Success Stories

Sissy was rescued from a horrendous hoarding situation where she was terribly neglected, both physically and mentally. When she came into rescue, she was shy and withdrawn. She was in desperate need of extensive dental work and treatment for corneal ulcers. However, she managed to come through it all with the will to love and the ability to trust people again. Sissy spent several months in foster care, during which time she received the care and nurturing that she needed to blossom into a sweet, affectionate girl with lots of energy and zest for life. She finally found the perfect home with a young lady in Abbotsford and now the two of them are inseparable.

***An update from Sissy’s mom:

“Just wanted to update you on Sissy.... 

We are having a blast together! When she isn't sleeping she is wagging her tail and running around. I took her on the boat for the first time last weekend and she was great! She just sat on my lap the whole time and enjoyed the cruise down river. We went to Harrison by boat and took her walking around the town, very well behaved other than trying to call on a great big dog that looked like a wolf! Crazy girl! 

Everyone who's met her has loved her...other than the carpet cleaning guy that she didn't like either (must say I didn't trust him much). She's a great little guard dog, growls when someone comes to the door which I don't mind at all. 

Most dogs she ignores, but some she tends to be a little snarly with. She hasn't had any accidents in the apartment since the first night (good girl). She has been fine around kids, but I have only introduced her to really calm, gentle older kids. She wouldn't leave my friends daughter alone the other day when we went for a BBQ. They were like two peas in a pod. 

She has me trained now, which my friends think is hilarious. When I get out of the car she won't come out my side. I have to go around and open her door! I think she thinks I'm her driver! That and her cook, maid, pillow, etc.... 

She still follows me around everywhere I go, no more bathroom breaks by myself, but what can ya do? haha.”

Special thanks to Debra and the Calendar Girls for sponsoring Sissy and assisting with her medical costs.
