Destination Rescue Dogs

When we went to BARC this weekend to pick up Dolly, we were scrolling through the shelter website trying to decide which dog we wanted to temperament test her with when one intake photo stopped us in our tracks.

Libby (A2073836).

Her picture absolutely broke us. This poor girl looked like she had been through hell. Either heavily pregnant or recently done nursing puppies, covered in skin issues, painfully thin, and in terrible shape… yet somehow she was still smiling.

In that moment, we knew. We were taking Libby out. And that’s exactly what we did.

From the second we met her, we were completely enamored. Libby is unbelievably calm, gentle, and loving. Despite everything life has clearly put her through, she leaned right into us for affection like she had known us forever. No bitterness. No fear. Just love.

While spending time with her, we noticed she had a very noticeable limp. Honestly, it crushed us. We just committed to another orthopedic case with Mojo, and financially, like most rescues, we are stretched incredibly thin. The thought of another possible surgery felt overwhelming.

But we couldn’t stop thinking about her.

So we reached out to our friends at CUDDLYand asked the scary question… did they think we could do this again? Could they help us raise funds for another potential orthopedic case?

And without hesitation, they said yes. 🥹

Because of their support, Libby gets a chance. A real chance. The sweetest, most deserving girl finally gets to know safety, comfort, and love.

And somehow, the universe kept lining things up for her because one of our favorite fosters stepped up to take her in. Not only does she have extensive shepherd experience, but she’s also experienced with orthopedic recovery.

Libby hit the jackpot.

We wanted to share this story on our socials because she deserves to be seen and we are soooo excited to share her glow up with all of you. Freedom pictures coming soon ♥🥹
