I’ve known Lily for quite a while. I first met her at the Lethbridge Animal Shelter. She had arrived in early December and was still there when I started volunteering in early January. In early February she had puppies. She raised her litter while at the shelter and they grew up, and were all quickly adopted. Lily was not.
Every time I went to the shelter, she was there waiting for a home. She left briefly and I celebrated for her, but then she came back. Someone didn’t check with their landlord first to see if it was OK for them to have a dog. Apparently it wasn’t. So after 5 months of living at the shelter, Lily was still waiting for someone to adopt her.
Then this past Thursday, she was adopted again! Yippee for Lily!
But it wasn’t the happily ever after we were all hoping for. Her new home had a family emergency that was going to affect their living arrangements and they realized that they wouldn’t be able to keep her. But there is some good news. The family who adopted her from the shelter are friends with one of our volunteers so instead of bringing her back to the shelter, they surrendered her to us! I’m so happy that she is finally in a home environment and is getting lots of exercise and love, but she still needs to find the forever home she deserves.
So more about Lily….
Lily is a super fun hound cross. She is playful, friendly and great with dogs, cats and people. Lily spent about 5 months at an animal shelter so she has been really enjoying having some room to run. She gets the zoomies a few times a day and you can see the pure joy in every moment of it.
