Rolla was discovered as a stray 4 months ago, staggering along the highway, and suffering from heat exhaustion. Animal control scooped her up and delivered her to a shelter, where she was revived and recovered fully, with no lasting damage or deficits.
For the past four months, Rolla has been a guest of the shelter, available for adoption but never selected as a family's newest member. Always a bridesmaid, poor girl.
This weekend, a veterinarian who was volunteering her time at the shelter said, enough is enough! Let's see if a breed rescue can find this girlie a happy place!
And we are so happy to say that we took the call, and Rolla is here with us and she is doing great! She has met her new foster sibling and the two kitties of the house, and she has accepted their hospitality with gracious condescension (her foster mom says she appears to think she is top dog!)
Thanks to the shelter, Rolla is up to date on vaccines and she is heartworm free! That is practically a miracle in itself, to find a stray in the heart of heartworm country who hasn't got some phase of heartworm. What a relief! She has a wee bump on her back, and she must be spayed. We'll have both those things taken care of when she goes to the vet this week. If you'd like to sponsor Rolla, you can click on her photo and tell her that even if she *did* spend 4 months at the shelter, she shouldn't take it personally. Those other families just didn't know what they were missing, you can say, and you can tell her that a Frenchie who likes kitties and gets along with other frogs will soon be raking in the applications! You can tell her those things, and not one word of it a lie! |
