Let Freedom Ring - You may have seen Ember making the social media rounds as having a euthanasia date for Monday, but before you get mad at our local shelter, please understand that they need space. It is a community shelter, not a rescue facility. You can’t get mad at people whose job it is to mop up the messes that a community hands them. With already having 17 dogs & only 14 spaces, they would not have had the space to care for puppies. This is the product of owners not getting their dogs spayed/neutered & letting dogs run loose! Enter our ACO, Tiffany, who started working the rescue channels & a few other passionate volunteer advocates to try to make things happen.
Ember was very pregnant when she was advertised to be euthanized on Monday.
Our dear friend Bonnie was able to locate a rescue for Ember and her future pups, but we needed transport.
Remember Roscoe and Kilo? Holly was our transporter who volunteered to get them to their forever home in Boston a couple of years ago & she happily accepted this task to ensure another would be safe, along with her future babies.
This morning Tiffany came in to prepare momma for her surprise freedom ride & Ember thanked everyone back with a surprise of her own. NINE PUPPIES! All appear healthy and Ember very happy. She couldn’t wait to show them off.
We are so grateful for Bonnie Trenton, who does the best she can to help get dogs to safety, grateful to 2nd Chance Healers in Pennsylvania who scrambled to make arrangements quickly for this dire situation, grateful to Holly for dedicating her precious time to an animal in need, and the volunteers that do what they can.
Ember got lucky as it is very difficult to get a dog into rescue at this time.
We wish you and your precious babies a happy life, sweet Ember.
FOR EMBER’S SAKE — PLEASE SPAY / NEUTER.
