A final thank you for your help with the abandoned puppies from a few months ago! [View all]

In January of this year, we were tasked with the rescue of two puppies that were abandoned alongside a dirt country road.

It was a task that we were financially unsuited for, but knew we had to endure either way. The Democratic Underground had come to our family's aid before when we needed to keep our in-law's electricity going during the winter, so we turned to DU again for these puppies.

No doubt, you all came through at that time of need. https://www.youcaring.com/twostraypuppies-739496

Of course you gave. AND OF COURSE YOU SURPASSED the requested amount. We posted the veterinary fees to show what was needed medically. We explained what future expenses would look like and you came through.

Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts!

Because, today I come to you with good news. Blue, the black and white dog with one blue eye and one brown eye, has finally been given to her forever home! She has a MUCH larger fenced in backyard. She has an older buddy that GUESS WHAT, has the exact blue eye, brown eye combo that she does, and she's got an owner that will not only give her the love that she deserves but, the new owner happens to be in our family! So, we'll still get to see her from time to time!

The new owner, my wife's aunt has also covered ALL further expenses that the charity did not cover. That means, ALL the food we ever bought for her, all the toys, all the extended medical treatment regarding her cherry eye and finally, the cherry eye removal surgery and spaying themselves! Here's Blue, 2 days after the surgery!



Blue is now set for life! But we couldn't have done it without the initial help of DU, so again, thank you so much! I just wanted to give everyone the final conclusion to this story.

P.S. And to those who never caught word of what happened to the other puppy, Hunter, he was given to his forever home about a month after rescue. The family was very nice and grateful for their new family member and in fact, Hunter was given to the daughter as a Valentines Day gift.
