Rescued!
Hi! My name is Dakota Skye but my new forever family calls me "Koda" for short. My story could have ended sadly, one like so many other stray or abandoned animals, but I was lucky! I have so many people to thank for helping me find my new forever home and family!
First, what is know about my back story. I was picked up by Animal Control officers from a small, rural town in Utah. They took me to the local animal shelter but I was too big for them (I'm a Great Pyrenees) to keep so I was put on their euthanasia list. Some wonderful people from Wag On Train rescue saw me and decided they would put out the word to see if some would save me!
Jamie at Wag On Train posted my picture on Facebook and other social networking sites, to see if someone would open their heart and home to me. An nice lady named Christie shared my info on her Facebook page and my new human sister, Britt, sent my info to my new human mommy and the rest is history! My human mommy contacted Jamie and told her that I would be a great addition to their home. So Jamie set about getting my adoption papers ready.
My human mommy says she fell in love with me the moment she saw my picture. She wasn't worried one bit that they weren't sure about my manners and whether or not I was house broken. The big problem was getting everything arranged so that I could be taken from the shelter before my "dead" line. Because I was so far away, my mommy couldn't come get me until Saturday.
That's when this great lady named Polly stepped in and fostered me for a day or so until my new mommy could come get me. Polly was really nice and had lots of dogs and horses. Because I had so much June grass in my fur, they had to shave me. That's when they found out that a lot of the June grass had buried itself into my skin and I had some infections. Polly took good care of me and made sure that I took all my medicines.
Then, on the 16th of July, I was sleeping in Polly's door yard when a car pulled up and out stepped three ladies, one with dark hair and two with blonde hair. I met them at the gate and wagged my tail. That's when the dark haired lady told me that she was going to be my new forever mommy and that the two blonde ladies were going to be my forever human sisters. They brought me my very own, brand new red collar and leash! They walked around with me and played with me for a while and then we got in the car and made the long trip home!
I was so grateful to everyone that helped me. If it wasn't for them, I would have crossed the rainbow bridge before my time. I'm also thankful to all those people that donate to the animal causes. Every little bit helps!
