We received a call in late November about a dog living in a crate. The caller wasn't sure, but they could see something else in the crate and thought it might have been a second dog that had passed away. We rushed to the scene, and thankfully, what the caller thought was a second dog was just a fluffy blanket. The temperatures were too cold, too dangerous, too deadly to keep dogs outside. Blankets freeze and crates are not enough to be considered "shelter." We were so thankful that the Good Samaritan reached out to us when they did.

We scooped her up, and we got her into the warm Jeep to rush her back to Stray Rescue. She was emaciated, dehydrated, and malnourished, and she had open wounds on her legs, but we couldn't help but be captivated by her perfectly pink nose and dazzling eyes. We named her Glinda, and despite the pain she was in, she stopped the vet during her examination to give us the most gentle thank you kiss. We promised her there was no going back, and she would have only the best from there. Glinda safely gained weight and got her strength back. We learned how much she loves to go on walks, play with toys, and snuggle up with her favorite people. Glinda the Good Witch is going to make a family so happy one day, we just know it.

Status: Glinda is a member of the One Love Club, and she is available for foster or adoption.
