🚨‼️ URGENT RESCUE TAGS OR COMMITTED ADOPTERS NEEDED! TWO GIRLS, ONE HEARTBREAKING STORY. ‼️🚨
💔 MEET CORA & LARIAT. TWO GIRLS WHO LEARNED TO RECOGNIZE THE SOUND OF KINDNESS.
These two beautiful girls came from the same household, but the life they were living was anything but the life they deserved.
Left to fend for themselves, exposed to the elements and whatever dangers came their way, Cora and Lariat had to depend on the kindness of others for the simplest necessities.
Cora’s ears had been eaten raw by flies. 💔
But there’s one part of their story that absolutely breaks our hearts.
These girls became so familiar with the animal control officer’s truck that they could recognize it coming down the alley.
And when they saw it?
THEY GOT EXCITED. THEY GOT HAPPY. THEY KNEW SOMEONE CARED. ❤️
Because that truck meant snacks. It meant food. It meant attention. And most importantly, it meant LOVE.
Imagine being so deprived of the basic things every dog deserves that the highlight of your day is seeing the truck of the person who comes to make sure you’re okay.
They didn’t know they were being failed. They just knew someone was showing up for them.
🐾 MEET THE GIRLS!
🌸 CORA
* Approximately 1-year-old Doodle
* HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!
* Loves absolutely everyone!
* Appears to be potty trained
* Has endured painful fly damage to her ears
* Still has so much love and excitement to give!
💜 LARIAT
* 5-month-old female Heeler puppy
* Sweet as can be!
* Just a baby who deserves a chance to grow up knowing safety, comfort, and unconditional love.
❤️ THE GOOD NEWS? THEY ARE FINALLY SAFE!
Cora and Lariat are now at Ulysses Animal Shelter, where they no longer have to wait in an alley for someone to bring them food or show them kindness.
But the shelter shouldn’t be the end of their story.
🚨 BOTH GIRLS DESPERATELY NEED RESCUE TAGS OR COMMITTED ADOPTERS! 🚨
They do NOT have to go together, and we certainly don’t want to hold either girl back from finding her forever home.
But wouldn’t it be something beautiful if these two girls, who came from the same home and endured so much together, got to walk into their happily ever after side by side? 🥹❤️
From waiting for an animal control truck in an alley to waiting for their families at the front door.
From wondering when their next meal would come to never knowing an empty belly again.
From surviving the elements to sleeping in warm beds.
That’s the ending we want for Cora and Lariat.
