Ode to Lottie - The ONES and the MANY

Some stories arrive like thunder. Others come hopping across the parking lot at full speed, refusing to surrender. That was Lottie.

She was found running with a crushed rear foot, zipping along on three good legs, dangling the fourth, as if grit alone could outrun pain. Painful? Absolutely. Defeating? Not for her.

In rescue, there are the ONES and the MANY.

The Ones are the people who notice what others pass by.
The one who sees the dog in need.
The one who says “I’ll foster”.
The one who starts the fundraiser.
The one surgeon extraordinaire whose skill turns crisis into possibility.

Then there are the Many.
The village.
The donors.
The transporters.
The encouragers.
The people who share the post, send the prayer, offer the crate, cover the shift, cheer from the sidelines, and quietly keep the wheels turning.

The ONES strike the match.
The MANY keep the fire lit.

Because of both Lottie has a new chance at normal. Today she has embraced the tri-pod world and her future is wide open.

And when her healing journey is complete, Lottie will be available for adoption, ready to bring that brave spirit into a home of her own.

This is rescue. Not one hero, but a chorus of them.

Thank you to every ONE. Thank you to the MANY.

NOM NOM NOM!!!!! So blessed to have this amazing donation of food from Brian and Stacy! They really must be psychic because they always show up as we are sweating bullets wondering how we are going to stock the pantry! We are SO thankful for their support and helping us fill pet bowls all over town.

We are very blessed on this gorgeous Easter morning and we hope that you and your family have a wonderful Sunday! Icie is our model today and yes, she's perfect and also yes, she is available for adoption!
