She watched our online listings and when Lexington became available, she acted fast and got her “man”! Lexington went home with the…
We rescued Camille in February from an animal control facility. She’d just had puppies. We saw the worker there grab a metal rabies pole and drag Camille out by the neck. Ugh! We were so sad to see this sweet little mama treated that way. Camille sat on our volunteer’s lap, traumatized on the way…
