Speedy had been sitting in a shelter in Hutchinson, MN, since November and was diagnosed with Cushings disease. The shelter didn't have the money to pay for her medical expenses, and her time there was limited. Rescued Tails offered to pay for her testing and treatment, so the shelter was then able to take Speedy to the vet and get her the medical help she needed. Meanwhile, we were desperately looking for a foster home for Speedy. We contacted a previous adopter, who had recently lost their precious dog, Gertie, to lymphoma. We asked them if they would be willing to foster Speedy for us. They met her and it was love at first sight - they ended up adopting Speedy!

It was the perfect combination of sharing resources, networking and timing, and now Speedy is living in a home for the first time in seven months. We know that she will be greatly loved and spoiled rotten! Thank you to everyone who helped Speedy and a HUGE THANK YOU to Scott and Maggie for opening up their hearts and home to help another dog in need and adopting Speedy! And a HUGE THANK YOU to John and Jill for donating the funds to cover Speedy's vet care!
