A few weeks back, the Laredo shelter reached out asking if we could take a Bulldog who had been picked up as a stray and needed help.
All we saw was a picture of her face and I was all in. She just needed to hitch a ride here and thankfully, that was no problem ~ transports bring dogs and cats north often.
On Wednesday, Grace Anna and two dozen more dogs and cats left South Texas behind and headed north. I’m sure it was the best day of their lives.
When Grace Anna was lifted out of the van and sat down on the ground, all I could do was cry. Her feet have sores on top of sores. Most of her fur is missing under her neck, down her legs and across her chest. Whatever fur left is stained with urine and filth. And what a smell.
But also, what a sweet, sweet Bulldog.
The transport woman was so nice to her. She made a point to tell me Grace Anna was a shelter favorite and she would be missed. I am 100% sure Grace Anna had never been missed by anyone before. I believe someone misses the money they made by breeding her time and time again.
Grace Anna is one of the lucky ones. She is now in rescue and will get the medical treatment she needs before we find her a forever family. Even with her ears cropped to her head, missing fur and having no clue how to live inside a home with love, Grace Anna is saved and we are so grateful that you gave us the ability to do so.
