Pet Adoptions Near Me

“Now that we knew Gremmy's medical future, that he got along with the kids, the dogs, and had our hearts, a week later my husband and I had ‘the talk’ about making this little guy a permanent member of our family. It was an easy decision. I sent the official text to the Foster Care Coordinator asking her if it was okay we earned the title ‘Foster Failures’ and adopted this little guy. Almost immediately I got a ‘heck yes!' text right back, and once I announced it in the foster/adoptions text group, Theresa (even though she was out on a rescue) took the time to send a message back letting us know how thrilled she was for Gremmy, that he finally had a home and thanking us for taking such great care of him.

“He went from ‘It is uncertain if this patient is able to be rehabilitated to become a household pet ...' and having to be only handled with a blanket, biting and snapping at anybody who came near him, to our ‘Bubba,’ who LOVES chips, tater tots, car rides, butt scratches (from even the kids) and rubbing up against my legs like a cat. Although he still has to be handled with care (we often tote him around town in a pet stroller for the safety of others since they immediately want to stroke his head or pick him up without asking), still takes his daily medication with yogurt and pain medication on bad days, and has to be sedated and put under general anesthesia for his grooming, he has come SO far and he is very happy!! We celebrate every little milestone ... recently it was learning to go up the stairs, unassisted.

"As we approach the one year anniversary of his ‘Gotcha Day’ (November 1st), I try not think about his former owner too much or what he may have gone through. His physical injuries and psychological scars are enough for us to know that it was way too much for any living creature to have to endure. We have been in touch with the veterinarian who did his neglect summary; we like to keep her up to date and let her know how he is doing. We did learn that his former owner only received a slap on the wrist and was ordered to pay his approximate $800 vet bill over a period of approximately 6 YEARS. That was it. No jail time, no fines. When I read that email there was that familiar feeling creeping up from my toes. When I went to bed that night I cried huge, weeping, ugly sobs for Gremmy. That’s all I will let her get from me. She is not worth my tears. Instead, I use it as motivation for the voiceless, the abused, the suffering. I will use my voice to speak even louder for them - I will not let Gremmy's suffering be in vain. After all, that is the least I can do for Gremmy and those animals like him. WE are their voice. If you see abuse or neglect – report it. If we don’t speak up for them, if we aren’t being that somebody, who will?"
