‼️🙏Now praying for the 2nd miracle🙏‼️

‼️‼️URGENT‼️‼️
We will be more than willing for her to travel by any means necessary for the right home.
Following on from last week’s urgent post with two stories that are still hanging in the balance.
Delilah is our second one 😢
We have about a week!! 🐾🤞
Sadly we had to make decisions on urgency & having for the moment secured the 14 month old boy with great challenges, we are now only able to focus on Delilah 🐕
Again time is not on her side.
She too deserves more than ending up in a pound where she will not cope nor, under the pressure she will face, more than likely have difficulties finding someone to save her.
Between her age and the struggles she has been through Delilah also deserves the chance to feel safe, to feel love, to just be a girl discovering the world the way she should have from the start.
So again we are asking — from the bottom of our hearts — if you feel even a pull reading this… if you think you could be her person to help….. please reach out.
Delilah 🐕 🐾 ♥️
8yo Ridgeback Cross
✨ A Gentle Soul Searching for Safety & Love ✨
Some souls don’t ask for much…
just safety, softness, and someone to lean into. Delilah is one of those souls.
A Ridgeback cross with the softest heart and the kindest eyes you’ve ever seen… the kind that look right into you and stay there. Delilah has known love—but now finds herself quietly waiting for it again 💛
One of our kind hearted RR members spotted her in a local rehome page and steeped up to help 💞
Delilah was in her former from 2 years old when her initial home could no longer care for her. She has been loved since but sadly, due to serious medical challenges, her 2nd family was no longer able to care for her so she went to a temporary home until they knew what the future would hold.
Sadly the temporary care that wasn’t safe at all or suited to her needs, and the stress was showing - she has lost weight, was ignored, yelled at and was very unsettled. She urgently needed to move again. They brought her back but to due to the time constraints and again safety issues for her due to her surroundings they either needed to find her a home or she would go to the pound.
One of our beautiful members put up her hand and tried to make it work quickly for Delilah and her 8 yo RR girl.
Sadly with everything Delilah has been through, it has all been a bit too much and the pressure of competing with another female dog was overwhelming and although good initially, her being over threshold is causing some issues.
That and with the member now needing to be in and out of hospital and not well herself , we are now urgently helping to hopefully find a family who would love a sweet natured, loving, loyal girl who just needs the time, confidence and to learn the world isn’t just upheaval and scary before she runs out of options 😔
