Todd, Diana and Turtle were surrendered to the shelter after a heartbreaking domestic violence situation. Their mom fled an abusive spouse, but was not able to keep her animals with her in the shelter she had to go to. Imagine the heartbreak on both sides. The fear. The anxiety. She had to take the family to the local rural animal shelter. Our hearts break over hearing this story for all involved.
The husband has been sentenced to 4 years in jail now. Thankfully. But their mom cannot take them back as her situation is still perilous and not settled. Her only choice is to let them go.
The shelter has said that both dogs are total loves, although having some hesitancy around men. They were blown away by how sweet they both were - kissing and cuddling up to the trainer. :)
Turtle, the kitty showed up with a horribly infected and impacted toe nail and had not been to the vet since 2005. So we need to get her current and in better health. She is 16 years old!! No old soul belongs in a shelter at this age.
We need donations to cover their medical and transport costs so we can get them safely into a loving foster home and ready to put their tumultuous past behind them. And we want to give their mom the peace of mind she needs and deserves knowing her beloved dogs and kitty are safe.
Here's a cute video of the dogs at the shelter: https://youtu.be/lEbL39bzBJs
