Back in 2019 I was on Facebook and I came across a picture of a Great Pyrenees puppy in a cone of shame. She had been sick with Parvo and hook worms and had almost died. I had been donating to Vet Ranch for years (prior to their becoming involved with Abandoned Pet Project) and had been following them on YouTube and Facebook. I commented that "ooh I want her, and then oh well, I hope she gets better soon!" Someone from Abandoned Pet Project messaged me back saying that she was in need of an adopter and they sent me the paperwork. Now I had been researching Pyrs for about two years and I knew that while there were some draw backs that they were the most compatible with my mindset and life style. So I filled out the paperwork and sent it back. About 10 minutes later I got another message, "You do know we are in Texas right?" I laughed and messaged back "Yes I do know that :)" Later that night I got another message telling me that they had gone over my paperwork and that I had been accepted as a potential adopter. They gave me Dr. Kari's phone number and she and I had a phone conversation the next day. Dr. Kari was very happy at the potential of this pup leaving Texas and coming to Michigan. We made plans for me to come get her at the beginning of September after she was spayed. I drove to Texas to pick her up and I have never regretted it. My pup is now 3-year-old, is a very trim 114 lbs, and is the happiest, friendliest, sweetest girl. Without Vet Ranch, Dr. Kari and her crew, and Abandoned Pet Project my Emma Bella would not be here to make everyone she comes in contact with smile. She has traveled across the country with me to visit family from Missouri to Chicago, and soon to Alaska. She is the best in the car, to the point where a couple of times my dad forgot she was with us. Thank you Abandoned Pet Project and Vet Ranch!
They are wonderful organizations, thanks to their work I was able to adopt my sweet baby who may have otherwise been euthanized at a shelter. Doctors truly do care about every patient regardless of the situation, I highly recommend them to anyone.
