A little MuttShack saved this family! On
Friday we posted a PTS (Put to sleep) list on Craigslist. It was a
3.00 am Hail Mary!
A mom with five kids of her own,
"Michelle" saw the posting and responded with an offer to foster
(MuttShack) three pups AND mom but didn't have money to bail them
all out.
We called about, and as miracles are prone
to surprise, Ace of Hearts came through with a card and helped us
make bail. Eldad, a tireless volunteer, and I showed up to bail
the pups but we were too late in the day to process the
application. It was a very restless night for the three of
us not knowing if we could get the family out before they would be
put to sleep. Saturday we called the shelter at 8:00 am -- Debbie
at South LA told us that she had kept the puppies for us and
helped us get the family out safely. Eldad drove them to their
new home, but not before rescuing another dog abandoned just
outside the shelter, and another one of his own, oh yes... and
another for Stephanie.
The Shep mom and puppies are just
incredibly happy in their new home. She just rolled on the grass
for twenty minutes! never dreaming she would ever see the likes of
a home like this!
Michelle our Foster Mom is even giving the
puppy-mom a break from those three ravenous pups and allocated
each pup one of her own adorable family members to train (play)
and rehabilitate (play!)
Thank you Craigslist, Michelle, Eldad, Ace
of Hearts and Debbie B.
If you look at the pictures before and
after... it's just worth it all right there. |
