RESCUE OF CHOCO LAB A SUCCESS

Back in August, 2 people from CIActionNOW were visiting a local animal shelter as there was a big adoption fare going on. In the parking lot they ran into a family surrendering their pets due to not being able to financially take care of them anymore. The father had a 3 month old female chocolate lab in his arms. The poor thing was shaking with fear as it heard the deafning barking sounds of the 100 plus dogs from the stray area. So one of the CIActionNOW members said they worked in dog rescue and asked if they would allow them to take the dog and find it a new home, and they agreed immediately. So they met off the property where the exchange was made. The puppy told their two kids goodbye and they were also reassured she would find a good home. As soon as the exchange was complete, the puppy's face went from a look of horror to the biggest smile and wagging her tale uncontrollably! She was then told, 'you don't have to worry anymore, you just go and be a puppy now, we will do all of the worrying for you now.'

Well, this promise has been kept as she found a new home with one of our volunteers/members who took to her immedately before her picture even had a chance to go up with the Lab Rescue group who was going to post her picture and help find her a home. He named her 'Nestle' and she now has a fenced in yard to play in with a dog house and toys, provided by CIActionNOW, and also sleeps at the bottom of his bed every night. Even his roommates love her and she's come to be a great 'alarm system' too they say. She also loves to climb trees?? lol...now that's different!!

So another great success story for sure and we wish her well!!

We continue, as always on any rescue dog, to keep a check on her, but rest assured she has found a happy home!!

So good luck to Nestle and thanks so much Patrick for opening your life, your heart, and your home. We wish you both the best!!!!!!!!!
