Do you remember Cleo? Little black dog, ten years old, mammary tumors, riddled with BB pellets, and a scar across her cornea.... ahhhh, now you remember. We collected donations for her spay and cancer surgery a couple of months ago, which were successful, and she was adopted shortly thereafter by a young lady attending Mizzou who said she has always wanted to adopt an older dog and give them the best life for however long they have left. Well, Cleo has been living the absolute best life! She is on top of the world and loving life. Her new mom treats her like the most precious princess that she is, because we all knew inside that timid little dog who may have occasionally showed her teeth, was a sweet girl who just needed a chance. The chance she was robbed of for ten years. We loved her and made sure she knew not all people were bad. She trusted us, she loved us, and she let her personality shine ✨️.

Do you remember King? Yellow husky mix, one blue eye that he used to swoon all the ladies. The spunky firecracker 💥 of a good boy that had all the energy but not enough time in the day.... yep, you remember him, too. Well, he was adopted by a nice young man who attends Mizzou as well. Actually, he came to meet King one Saturday and brought along a friend who happens to be the young lady who ended up adopting Cleo. Crazy, right?!?!?!?! Sometimes, things just work out when you're not even expecting them to, and that's why we do what we do. From time to time, we get updates on the pups who have been adopted, and it means so much to us seeing how far they've come.

Cleo and King get to hang out, take walks together, and play. How amazing is that???? Two dogs who came into rescue together, adopted a week apart, and were reunited outside of the sanctuary, living their absolute best lives!
