Two Happy Endings!!!

Happy Ending Number One:

Today, Macy (Caleb's littermate) moved from her foster home to her forever home with Kimberly. Macy's journey has been a long one - her first owner died, the second abused and neglected the dogs (and was later found guilty in court), then she was seized by the SPCA and spent time there. She was adopted, but the adopter decided she'd rather travel and moved Macy to her parents' house. The parents decided they didn't want her and eventually she came to the attention of Bully Buddies rescue who picked her up and took her to Zoe's for foster care. And now she is on her way to Kimberly's. That's a lot of change for a dog who is only about five - and most of the changes were in the past 16 months.

But now she is has a new, carefully selected home which will be a great fit for her calm indoor but active outdoor personality.

Sam and Zoe, thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy time with sweet Macy while she waited for Kimberly to find her. Zoe, thank you for the love and great care you gave her while fostering her. Sam, thank you for having Bully Buddies rescue her and ensuring she found her very last ever – and best ever – family. And Kimberly, thank you for adopting her. I hope you will share as much love with her and have as great a time with her as I did with her brother, Caleb. And I hope she will live a long, long, long and happy life with you.

Macy, sweet girl, you are home.

Happy Ending Number Two:

Dyno, the older yellow lab from Williams Lake who bolted while visiting a home in Burnaby a week ago today has finally been caught!!!!!

He was sighted earlier today, many times, in the same general area as yesterday. A concentrated effort of Coquitlam Animal Shelter, rescuers, volunteers, family and friends managed to narrow the field and finally rounded him up safe and sound.

This country boy was so unfamiliar with the territory and with busy city streets that it could have had such a tragic ending. His guardian angels kept him safe and I am so very relieved that he will soon be back home with his mama, where he belongs.

Good boy, Dyno! Tonight you will sleep well, with a full tummy and a warm bed, and the love of humans who never gave up. Have a great life sweet dog.
