Success Story "Lily"

Lily was at SFACC with no hope of rescue until Sherri saw her darling little face and pink cast on her front leg! At Lily’s first adoption event she met Rachael, a new volunteer, and the rest is history! Read on to see her beautiful photos and hear from her family how much she is loved!

Lily has been with us a little over a month and she is doing great! It’s taken a bit, but we’ve found our groove. Lily is used to the routine and doing a lot better with her separation anxiety. She has bonded with her sister and two brothers (Bella, Bailey and Sam). They run around like a little pack now. It’s adorable. :) Her fractured paw was determined to be an old, repetitive injury…like we thought it was. Luckily, she’s not in any pain with it. It’s just not as strong as it should be. We’re going to set up a consult with an orthopedist, but our regular vet doesn’t really think that even with surgery she’ll have a completely normal leg again. That said, it doesn’t stop her from doing anything. She runs around and jumps and plays even with her little limp, which is actually pretty darn cute. We had a little set back when she decided to jump from somewhere much too high to get closer to mommy, for which we lovingly call her “Geronimo,” but she’s doing much better now. She sure has a big personality in her tiny, little frame. Lily is the sweetest thing and we have so much fun together. She is a great car buddy. We just hook her up in her little seatbelt and off we go. :) She sleeps in our bed and is a great snuggler. We love her so much and feel so lucky to have her as part of our family. She has made us all better by just being in our lives. We’re looking forward to many wonderful years and adventures with her.

All Our Best,

Rachael, Sonia & The Crew
