Wishes for My Pet

Beautiful story. The love of a shelter pet that has been rescued is unconditional.

Yesterday, I adopted the oldest, sickest, and most "broken" dog from the shelter. I'll never forget that look in his eyes. When I stepped in front of his cage, he didn't even raise his head—he was used to being overlooked. Huddled in the corner, he had long since accepted his fate. The volunteers kept asking me, "Are you sure? Really this dog?"
Without hesitation, I said, "YES. This is my dog."
When the cage door opened, several other animals ran out—but I went straight to him.
At that moment, he suddenly raised his head, as if seeing an angel.
I took him in my arms and whispered, "You'll be happy again."
He fell asleep in my lap—perhaps peacefully for the first time in his life.
Give them a chance.
Give them love.
They need us—more than we often realize.

Meet our Foothills Alum, Henry!

"We adopted this guy Henry on October 2016! Our black lab Lucy passed away shortly before Easter from health complications. We waited for a couple months before searching for that perfect addition. We were looking at a couple small dogs next to Henry but my mom thought he was beautiful. He was brought in as a stray. He was skinny and but very friendly, and we immediately fell in love. We took him home and got him his first Wendy’s burger. Thank you Foothills Animal Shelter for taking care of Henry and for bringing him home with us! He’s a very good boy!"
