Jinx ❤️ my first foster needed a spot on this page. I saw her sweet little face on Facebook, that’s the first time I learned about the animal situation on TX. She was on a list to be euthanized, due to no fault of her own. The shelter she was at was tax-funded/state-run so legally they have to accept every new stray or surrender. That means when there’s no space, they need to make space by euthanizing animals who have been there the longest. Even when they have perfect health, temperaments, etc - like Jinx :(

I couldn’t just scroll by and not do something. I was connected to a great rescue @homerunhoundsar and we saved her. Got her vetted, vaxxed, spayed, and transported to the northeast.

3 years ago this weekend Jinx was adopted and became Daisy ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for making my first foster experience so great. People ask how you can give up your foster, but it’s so much easier when you meet pet parents like them.

Last summer, Daisy was diagnosed with cancer. I feel good that she got to experience love and safety and life outside of the shelter - she got 2 extra years with Jess & Brendan. I like to think of her with Ali at the rainbow bridge ❤️ forever a good girl.
