Guess what - Olga has been selected as the Dog of the Week for Facebook's Save A Dog application! How neat is that? We didn't even know until today. Her "week" was August 23-30. What's more, our Sarah was the Dog of the Week for July 26-August 2. I have no idea how that happened, but it is cool!
Sarah was the dog that brought me to rescue by walking up to me on the streets and collapsing at my feet. That was many years ago. In reality, she has become my mascot of heart.
Olga was one of a litter of nine puppies born in an abandoned house here in New Orleans. Shortly after that, the house caught on fire. As a neighbor stood watching, not knowing what to do, out of the house came the momma dog carrying a puppy. She deposited the puppy on the neighbor's doorstep then dashed back into the burning home. She repeated this time and again until all nine puppies were safe! That brave momma and eight of the puppies have long since found their forever homes, but Olga has not. Now seven years old, she has matured into a lovely, petite dog of great intelligence. Although very attached to me, I still hope that one day she will have a home of her own.
I found Olga on Facebook's Save a Dog and am virtually fostering her. Does she like cats? If I were closer, I'd seriously consider adding her to my family.
ReplyDeleteI also found Olga on Facebook Save a Dog, and virtually foster her and gathering friends, with an everyday effort, because her sweet face tells such a story, and I see so much love and potential. I would love her with my dog, but unfair to her, as currently I live in a 1 bdrm apt. I pray, that there is someone out there, as I circulate her everyday. Thankfully she has you Holly. Pet her for me. thanks Deb in Massachusetts
ReplyDeleteOlga has been my virtual foster for quite sometime. I had a male Sheppard for 10 yrs & he was my baby. Unfortunately he passed away after a long illness. She reminds me sooo much of him. I would adopt her in a second if I wasn't sooo far away in AZ. I know she would love it here!
ReplyDeletesee has been my main foster on facebook and wish someone in the US would adopt her already, she so deserves a nice home...i'm glad she was rescued to such a compansionate organization though and is showed love.
ReplyDeleteI have been fostering Olga on SAD also. Is there any way you could highlight her more? Maybe as Dog of the Day? Would really like to see her find a home.
