Social media is filled with daily pleas for help for animals in need. Those working in rescue suffer heartbreaking emotions as they acknowledge the needs far outweigh the availability of resources. When rescues can help, they willingly step up..

Thus was the case of Lulu and Nora. Featured on one of multiple facebook re-homing pets groups, a PRN volunteered spied a precious & endearing photo of a 9 year old Lhasa Apso, as well that of a much younger puppy. Their family had experienced life circumstances which prevented them from continuing to care for these pups, no longer having time to devote to their needs. Luckily, a foster placement was secured, so help could be offered (foster families are the real super heroes in the world of rescue).

In the world of rescue, volunteers are well aware that surprises likely await … and often will NOT of a pleasant nature. Upon arrival to pick up Lulu and Nora, the volunteer was taken aback by the neglected condition of both pooches. Lulu the Lhasa was severely matted, with her fur soaked and skin burned by urine. Nora, the wee pup of just 6 or 7 months likewise suffered urine burns, and shockingly weighed less than 5 pounds. The priority became getting these precious girls immediately into a loving & healthy environment.

Once safely at the foster home, a most urgent need was serious clean up! Foster dad, though not a professional groomer, gave most valiant efforts in preliminary make over spa sessions! Lulu was bathed, large mats trimmed, grossly overgrown nails clipped, dirty ears cleaned, and eyes cleared as best able during her initial salon sitting. Lulu remained the sweetest little lady throughout the hours of this grooming session. Afterward, Lulu was presented with a comfy bed, dinner & fresh water. Her beauty mini makeover had wiped Lulu out! It was so very heartwarming to see her comfortably snuggled and sleeping soundly throughout the entire night. A professional grooming appointment was scheduled promptly, and all are anxiously awaiting her final "after" photos!

While Lulu was enjoying her makeover, sweet Nora was presented a hearty dinner, fresh water, and fluffy clean blankets to rest overnight. Boy, did she ever enjoy THAT meal!! And rest she did! Early the next morning it was bath and pedicure time for Nora! Of course this was followed by a healthy well balanced breakfast (greatly appreciated by Nora), and a new comfortable bed. With many small meals over the next couple of weeks, Lulu has gained 5 lbs and now weighs double her weight of just under 10 lbs. We are so delighted to see her reaching her optimal health.

Lulu and Nora are both very sweet girls, and will make such great companions for a new family to cherish and spoil them. Watch for them soon on our website!
