From someone who currently has 6 rescue dogs and one rescue Maine Coon cat, this young lady is amazing! Living in the country means lots of dogs dumped on the roads. We've had as many as 8 dogs. We try to find them forever homes but if they can't be adopted, they have a wonderful life with us on 21 acres of pasture and woods. Love what you do!

[@kasondaleigh]

I love what YOU do! ❤️

[@oORiseAboveOo]

Thank you so much.

The absolute strength of these rescuers to do what they do is incredible. I am not strong enough to part ways with a dog like that. I don't know how you guys and girls do it, but thank you for putting some beauty and compassion back into the world

[@alisha_madariaga]

During the 4 months of working with the rescue and Lauren (the girl in the video besides me) , I kept telling her … I don’t know how you’re gonna do this… . Part of me didn’t want to take him just for the simple fact that I didn’t want to cause her heartache by taking him away ! But much like an open ended adoption with human babies, I have kept in constant contact with her and the rescue and I send pics, videos , updates, etc. so he’s never far way and they are welcome to see him any time they want to ;)

[@alisha_madariaga]

Omg!! That’s my Simba!!! I’m his adopter:) . I’m the one who adopted him from “the animal pad”. He’s my sweet boy and I love him so much. He is his forever home now:) I wish I could share photos of him on here! EDIT: omg I’m in the video!!😮😮😮😮. I had no idea! Wow this is going to be such an amazing keepsake . Thank you !!

[@voyaristika5673]

I literally gasped out loud when the pic flashed of Simba with his coat grown in. I wasn't expecting anything THAT beautiful! Foster people have an amazing balance of compassion and strength. She took this broken little guy and spent months helping him become his beautiful happy self, then she let him go to his loving family. I cried with her, for Heaven's sake. It takes a very special person. ❤

The skill and dedication of these rescuers is incredible! She healed his trauma and allowed him to have true happiness. ❤️❤️❤️

[@alisha_madariaga]

Simbas trauma will never fully be healed and he will retain some of his issues for the rest of his life. That’s why he was considered a “special needs” adoption. But the work they did to even make him adoptable should not be discounted by any means. The work they did was extraordinary and I’m so thankful to them because it’s that work that allowed me to be able to bring him into my home as a member of the family and I continue to work with him every day to build upon what they had done with him. But it was important to them that I understood , as his forever home , that his issues would not just magically disappear , and that if I was looking for a “perfect dog”, then Simba was not the one for me. But I DID understand these things and accepted Simba for who he is . Challenges and all.:)

[@Sweetpea064]

@@alisha_madariaga That is a very good point. He will always have the trauma and it’s great that you are so understanding. ❤️❤️

[@michaelbelcher3622]

The dedication that people in the rescue community show is beyond amazing. And seeing Simba in his forever home with his loving dog mom is reaffirming.
