This is my newest baby, her name is Willow! Here is her story:
At the school where I intern, a stray dog used to roam about. I tried for weeks to rescue her. Over winter break, I received an email that this stray had puppies on campus! Then, it became my mission to rescue them all, get them medical care, and find them good homes! After several attempts, it became clear that the Mama was very protective and becoming aggressive. The school decided that it was now a safety concern, as the students play near where the puppies slept. Animal control came to the school on two occasions to try and rescue the dogs, but had no luck. A few days passed and I was notified that the crossing guard witnessed a driver purposefully hit the mother dog. She died instantly. A few staff members at the school swooped up the puppies and brought them inside for warmth, food, and shelter. At just 1-2 weeks old, I took home Willow, the runt of the litter. (The two other puppies found good homes with other staff members.)
Willow is growing so quickly and she is such a love bug! I feel so lucky that I was able to provide her with a safe and loving home. My other rescue dog, Hallie, who has also been featured here, loves Willow! She has acclimated to her new Mom/sister role and is teaching Willow so many new skills!
Here's to rescue dogs! They are truly amazing.
