SUCCESS STORIES
Sweet, shy TALIA was picked up as a stray and so scared in the shelter. This 8-month-old puppy girl was very timid but would sit calmly and watch you. Any loud noise or sudden movement sent her scampering to the back of the kennel.
Talia was adopted in Oct 2023. She is now living the dream in the Pacific Northwest, now she is called Maven. Our hearts were touched by her story, as shared by adopters Sam and Andrew...
"One of our motivating factors as her parents was to find Moose a friend — but not just any friend, a friend who would love him, play with him, communicate in all the ways that come most naturally to him, but also be a calm and loving presence in our house. We didn't just find that with Maven — we also found a whole new chamber of our life that was previously missing and is now so full.
A heartfelt thank you to Pamela, Carole, Deirdre, Joanna, and all the folks that not only were such advocates for Maven every step of the way but have had such a profound and positive impact in our lives. Thank you!"
Death-row shepsky SKYLA in Carson shelter. This 1-year-old girl had her right rear leg amputated after her owners dumped her due to infection; then she ended up on the euthanasia list. LTWR volunteers Lissette, MC & Preston saved her in the nick of time.
SKYLA was adopted in Oct 2023 and is now called SKY. Adopters Trisha & Emilio found the perfect match for their 3-year-old shepsky, IVY, an amputee on the opposite side. These two yin-yang tripod girls balance each other on walks together.
Thank you, Trisha & Emilio, for saving not one but two special “sisters” and making them your “world.” Trisha tells us that Sky & Ivy “make it feel like home.” With adopters like this, sky's the limit!
