It’s that time of year, when we hope for and often receive minor miracles.
One such event happened this weekend, and we couldn’t wait to share the news.
Callie, our beautiful shelter dog that was pulled in our March transport (when she was still a puppy), had had very little interest, despite being house trained, healthy, and great with other dogs. She was featured on social media, and we did our best to raise awareness, but Callie’s forever remained elusive - especially when we thought she had found a permanent home, but that individual skipped multiple events and opportunities to make Callie a family member, meaning not only didn’t they commit, but they blocked Callie’s attempt at finding someone else.
However, there is always a plan in play, even when we don’t see it, and begin to lose hope.
Callie met a new person when her foster had to go out of town for Thanksgiving, and for them both, it was love at first sight.
Within a week of their introduction, paperwork was submitted, and this weekend, Callie became someone’s best buddy forever.
After signing the documents, Callie’s new dad looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “You know those moments in life, the ones where everything is perfect and your brain is so filled with joy that you can’t help but cry because you are so happy? Those times rarely happen, but for me? That moment is right now. I love this dog so much, I would die before I let her go. Would you take a photo, so I have a picture from this exact feeling?”
And with that, my friends, I present (with permission) Callie’s Holiday Miracle.
