Those who know me, know I love dogs and work trying to save innocents from our high-kill shelter here in Memphis

Two to three weeks ago, I met a beautiful pup named Winter and was determined to save her from euthanization the next day.

We had our annual Christmas adoption event the next weekend, so I wrote to two people at the shelter about fostering her until Saturday and bringing her back for the event, so she'd be saved. Word got that Winter was not safe, so I called. When the shelter told me she was unavailable, I went ballistic. I was frantic, as I inquired, "Is she dead?"

She wasn't euthanized but once they go to the ER for the procedure, they may not be fostered. Once again, I pitched a fit and was connected to someone else who reluctantly agreed to let me foster. They kept telling me she would be back on the urgent list if no one rescued her at the event.

I went to the shelter to sign paperwork and was told she couldn't go home until she was fixed. I would get a phone call. The call never came, so I called them. They hadn't gotten around to neutering her, so she would have to stay at the shelter. That's okay! She was alive.

When I came to the shelter on Saturday, I was alarmed by her not being in her kennel. Turns out, someone had fostered to adopt her! Being a little suspicious, I repeatedly asked, if I was the foster? I was told by multiple people, including the director, that someone else had agreed to foster her.

After the event, I learned that I was indeed the foster, and she had missed the event I'd worked hard to save her for. I explained that I was fostering her until after the event, but they didn't quite get it because other people called me, including someone two weeks later telling me she was fixed and ready to be picked up. I once again explained.

Meanwhile, I contacted a friend who did a great job advertising her situation. I don't know how she survived multiple weeks and was not put back on the euthanization list, but it could be the many people pledging money for a rescue to take her.

The day before I was scheduled to take her on a foster field trip to get strong notes on her for advertising, someone came in and adopted this beautiful girl! I pray she went to a good home because she is a sweet and lovable dog.

If you don't have a dog, please consider heading to your nearest shelter. Dogs are great at calming our stress and giving unconditional love. ❤️

Dog rescue can be both rewarding and heartbreaking! Click here to see dogs at our Memphis Animal Shelter. I also work with transporting dogs to forever homes or rescues, so if you see a dog you want but live out of town, we can work to send you a furrever friend.

I have plenty of resources for all ages, but my newest is two logic puzzles for high school. These are tough and made me sweat!
