Love Heals All WoundsRunning terrified and frantic along a busy highway – that’s how Luna was found. This two year old girl had been abandoned and had a large wound on her neck that would require surgery to heal. How someone could leave a sweet girl like Luna like this on the side of the highway is something we will never understand. Fortunately, Luna quickly found her furever family and has been wholeheartedly embraced with love and compassion. Now surrounded by people who provide her with unconditional love and support, she is learning to trust again and can begin to feel the safety of a true home.

True CallingOnce homeless and suffering from separation anxiety, Teddy is now a full-time therapy dog!
After being surrendered to us, we were fortunate to be able to quickly place Teddy into a foster home. His foster mom began taking him to work with her and he was able to try his hand at becoming a therapy dog. Ultimately, Teddy ended up finding his true calling! The staff and residents at Sandhill Cove Retirement Living fell in love and decided to adopt Teddy to be their full-time therapy dog. We are so thrilled for this sweet boy and the Sandhill community residents. |
