Animal-People Adoption Stories: Part 5 of a Multi-part Series

“Aren’t you sweet! I realized this dog has recently been dumped here. She put her trust in me and I didn’t want to betray that. I picked her up and I drove her to the vet. They confirmed that she was very sick. She’d have more energy, her skin would be getting better and she started to flourish into this beautiful brown dog who was unrecognizable.”

Now, we will meet Helen, a 20-year-old blind cow-person. “Even though Helen had a rough past, she is full of love. Helen really shows us how she feels with physical touch. We were looking to rescue a companion for Helen. And then all of a sudden, Margaret just started licking her. From that moment on, they have been inseparable.”

“I gave him a free roaming environment and he was getting a lot more calm and within those six months he changed a lot. He has such a strong personality, and I really learned to find it endearing and charming. I think people don’t do a lot of research before they get rabbits as pets. Belv used to be untrusting of people, and I can tell now more and more that he trusts me.”

Bree got lost on the streets of New York and ended up at the rescue where Camille works. “Chicks that age should be under their mothers keeping warm and basically I became his surrogate mother. And I just learned very quickly that he’s this wonderful, sentient being that just wants to be loved like all of us.” But roosters aren’t allowed to live in NYC. Bree and Camille moved out of the city and they don’t regret a thing. “That gives me a special feeling because for me, he’s such a gift.”
