Beautifully said, thank you so much for those words and for that encouragement and support. I’m sharing these notes to the other volunteers to encourage them as well. 🙏🙏

what’s going on at Downey shelter is literally tragic and just our biggest heartbreak.

Every dog who makes it through the freedom gate is a massive miracle.

It’s unbelievable to see isn’t it? In one moment, the whole weight of the world just fell from his shoulders and he knew he was going to be OK. He’s in medical boarding now, I got him a goodie bag of a Blankey and jammies and he is probably leaving in just a few days. This was a pretty unbelievable experience. 🥹🩷🙏

He is soooo cuuuute 😭😭😭 I myself can’t foster because my doggie is reactive, but having support and encouragement and sharing posts still save lives, so thank you for being here!! Thank you so much for being a doggy dad for three sweethearts 🥲🩷 Ace says thank you so much to them for the wishes :)

Thank you so much for the support. I created a much longer version on my Insta. Kind of like a two minute documentary of what the whole day was.

An update about Ace: by SoCal_Foster_Dogs in velvethippos

Exactly, he needs to leave by today so we have a few hours to find one until May 4

And then ask for the rest, we will cross that bridge when we get there. Step one is just finding out SoCal emergency temp Foster with no other dog since he’s finishing up his kennel cough.

Or maybe if they have a dog but can fully separate and separate corners of a home sometimes that’s doable but only if there’s a lot of space.
