After spending almost 200 days in the Animal Welfare Society of SA’s care, Lady Rose has found her forever home.
Her new owners Peter and Patricia Muller of Flamingo Vlei read her story on Cape {town} ETC on July 8 and immediately knew that she was the one.
Peter wasted no time calling the Animal Welfare Society of SA to find out if Lady Rose was still available for adoption, and earlier today, the family drove through to meet and introduce her to their beloved 6-year-old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Leo, who added his bark of approval to the unanimous decision to adopt her.
The Mullers recently moved into their new home and Peter, who enjoys walking, was keen on getting a larger dog as a walking companion.
He initially had his heart set on a Doberman, but after seeing the adorable pictures of Lady Rose and reading her story, Peter and his family were smitten.
“Yeah – she is beautiful!” everyone exclaimed adoringly.
“Peter reckons that rescue dogs are the best and believes that what makes them extra-special is their knowing that their adopters were willing to give them a 2nd chance. We agree 100%,” says the Animal Welfare Society of SA.
This evening, instead of spending another night all alone in her kennel worrying about what tomorrow will bring, Lady Rose will get to enjoy the companionship and love of her new forever family.
“The animal welfare profession can be brutal and fairy-tale endings like this need to be celebrated so Cape {town} Etc and Leigh-Ann Londt, in particular, we invite you to bask in the glow of helping us to save Lady Rose.”
