Twiggy was found under a car near a Los Angeles city shelter.  A volunteer from our partner rescue group, Life 4 Paws, got her to come out and she was covered in grease.  She was taken to the shelter, but was never claimed, so she was rescued and flown to British Columbia to find her forever home. 

Twiggy was adopted by a family in Powell River with two boys, aged five and fifteen.  She also has a canine sibling (a Yorkie mix) to play with.  Her new family loves her dearly and Twiggy has especially bonded with the younger boy.  Twiggy was a little nervous around the teen-aged boy initially, but he has worked hard to gain Twiggy’s trust and she has now begun to warm up to him.  Although she is still a little shy with him, she will snuggle into him now. Twiggy was also fearful of men, but she is gaining more confidence now.  She was named “Twiggy” because she was so skinny when she was rescued, but she has now started to gain some weight.  Life is good for Twiggy in Powell River!
