If you read our story last week about little Lil… you know. 💔

Seven months old.
Seven months.

Brought to us to be euthanized because she was “no good” to the backyard breeders.

Her ears had been butchered.
Her skin was inflamed and painful.
Her tiny body was crippled and stunted from neglect.
And yet… behind all of that was a pair of soulful green eyes still hoping someone would choose her.

We did. ❤️

Friends… you should see what, as little as two weeks of TLC, looks like!

Her gait is straightening as her body finally knows what it feels like to not be confined to a crate. She’s walking. Exploring. Curious. And a whole lotta’ Sass! ☺️

She no longer crouches when someone approaches her. No more shrinking. No more bracing herself. Because here, she learned that hands mean love. That voices mean kindness. That people can be safe.

And then, the best part.

We received a message:
“She absolutely loves her new family and pupper siblings. She is being showered with love.”

From discarded… to cherished.
From unwanted… to adored.
From “no good”… to someone’s whole world.

That is the glow up.

This is why we say the SPCA is a place of hope, not a place of destitution. This is why we fight the hard cases. This is why we stand up to cruelty. This is why we believe in second chances.

Lil was never the underdog.
She was just waiting for someone to see her worth.

And now she’s home. 🏡✨

Thank you for believing in stories like hers.
Thank you for supporting us and helping us turn heartbreak into healing!
We thought this would be a nice story to send you into your weekend! ☺️

⚠️ GRAPHIC PHOTO ⚠️
About an hour ago I responded to a call regarding an injured raccoon reported in a driveway of someones home. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, the animal was no longer there.💔
While returning to the clinic, the vehicle directly in front of me struck a raccoon attempting to cross the road and continued driving without stopping. The person didn't brake to avoid hitting her, they didn't swerve, they didn't as much as pause as I witnessed her roll from underneath their car😭
I immediately pulled over, activated my hazard lights, and was able to safely reach her. She was still breathing at that time but despite rapid intervention and transport, she passed away en route in my arms just 2 minutes away from our wildlife hospital. 😪
During the recovery, another passing vehicle failed to slow down and came dangerously close to the active roadside scene, even with hazard lights visible. The driver also accelerated the gas nearly hitting me and my car door. Keep in mind this is a back road , NOT a busy road and the opposing lane was completely clear for as far as an eye could see😪
We are sharing this not to assign blame, but to raise awareness.
Wildlife is active at all hours, and road crossings are unavoidable for them. Slowing down, especially at night and in residential or semi-rural areas truly makes a difference🙏🏼. If you strike an animal and it is safe to stop, please do so💔. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator or local authorities so the animal does not suffer needlessly😢.
If you see hazard lights on the roadside, please reduce speed and move over when possible. It may be a rescue in progress.
Compassion and caution save lives BOTH human and wild.🙏🏼
It brings me some peace to know that she died in my arms verses alone in the middle of a road alone and afraid .😪
What does not bring me peace is the utter disconnect for another life.

Stoic lost the tops of his ears due to frost bite and possibly the end of his tail will be next. Poor baby has had it so rough. Some of his toe beans fell off due to frost bite too 😔

But still he gives unconditional love
