Giving a Rescued Pet a New Lease on Life

By Amanda

I never thought it would happen to me. With just one look into those baby brown eyes I could no longer resist the urge. It all began when one day when my friend convinced me to go along with her to the local pet rescue. I had never owned a pet before and quite frankly was not interested in ever owning one. But the possibility of pet ownership was appealing to her and thought that adoption was the best way to go about it. So I decided to accompany her on her journey. That’s when it happened – I spotted one of the cutest beings that I have ever seen. She was small, fragile and delicate. She gazed back up at me with a look that only a mother could understand. That’s when I knew – I had to have her. She was the sweetest dog – but she was very different from other dogs. She only had two hind legs – she was born this way and her previous owners did not want her. But for some reason, I had not noticed right away that she was missing her two front legs – It didn’t matter. I fell in love instantly and proceeded to leave with her. I knew immediately that I wanted to name her Angel. She needed special care and I was the one to give it to her. As I led a pretty active lifestyle, I wanted Angel to be a part of it too. So, the next day I went to the vet and had her assessed and they offered to make her custom legs on wheels so that we could go for long walks together. She took very well to them and gets very excited when it’s time for our walks. Angel has really changed my life for the positive and I know I have done the same for her. Taking extra good care of her is my priority. That's why I only feed her holistic pet food from Brandy's Holistic Center and Canine Café.
