MEET DOVIE DARLENE
Sometimes they come to us with a name, a history, and a story.
And sometimes they come to us with nothing but the fact that they survived.
Meet Dovie Darlene, our newest and tiniest little Fishy’s Friend.
Dovie is just 4 weeks old and 1.5 pounds. She was found in a ditch, far too young, malnourished, cold, and with a little body full of worms. We don’t know her breed. We don’t know where she came from or how she ended up there.
But we know where she is now.
Safe. Warm. Fed. Loved.
We took her straight to the vet, and right now our only job is helping this tiny body get stronger. Her temperature was dangerously low, so we’re on baby watch for the next several days, bottle and slow feeding her every two hours with food and puppy milk replacer.
And already, our little dove is starting to perk up.
Dovie Darlene may have started life in a ditch, but somehow this 1.5-pound baby won the rescue lottery and found her way straight into our family.
She doesn’t know it yet, but she will never have to wonder where her next meal is coming from. She’ll never have to wonder if someone is coming back for her.
From here on out, somebody is always coming for you, Dovie.
Welcome to Fishy’s Friends, little dove. You just focus on getting stronger.
We’ve got you from here.
