We were delighted by a surprise visit from the Meyers family, who adopted Kota, a resilient red & white male husky with a history of hardship. Kota's life has taken a turn for the better, filled with truck rides with his dad, and receiving all the love & affection from his whole family, who have provided him with a remarkable loving home! He is one happy boy,🐶 We were glad he still remembered us with his tail wags & kisses.🐾😘
