Feel Good Friday is here 🎉
Gonna try & make this short & sweet. Our goodest Revel Top Golf Miracle Milagra Millie 'Shelby' girl is in the beautiful loving home she deserves. Once we secured her we kept her at CMM headquarters for the day to decompress then we took her to Cross My Paws. There she had her own safe space and we left a camera to watch her. The doggy door flap was tied open so she could go in & out at her leisure. It took her a few days to figure it out but she did. Then the flap was let down & it took her a few more days to figure it out but she did. She was let out in the yard to hang out & interact with other dogs which she did beautifully. She instantly took to human touch and would nudge you if you stopped and once you reached to caress her she would lay down & roll over for belly rubs. She craved attention so we knew she needed to be in a home that would give her what she needed, and deserved. While she was at Cross My Paws we would go visit her and walk her. She's such a perfect girl. A couple weeks later she went to a foster who also had dogs that were good for her enrichment. There she showed off her doggy door skills, lizard hunting skills and enjoyed their beautiful home, yard & pack walks. While looking for the perfect home for her, she got spayed & stayed with the foster another week while she healed. The timing couldn't be more perfect when a lovely retired couple contacted Cross My Paws, after visiting all the shelters, looking for the perfect dog for them and their other rescue girl Zia. Cross My Paws told the couple they had exactly what they were looking for. That evening the couple went to the foster to meet Shelby. They knew a little bit about her story and they took her home that evening for a trial. Our girl has a hip issue, probably why she was limping when she was first spotted running through the field 11 months ago and eye issues. A little reluctant, the lovely couple were concerned about all that but were invested in taking care of her. The next day they called Cross My Paws and said they wanted to adopt Shelby. Whew. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome for our girl. Thank you everybody always for your trust & support & your pawsitive vibes. Thank you Yu Lin for first spotting her in September and never giving up hope for her. Thank you Dr. Kelly Norton for all your help vaccinating her, thank you Heather & Grace for opening up your heart & home to foster her, HUGE thank you Cross My Paws Animal Rescue for everything you do for all the sweet souls and a heartfelt THANK YOU to Howard & Debra for believing in our brave resilient girl and giving her the beautiful blessed life she deserves. And for the opportunity for us to visit any time! We can't CMM alone 🙏
