Abandoned Dog Finds A Loving Forever Home After Sleeping On A Wet Blanket
In my family, all of our pets that we’ve had have been strays. One of our cats was brought home as a kitten by my dad after he noticed him foraging around the parking lot of his work in the evenings. Then, our other cat we took in from our neighbor who had complained about an injured stray hanging around their home. And, of course, our dog was the original stray that we picked up at the shelter. Helping stay animals find a home is always a wonderful idea if you’re ever in the right position to do so. Photo: YouTube/Animal Shelters...
