could go, a local patron showed up to drop off a bag of dog food to donate. After hearing the finder's dilemma, she immediately offered to foster the puppy for the next few weeks. She didn’t even blink an eye; she just volunteered to help. Now the puppy would not even have to enter a shelter environment! 🙌
As if that was not exciting enough, less than an hour after the puppy left with her new foster mom, the shelter received a call that one of the foster's clients was interested in adopting! And just for an added bonus: The puppy's finder signed up to volunteer with the shelter that helped her out! 🎉
These moments, this chain of events, are what it’s all about. This is what the saying "it takes a village" means! 👏 -katheryn
