Kaly

Kaly was surrendered to the shelter because someone in the family developed allergies. Ironically, Kaly’s inflamed, swollen red skin indicated that she had been suffering from allergies for a very long time with no relief other than scratching herself raw. The shelter’s vet put her on prednisone, antibiotics, trazodone and gabapentin for pain, and also meds for nasty ear infections.
Not only was this poor dog suffering physically but she was mentally scared and confused. She went from having a family and home, to being alone in a noisy stressful kennel environment.
Kaly needed a special adopter where she would be the only pet (at least to start), with Shar Pei experience, comfortable with medical issues, have lots of patience, and actually afford a Shar Pei. She needed help..she needed an Angel.
We advocated for this sad soul, by sharing updates and pictures each time we visited her at the shelter. She was looking a little brighter each day and we felt a tiny bit hopeful as she slowly came out of her shell.

A couple happened to see her profile that was shared by mutual friend, but they already had a lovely Shar Pei girl.

Sadly and unexpectedly their beautiful girl (who had been diagnosed with kidney failure) crossed the Rainbow Bridge leaving them devastated and heart broken. In their grief, Kaly’s post still lingered in the back of their minds, but bringing in another dog was far too soon. Oddly, something about her made them want to know more. After discussing her history and backstory, they decided to at least meet her and consider the possibility of fostering. Neither one were ready to welcome a new dog permanently into their lives… then they met Kaly.
The connection was instant. Kaly was at ease in their space as if she had met them several times before. The couple played it cool and agreed to foster….However, when Kaly’s little paws walked through their front door, they knew she wasn’t going anywhere, because she was “home”
Marla, Corey and Kaly, your guardian Angel likely has wings and a tail, and we’re sure she brought you all together to help your hearts heal. All eyes were Misty with joy for the love of pattering paws filling your hearts and home once again.
