An act of kindness - ONE person can indeed make such a difference. As I worked with a student in my course to find a suitable partner for her female Maremma pup, rescue was considered and an adult male LGD seemed like a possibility. We made the decision to go a different direction, but this dog in need was not forgotten. The following is a quote (shared with her permission) from Nicole about what she did to help protect this dog she had not even met. I am in awe of her.
"You may remember the adult dog Fynn whose owner got divorced and had to sell her farm and was not able to afford his vet care or to keep him. I had wanted to take him but was worried our male Pyrenees would not tolerate another male and you agreed that was a concern. I’ve been trying to find Fynn a home ever since but the first few fell through since the owner could not meet the people half way due to lack of a reliable vehicle. Anyway, he also had skin issues due to fleas and was digging and causing hot spots. I paid for him to go to the vet and get treated, tested for heartworm (negative thankfully), and I remembered someone I knew in Iowa who has poultry and goats (which is what he guarded previously). They are picking him up next weekend and he will be joining their Akbash to guard the farm! I’m so happy about it!!!"
