We have some news… 👀❤️
Remember the sweet pup abandoned in the middle of the night at Dreamette Ice Cream Springfield?
The very next morning, she found a foster family.
What we didn’t know at the time was that this girl already had a story. After scanning her microchip, we learned she had originally been adopted from ACPS in March 2025… and had later been stolen from her registered owner back in November.
We now have a photo of the individuals responsible for stealing and abandoning her, and that information has been forwarded to the animal control officer involved in the case.
Sadly, her original owners chose not to reclaim her and officially released her to Able’s Legacy Rescue.
But maybe this was always where she was meant to end up. ❤️
Because her foster family completely fell head over paws for her… and she fell just as hard for them. Especially their little boy, who she refuses to leave the side of. Now, she never has to. 🫶
What started as abandonment in the dark ended with safety, love, and a forever family.
Thank you to everyone who shared, cared, searched, commented, and stayed invested in her story. Every single share mattered.
A special thank you to Officer Lowery with Animal Care & Protective Services for helping navigate this case and going above and beyond even during the weekend.
And a huge thank you to the owners and staff at Dreamette Ice Cream Springfield for not only sharing her story, but stepping in, taking action, and helping this sweet girl when she needed it most.
The biggest thank you goes out to David and his family for opening their home and hearts to a pup in needed. Truly remarkable ❤️
This is why community matters.
This is why rescue matters.
Together we make a difference, we save lives!
