When one kennel door closes, another one opens.
Today we welcomed two new Good Catches into our home and rescue.
The first is a pup we're calling Mason. He'd been at the county shelter since 4/13 after being picked up with his sister, who was recently adopted. Mason is 5 months old and weighs about 25 pounds. He's an Australian Shepherd mix with a lot of catching up to do when it comes to leash walking and building confidence. Right now, he's still learning to hold his head high, but he's a happy boy, and we think he'll pick up some great cues from our resident pups.
The second dog came about because we originally went to meet Mason and his sister. When we learned she had already been adopted, the shelter staff and volunteers saw their chance and started telling us all about a 3-year-old, heartworm positive, bully mix who had been waiting for a home for two and a half months.
Despite all that time in the shelter, she remained kind, gentle, and friendly.
We're calling her Patty, which is short for Patata and is Spanish for potato.😉 (See her video in our comments.)
If nobody speaks up for them, they remain invisible.
A huge shoutout to Nivia for sending the email, Inca for your extra "input" on just how wonderful Patty is, and Jaime and Mackenzie for doing for these shelter dogs what not all of us are capable of. Your advocacy changes lives.
