Happy Gotcha Day to Sweetness! Nearly two months ago, Sweetness was found starving, weak, and barely clinging to life, but thanks to the love and care he has received, Sweetness has shown everyone the power of second chances. Sweetness has been in foster with one of our staff members, who has been assisting with his medical care and healing. The sores on his legs have healed, and hes gained over 20 pounds since he first came in! 

Watching him grow stronger and stronger every day, our staff member and her family realized that Sweetness wasnt just a temporary guest, he was family. Today, Sweetness is healthy, happy, and officially adopted! Proof that sometimes the best foster fails are actually the biggest wins!

We, and Sweetness, are so grateful to the caring kids and their mom who rescued him, the amazing team at the Veterinary Emergency Group and to all of you who have shared his story and supported his care with donations. Thank you and happy tails to Sweetness! These are the happy endings we live for.
