It was Labor Day weekend when we received the e-mail from a good samaritan about a dog that had been abandoned. When we drove to the address the “house” was really a small shack that was covered in graffiti and looked to be abandoned. There was so much trash, and partially burned furniture thrown about, it was difficult to walk around. All of a sudden a little black furry dog came bounding out to greet us! He jumped up and licked our faces and seemed to say, “Where have you been? I have been waiting…and waiting.”  We contacted the sheriff, and just as he arrived on the scene so did a woman who jumped out of her car and called, “Here Stache!” The little black dog went running to the woman, and it was obvious the two knew each other. The woman, Jessica, proceeded to explain that she had given Stash away, along with his litter mates, when they were puppies. She had heard that this little one had since been abandoned. Rescued Tails worked with Jessica to get Stache, along with his littermate Nicki, to the vet. Each dog received medical care, including being spayed/neutered. In a blink of an eye, Stache was seen on our web site by Carrie and Josh and adopted into the wonderful forever home he so deserved. And soon after, Nicki’s lucky day came when Bonnie spotted her on our Petfinder page and drove over 50 miles, with her daughter and grandkids, to meet the little black dog. It was love at first sight, and Nicki went home the very same day. Thank you to everyone who helped save these two wonderful dogs!
