Goodbye Shelter Life
Cue where our story begins. The man arrived at the shelter to collect his new best friend after filling out all the required paperwork. He excitedly attached the leash to her collar and they were ready to set off. All except Merrill, she wasn’t ready to leave Taco behind and began howling incessantly. The poor man had no idea what was wrong!
Changing The Plan
The staff explained what was happening and told him the heartwarming story of Merrill and Taco. The man heartily agreed that they shouldn’t be separated and although he dearly wanted to, he couldn’t adopt both. He chose to adopt another dog instead and this forced the rescue to change their strategy!
