This guy deserves the best of the best!!And if you know somebody that is the best of the best, then you send them this toast to get Chance
Sometimes cases come to The Pet Adoption Center that breaks the hearts of the team at PAC. None so sad as the story of this poor guy that the center named Chance. He is a sweet boy who needs a second chance.
Chance and his best friend, a Mastiff dog, were reportedly dumped one night at a local park. They were on the run for a few days with animal control trying to trap. Chance was more social, came right up to the ACO officers, and was brought to the center. You could tell he had enough of life on the streets and was cool with asking humans for help. However, his K9 best friend turned completely fearful when her cat buddy wasn't around. She was extremely bonded to the cat and without Chance by her side, she evaded rescuers. Last week a group of good Samaritans and a trapper went out in force trying to get this girl to safety. They had feeding stations everywhere, sightings all around the park , cameras set up , signs and traps. Despite signs telling people to not chase, people would not leave her alone and kept spooking. In her attempt to flee, she was hit by a car on Hwy 40 resulting in her death.
To the good Samaritans and volunteers ... Thank you for the hard work and dedication put into this girl they named "Pearl." She will never know they were trying to help and your hearts were in the right place. She was so fearful. It is definitely a HUGE loss... but maybe from the rainbow bridge she has crossed, she looks over her kitty brother and now knows" Chance" the cat is safe... PAC has to count that as a win even though it is hard to do.
Chance got the closure of being able to lay with Pearl one last time. Many people don’t realize how important it is to let animals grieve too.
The staff at PAC gave Chance and Pearl time to say goodbye… one physically by nudging and sniffing, and the other in spirit 🌈 💔.
Now PAC is searching for an angel to help give Chance the second chance he deserves. A new family to love and care for him. Someone who he can trust not to fail him like his past owner did. He is a sweet boy who loves low energy cat friendly dogs.
