First, I want to say Shelby and everyone I involved are safe and no one was harmed. Thursday morning 3/20/25 Shelby was in a fender bender on the 60 freeway. Traffic came to a complete stop and she rear ended the man in front of her. As he pulled away and over to the shoulder she had a moment of relief as only his bumper was bent. However, as Shelby pulled onto the shoulder a fire erupted out of the vans engine. She had seconds to throw it in park, grab poppy from her car seat and as she got out the flames were already coming over the driver side mirror and door frame.
As the man and her ran towards each other she urged him to move further away as the van has gas tanks and propane. Fortunately, the fire department was able to get the fire out before the flames could reach more fuel sources. However, the entire cab of the van was completely melted.
The most important part is Shelby is alive and no one was injured. We don’t know much from insurance yet and have little answers. We are down to one working unit with a fully booked schedule for two. We will need to rearrange the schedule to accommodate us doubling up and both working from the trailer. Until we have a new van both employees are out of work and we cannot work 7 days a week.
We have set up a gofundme if anyone feels called to help support us with our upcoming bills as our income has been reduced. On the gofundme page you’ll see exactly what bills your donations will be helping us with. We ask for grace, prayers, support, patience and love during this difficult time.
We are so thankful to our community and look forward to continuing to provide your pups with love and the highest quality of care. We are hopeful and know the only way from here is up. I am beyond thankful she is alive and here today. We love you all. Thank you for any support.
