The Story of Lily

[purdypiedad]

After harassing the animal shelter all week and talking to several different employees, it became apparent that they are no longer temperament testing very many dogs at the shelter.  They simply euthanize them.  Their euthanasia rate was 60%.  Now it's about 90%.  They absolutely would not commit to sparing the sweet girl I brought in, nor would

I don't have a lot to offer, but I want to donate what I can. Your stories are always moving, but this whole story was so touching I cried. You do very amazing things, and its very inspiring.

Thank you so much! A small donation would be a huge help to me, and your words encourage me more than I can say. I will let you know as soon as the PayPal account is all set up. Really, I cannot thank you enough.

I've got my PayPal account set up if you are still able to help out with Lily. I've posted the address in the journal entry. Once again, thank you, and thank you also for your words of encouragement.

Thank you for what you do! I am definitely going to help. I don't have a lot to give, but this is a really good cause that I feel very strongly about.

You did a very good thing for this little girl. I'd love to help out if I can. Please snuggle her for me. Rescue dogs are the best dogs.

*hugs* Thank you so very much! I'll be sure to give her loads of snuggles from you. She'd very much love to receive them.

It's kind of strange; I've worked with so very many rescue dogs, and many of them love people and obviously have much better, happier lives after rescue, but this girl actually seems to be grateful for being rescued. I've never encountered anything quite so endearing.

Oh I am so glad you saved one life--the next time I can, I will send you something. (My daughter just rescued another shivering, miserable creature cast off to die, which cost us the usual set of fees. And one can never regret that.)

[purdypiedad]

Aw. So glad her mother supports such things and another sweetheart will get to live! Thank you for saving a life. If you have the resources down the road, I'll certainly be grateful if you can share them, but if not, simply sharing in the endeavor to save one life at a time with you is a wonderful thing.

Well, I was going to ask if you could use a PetSmart or PetCo card, but the Paypal is way easier! Let me know!!

I do some scavenger hunts over on flickr and one of the themes for this month is smiling animal, Lily is the epitome of smiling animal!!!! So Cute!

[purdypiedad]

Thank you so, so, so, so much! I'll let you know as soon as the account is officially set up.

Hee! Miss Lily really does have the best smile ever. She makes me laugh almost every time I see her.

PayPal is all set up, and the address is posted in the journal entry. Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!

My offer still stands. I don't do PayPal, but if you email me your addy, I could send a check.

[purdypiedad]

Thank you so incredibly much. I'll take you up on the offer this time. My address will be forthcoming. I can't tell you how grateful I am for this.
