I received a call from a local animal service rescue coordinator – Lauren, at Grand Prairie Animal Services. A dying woman had entrusted the care of her beloved small dogs to a friend, to care for them after she was gone. Instead of honoring this commitment – her friend immediately had surrendered her dogs to the shelter after her funeral. Would our rescue accept the small aged Yorkshire Terrier?
When I arrived to pick up little Andy, I saw his companion for his entire ten years of life, was a scruffy, neglected Westie-named Scooter. The local Westie rescue was full, and these guys needed help.
The men were euphoric to leave the shelter and both pulled me straight to my car- popped right in and said: “Phew…..take us outta here, PLEASE”.
Both guys were very dirty, had long nails, ungroomed, dirty ears, and neglected oral hygiene. But one thing never stopped-happy wagging tails!
After a few weeks at the BlueBonnet Yorkshire Terrier Rescue, Scooter regained his old sense of self and blossomed. We were so blessed to find an elderly man, who had recently lost his wife and seventeen y/o Westie. There was a big hole in his heart and we had just the perfect dog to try to fix the situation. We regularly hear from Leonard Gretsky, who can not stop singing Scooters praises.
