"Daisy came to us as a puppy in 2013. Adopted, returned. Adopted again, returned again - four times total. As she got older, gray around the muzzle and cloudy-eyed, people stopped asking about her. Our staff loved her, but she lived in kennel #7 for twelve years.
Yesterday, Helen, 74, who'd just lost her Beagle of fifteen years last winter, walked through our doors. Staff kept showing her younger, "adoptable" dogs. Helen shook her head at each one, then asked: "Who's been here the longest?" We brought out Daisy. Helen looked at her gray face and cloudy eyes and said: "Perfect. We match now." She signed the papers and took her home yesterday afternoon.
Twelve years. 4,380 days in that kennel. The wait for an American shelter dog is finally over. It's never too late.
Hoy en Venezuela, miles de vidas humanas dependen de PERROS rescatistas. De esos mismos animales que muchos llaman “solo perros”
que son abandonados, envenenados, atropellados o arrojados a la calle cuando estorban.
