Lola
can best be described as a princess! She has a big personality
that far exceeds her petite frame. At seven, she doesn't look a
day over three :). Lola has bonded most with her new mum and
evens the family up, making it equal parts male and female now (much
to mum's joy and delight). She is lightning fast at snatching
food off of surfaces she can reach; loves to perch at the top of the
sofa surveying her new home free from the ornery gripes of our
thirteen-year old cock-a-poo Bear. They get along best when Lola
accepts her rank as newbie and does not tread on Bear's unwritten
series of rules that she is expected to follow. Napping is their
favourite past-time, especially
flaked out on mum and dad's bed with the fans on high. Car rides
mean adventure and she is happiest riding shotgun with the windows
down low to maximize the cross-breeze.
Lola came to our attention through the Aylmer SPCA's website. A
friend recommended your shelter as being especially humane with your
commitment to finding alternatives to euthanasia for pets deemed unfit
for adoption. We were happy to support your efforts through
Lola's adoption and hope that in telling her story, we can
encourage others to do the same.
From what we can estimate, Lola came to your shelter from a "good"
home. She shows no signs of physical abuse and is socially
developed. Sadly she does show signs of neglect having been
abandoned by her previous family after spending two weeks in your
boarding kennel. Lola sticks to me like glue, often going as far
as camping out under the commode while in use simply to ensure she
doesn't get left behind again. It's heartbreaking to see her
question each movement we make as potentially being the last time she
sets eyes on us. We have little concern that Lola won't recover fully
from her experience, we are all too aware though that hers is merely
one of countless other stories that make what you do so very
important. We are so grateful to your organization and its
volunteer staff
for
the dedication and heart that you give to care for each
four-legged fragile soul that crosses your path.
Thank you again for taking such good care of Lola while she waited for
her new family to take her home for good this time :)
Krista, Chris, Bear and Lola
