This is Why We Rescue

My Tuesday's Tails posts are so often filled with sad stories and animals who continue to sit in a shelter after years.  Today's post is different.  Today's post is packed with wonderful news.

Do you remember Rico?

Rico had been at the HSNI for close to a year...worse yet, it was his second time around in a shelter.  A few weeks ago, he found his forever family!  He doesn't have to wait behind bars anymore.  He has a home to call his own!  

Now, I know you remember Beau and Chachi, the sweet senior couple who everyone loved but no one seemed to want.  (Photos courtesy of HSNI and Arickx Photography)

 

I cried tears of joy when I found out that these little loves had found a home.  After over a year of waiting, Beau and Chachi finally got to meet their new family, an older couple with lots of love to spare.  I am definitely going to miss these two, but I'm overjoyed at their good fortune - I can't wait for updates!  

This is why we work so hard in rescue, isn't it?  This is why we bust our asses sorting through applications, driving across the state, shoveling poop, etc.  Happy endings like these make it all so worth it, am I right?  There's really nothing like a good rescue story to put a smile on your face :)  Thank you all so much for sharing Rico, Beau, and Chachi.  It's people like you that make all the difference.

Also, Goldie is still looking for a home.  Please share her story as much as you can <3
