Yep, that I can promise you. The top photo is when she just came out of the shelter, the bottom photo is in her new home, all settled in. This is after much vet care, and outstanding fostering by a well respected rescue. This is what we all work so hard for. To move from a crappy home to a distant and uncaring shelter, to a foster that cares and on to her forever home, still keeping herself together, all the while adapting to each new challenge as it comes up. She worked as hard as the rescues and all involved in making it happen. You’re finally home, enjoy.

Today I pulled a Cane Corso from the South L.A. shelter, by phone, for someone else to pickup and transport. I was tied up on another transport and there was no way I could get to South L.A. in time. Just because I was previously committed, doesn’t mean that he has to die, but that was the choice. This particular breed doesn’t have a strong adoption record with the public and not many rescues will take them on because of their close association as fighting dogs. But a rescue I work with wanted him, so we arranged it the way it went down. He will be leaving L.A. in a few days for a much better life than he has ever known in these parts. I just hope one day he realizes just how close he came to the rainbow bridge. Luckily there are still people that care, not many, but some.
